Wendy and the Whistler - A Short Story


I've never watched Sesame Street...Gasp! I know, but my daughter has two old Sesame Street books that feature 2 letters and 1 number each. Each book has a fun little story that is comprised of one of the featured letters and I mean about 90% of the story starts with that letter. Maybe you know what I'm talking about, maybe not, but I thought it was so cute, so my husband and I worked out our own tongue twister story using the letter "W". Have Fun...

Wendy and the Whistler
There once was a wide waisted wench who went by Wendy. Her weeks and weekends in Wentzville were wiled away when as a wee one she wished for wild watermelon near the wide walls of Wofford.

 When winter washed over the white wavey hills of Wentzville, Wendy the wide waisted wench wandered west into the willowy woods. Wendy waltzed up the wide way wowed by the wonderful wild watermelons wobbling by the wayside. While the wench worked a watermelon onto her wagon the wicked Willie of Wofford watched from his window. Wicked Willie whined, “Why is that wide waisted wench wallowing my watermelon into her wagon?” 

Awash with wrath the wicked Willie of Wofford whisked the wide waisted wench away to his wainscoted washroom full of wet wigs and waistcoats. “Waste away in my wainscoted washroom you wench!”, wailed Willie, “until every waistcoat and wig is well washed.”

 While Wendy the wide waisted wench wallowed in washtubs, she wept woefully and wished she had never wandered from the wee wall-less village of Wentzville. From way across Wofford, Wilson the Whistler heard a woeful weeping waft across the wintery wind. Wilson whizzed to the walls of wicked Willie’s mansion on his white horse and whistled a warble across the wind. “Who is weeping so woefully in the wainscoted washroom of the Wicked Willie of Wofford?”

Wendy heard the welcome whistle and wanted to withdraw from the waterlogged whigs and waistcoats, but was worried that Wicked Willie would be wroth with her. 

But Wilson Whistled again, not wondering if the wily Willie was within hearing. “Whatever wrong has wrecked your wilted spirit is worthy to be withdrawn from you! Where is your window?”

Why, here within the wall of the wainscoated washroom!” the wide waisted wench called, dropping the woolen waistcoats and wiry wigs.

And then Wilson the Whistler walked right up to Wicked Willie’s Window and called. “Who dares to wilt a wanton wench with wet wigs and waistcoats?”

Wicked Willie went to his window. “What do you want with the waif? She willfully wallowed my watermelon into her wagon, and she must pay!   

With that Wilson whistled a winsome tune and wooed Wicked Willie into a wearisome, whiskered, waning wink of wooziness.Then Wilson the Whistler whistled a wordless song to Wailing wide waisted Wendy and she wiggled out of the wainscoted washroom’s window and onto the white horse of the wealthy Wilson. 

“You will have winter upon winter of wobbling wild watermelons when you wed this warm hearted whistler!” Welcomed Wilson. Wendy the wide waisted wench warmly agreed and went riding with Wilson through the weatherworn hills of Wofford. 

Wilson and Wendy wed that very winter and raised one hundred wild wobbling watermelons where weary wenches and waifs were allowed to eat whatever they wanted without wicked people whisking them away to washrooms to pay.

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem.  Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch!  You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

Spring Cleaning Challenge Day 6 Psalm 51:10

Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces. Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God,  and renew a right spirit within me.  What does a clean heart look like? Who judges wether the heart is clean or not? Who cares about your heart more than anyone else? Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache.  When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of...

The Names of God

We are about to start a names of God study in Sunday school, and it reminded me of a poem I wrote many years ago. The Names of God Molder, Creator - Maker of all things. Goodness and mercy to all He brings.  Abba, Father - Child of God.  Hold my hand through life's facade.  Friend, Brother - Always listens to my woe,  Takes his sword to kill my foe.  Shepherd, Lamb - carer of sheep, Gude me through the water deep. Bearer of the Cross - forgiver of sins, Salvation, on my repentance depends Saviour, Redeemer - lifter of hearts,  Shelter and keep me from the world, set apart.  Awesome, Almighty - God of all things,  Glory and honor and praises I'll sing.  What names of God have you studied or reflected on recently? This is a never ending poem, what lines would you add? Sarah
