Letters keep coming ’bout Doo Dah

I just love fan mail!  And around Doo Dah time is when I seem to get the most. I’d like to share a couple more missives with you:

 

——

Hi Mickie!
 
To use an old country expression, “Well, I swan!”  Saw your avian-inspired dress in today’s Star-News.  Quite appropriate, considering that Lamanda Park is a few miles west of Arcadia.  All hail the Imperita emerita!

Peacocks strolling on Michillinda Ave. (probably just west of the Arcadia city limits line).  Note that since there weren’t any peahens in the neighborhood, they didn’t go into their “If you’ve got, flaunt it” mode.  Some people call them “sport model turkeys”.

Doo Dah Paradeers!

 

To all our friends~! To the entries! You all did a fantastic thing, and we really appreciate it…

 

1st parade in that area, and it had a great energy and feel–you made it happen.

 

We spoke to someone who said “People were absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t even dream about that…”

 

It really felt awesome out there. Thanks for your creativity, imaginariums, and sense of nonsense, we all needed it this year! I have at the end of this message a bunch of links to photographers and bloggers and websites–so you can see yourselves! I’ll keep you posted on more too. Thanks for all your kind messages.

 

And see you next time, be well,

Paddy Hurley

One thought on “Letters keep coming ’bout Doo Dah

  1. Awww. My dear departed paternal grandfather in Lebanon, MO, often said, “Well, I swan” although it came out “Well, ah swan”! Haven’t heard that in years.
