Hump day greetings this last Wednesday of May 2024 -
Shoot! May rolled in, kissed us with all its beauty, and is about to roll out for the year and June will be joining us super soon. Time marches on for sure.
Cool line-up of interestings and laughs today:
Beginning with -
LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA
I actually guessed the correct answer to question #3 of Pop Quiz. Edelweiss!
BOOM! -- I LOVE the movie "Sound of Music" and the soundtrack and I remember in the movie the dad (actor Christopher Plummer) sang the song Edelweiss. I had to do the YouTube look up thing and listen to it for memory lane purposes and here's the link so you, too, can revisit the beautiful song from the incredible "Sound of Music" movie here it is * Edelweiss - Sound of Music *
QUICK QUESTION
What always cheers me up when I think about it - hmmm - many things - I can't put my favorite on just one! You?
GENERAL TABLE MANNERS
My mom and grandparents totally taught these lessons to us as kids - and - it was great to read and be reminded of all. Refresher course sort of thing!
And I passed them along to my son, Hunter, - little stinker - didn't act like he was listening all the way when he was young. But he was because he knows proper etiquette table manners + kindness ways to move in life as an adult. Success!
EASY CRUNCHY ASIAN SLAW
Is a must, must, must make. So good and so versatile and I'd be surprised if it doesn't become one of your favorite recipes you make on repeat -- and know it by heart! (As in how we used to know many peoples' phone numbers by heart - back in the day - before our little phones replaced our memorization skills. ha)
WEDNESDAY READER | MAY 22
Happy "hump-day" greetings outstanding readers!
Been a great start of the week for me. You?
Presenting this Wednesday's Reader for enjoyment + thoughts.

NOW :
MOVING ON WITH TODAY'S EPISODE!
LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA BITS
Never, never, never disappoints.
I walk away from this keyboard typing Leslie's Trivia knowing way more than I did prior. Wow! Where does she collect her cool information? Not sure. But she shares it and now we all know.
QUICK QUESTION
What emoji do I use most?
Hands down - the thumbs up emoji. You?
IN HONOR OF ALL TEACHERS
I know I've posted this piece in the past.
However, with school season about ready to come to a close and summer vacation is in both kids and teachers minds, I couldn't help but add it again.
Kinda like watching a favorite movie again just because it's special.
I love to watch/read something of chill bump value.
IN HONOR OF ALL TEACHERS is that.
Hat Tip to all the wonderful teachers teaching our next generations! We applaud you!
WEDNESDAY READER | MAY 15
Hola!
Bonjour!
Howdy!
Wednesday greetings, friends! Midweek is here and Friday and the weekend are just 2 short days away!
Great line up to share today beginning with:
LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA BITS POP QUIZ
I knew 1 outta 3 and now I know 3 outta 3 and you will too. We just got schooled (in a good way) and feel "light bulb" brighter/smarter!
QUICK QUESTION
Me, my favorite junk food *gasp* is Doritos Nacho Cheese chips. I'd eat myself sick on them if left unattended. Ha.
However, I rarely keep them in my house. When working on Set I used to grab a little bag from the Craft Service table and pop that bad boy open and savor! You?
K9-ALITIES
Had me laughing out loud!
RECIPE FOR COLD SESAME NOODLES
Is TDF! It's so. so. so. so. good. Did I mention good? It's outstanding. And, yes, leftovers are the dreams of midnight snack attacks!
FINDER'S KEEPERS WREATH
WEDNESDAY READER | MAY 8
Hello Wednesday and Hello Daymakers!
Presenting Wednesday Reader this fine day of May 8.
Pretty sure you'll love the read today as much as I do/did putting it together:
LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA
Is so fascinating and I always feel smarter reading her pieces. Whoever heard the word "Kleptoparasite"? Raise your hand if you have. Not me. But I do now and I might pull the word out from time to time just to see people's brows do a brow question mark thing. Ha!
QUICK QUESTION
How many animal sounds can I make? I actually started making the sounds to count and my cats awoke from their catnaps, at full attention, gathering around to see if I'd gone C-R-A-Z-Y. They amuse me and from time to time I try and amuse them.
I counted 8. How about you?
OUTTA THE MOUTHS OF BABES
Is beauty-full. I don't even have a favorite take away. All are heartbeats of awwwwww.
HERB SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE
Is an absolute must make. I'm not even going to go on and on about it. Just gotta trust me. Once you make it - you'll be a diehard fan all summer long! This summer - next summer - and all summers forward! Get ready for people to ask for the recipe because it's gonna happen.
WEDNESDAY READER | MAY 1
Wednesday greetings -
Shazam (!) and just like that May has arrived!
