cluckily


 Yesterday morning, when Rosie woke up, the first thing she started talking about was the weekend. The parties we went to, the parade we watched, the fun at the fair, the watermelon we ate, and the colorful fireworks. Although, she didn't manage to stay up for said fireworks. 

She then proceeded to tell us that cluckily, the Fourth happens every summer.

She was combining, clearly and luckily into a new word. I like that word.

Cluckily, when I stopped in at a vintage store recently, they had some little jadeite flowerpots from Ms. Martha Stewart's former Martha by Mail catalog. 

Oh yes, clearly I was lucky... cluckily.

Try using it on your family, and see if they notice. Mary Kate was the only one of mine, who astutely asked 'what on earth does cluckily mean?'

You need to write down those special word combinations. Josie often tells me that she needs to "brelax" in her bedroom (relax).

Those jadeite pots are simply DIVINE!

Ohhhhh! Cluckily you! :) I love reminding my now adult children of their own made up words from days gone by! Our youngest, Rachel is 22, my favorite of hers, when she recited the OUR FATHER, rather than "give us this day, our daily bread" she always said "give us a steak and our daily bread"!!! My kids all went to a Catholic High School and when Rach was in school, we shared that story with Father Corey who was the spiritual director at their school, he literally spit his coffee out he laughed so hard!!

Good Memories . . . . gotta tuck those away for keeps! :)
