Random Thoughts on a Sunday Evening

This Sunday afternoon I find myself fancifully thinking about my favorite f words.

flummoxed by Amy's malapropisms and mispronounciations in the 1994 version of Little Women: " I'm so degretitated." and "We've been expectorating you for hours!"


feisty: My daughter when she was four.


flying buttresses: Toured this minster on my trip to the UK in 1998.

York Minster, York, England

flibbertigibbet:

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!"


farce: The Berrybender Narratives by Larry McMurtry, a funny funny book!

featherweight favorite:
funny freckled females: Up to no good no doubt!


feast: Not many leftovers on this table.


flavorful fragments: remains of this Lemon Meringue pie which my daughter cooked for my birthday.

funicular: You can barely see the famous Sacre-Coeur Basilica top middle of the photo.

Montmartre, Paris

fabric favorite of the moment:

Drawing Room by Anna Maria Horner

Just for the record, I am not actually fifty four yet. I still have another week to go, but we all have other plans and obligations next weekend.

So how about you? Have any favorite f words you'd like to share?

  7. Wow Steviewren I'm going to be 55 in a few days! A fellow Gemini! I knew we had a ot in common. Happy birthday a week early!

    I love the word "fandango" -- meanings --
    1)An animated Spanish or Spanish-American dance in triple time.
    2)A piece of music for this dance.
    3)Informal. Nonsense; tomfoolery.

    Thank you for the book recommendation you left in your comments on my blog. I've always meant to read that book and I'll look for it in the library next visit.

    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!") - from the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