Time (weeks, months) seems to pass and sneak up fast.
Presenting Wednesday Reader full of fun and fascination.
Beginning with:
LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA AND FASCINATING FACTS
Mittens + famous writers' being rejected + porcupines. Intriguing.
QUICK QUESTION
I didn't or don't recall every having an imaginary friend as a kid. However, I remember my grandma telling stories about Boo-Boo-Shorty - the imaginary friend my uncle had as a kid. Funny! Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid?
WEDNESDAY READER | APRIL 24
Wednesday greetings!
It's "hump day" as it's been dubbed. Half-way through the work week.
Hold tight - Friday and the weekend are on their way!
Presenting Wednesday Reader. Whole bunch of fun packed in today!
Beginning with:
LESLIE ELMAN
Did you know what the "pearls" are in a cup of BOBA -- or Bubble Tea are?
I didn't! Pretty cool, for sure. I'm gonna seek a cuppa BOBA next time I see a shop offering it to really give it a tasty-taste!
QUICK QUESTION
Weirdest thing by my bed is a can of wasp spray. And it's not for wasps.
In the unlikely event that an intruder enters my home -- I'm armed and ready! Pretty sure I got the idea from a movie I saw a long time ago. Makes sense to me. You?
SIGNS IN THE KITCHEN
Are a crack up!
SMOKED SALMON NICOISE SALAD RECIPE
Is kisses to the sky delish! I actually prefer the canned tuna over smoked salmon. Both fish great options for this salad + a glass of cold Rose wine.
WEDNESDAY READER | APRIL 17
Wednesday greetings Wondrous Readers!
Cool line-up for today.
Beginning with the Illustration of the CHESHIRE CAT - makes me smile because he's both smiling and has a a little mischievousness all at the same time.
SPEED BUMP CARTOON
On a scale of 1-10 how painfully awkward is this? Me, personally, might answer, "Can I answer Richter Scale awkward?" ha!
QUICK QUESTION
How do I define beauty? Let me count the ways --
A new flower that popped up in the garden that wasn't there yesterday.
A little kid in a shopping cart at the store with his/her parent who gives me a toothless grin.
Peek-a-Boo moments/memories of those who have gone before me - people + pets (via a song on the radio or a cool siting while out and about).
Laugh out loud outta nowhere moments.
You?
18 SIGNS YOU'VE GROWN UP SINCE HIGH SCHOOL

Needs no intro. Simply a kiss of culinary delight!
WEDNESDAY READER | APRIL 10
Hello Outstanding readers!
Presenting Daymaker's Wednesday Reader on this day April 10th -
Lots of fun and joy today!
Beginning with:
QUICK QUESTION
Undoubtedly my immediate "ick" is in a grocery store when I witness a kid or adult absolutely full-out sneeze or cough (not covering their mouths) on the buggy handle-bar. Seriously? Totally makes me never forget to grab a few or more sanitizer wiper-deals and wipe the handle bar of any cart I grab to do my shopping.
Just "ick"! You?
LESLIE ELMAN'S
Trivia via Pop Quiz and Fascinating Stuff is intriguing + entertaining + offers material for all of us to find a twinkle in our eye(s) and introduce/share interestings in a 1-2-3 + group of people should conversation lend itself to such.
I LOVE the tiny -GIANT story about IN CASE YOU PASS BY A BUS STOP. A thought-ful, problem-solved read.
MEDITERRANEAN LAYER DIP
Pretty sure we all know of the fan-favorite "taco style 7 layer dip" -- * drum roll * -- Introducing another outstanding dip - not as well known - yet! STELLAR!
WEDNESDAY READER | APRIL 3
Hello
Hola
Bonjour
Daymakers!
Presenting Wednesday's Reader on this 3rd day of April. How's April rolling in for you? Good here. We had some heavy April showers yesterday which my trees and grass (and weeds - ha) were grateful for = me, too.
Cool + fun + interesting line up today.
Beginning with:
LESLIE ELMAN'S POP QUIZ
I had to refer to good ol' Google for the pronunciation of the word Qaanaaq in question #1 because I'd never seen the word before and it totally intrigued me. Here's how it's pronounced if you, too, are intrigued *click*
QUICK QUESTION
What's the most monotonous sport to watch for me? BOWLING!
And Golf follows at a very close 2nd and then Tennis absolutely is #3. All fun to play/do -- but being a spectator is a different ball game sort of thing. You?
LAYMAN'S LANGUAGE COLLECTION OF 10
Is spot on. I am especially fond of #6 "... it's just a bend, not the end."
