Despite Vigilance, Ypsidixit is Peep-Bombed
YPSIDIXIT has been slaving away on carpet-removal all day. I also took an afternoon nap, on the theory that weekend naps are God's gift to mental health. After my nap, I made preparations to go to the store and get a new broom and mop with which to clean my new beautiful wood floor. What did I find but a book on my fence, with a kind note from a friend, and--a Peep! But not just any old Peep--a squeaky-toy plastic Peep! I squeaked it in delight before displaying it in a place of honor on my bookshelves. How nice is it when a friend stops by and gives me a present? Pretty dang nice. It sure made my day. Peep-bombed or no, Ypsidixit is happy as a clam. (Squeak!)

My new squeaky-toy Peep is made from a particularly high-grade type of plastic-squishy-vinyl stuff. This is no ordinary squeaky-Peep. It squeaks like there's no tomorrow.
It is the shining yellow paragon of squeaky-Peeps.
Some people are easily pleased. Count me in among them!
(Squeak!)

Ypsidixit spoke with her adventurous friend on the phone today, whom she peep-bombed last week, and was informed that this gentleman finally found the Peep I'd left in his car, slyly secreted far under the passenger seat.
Took him a while.
But he's very clever, I hasten to say. Yes sir, very clever. Clever! Yes, indeed.

How nice to know that you liked your little surprise!
Hope you might enjoy a little light summer reading while waiting for the corn to come up.

Peep-bomber, I LOVED my thoughtful and sweet surprise! What a lovely present to make my day!
The Squeaky-Peep is occupying a place of honor on my bookshelves, staring out magisterially over the room with its tiny brown eyes, lord of all it surveys.
And it's not just anyone whom I'll let squeak it, either. Nosir. That privilege will be reserved for the "inner circle."

LOL!
However, I must confess that even though I picked up the book for you, I read it myself before passing it along. It's just the thing to enjoy while the bees do their work in the garden.

P-B, it's rare that I ever give anyone a book without reading it first. I'm working on a book about the history of the telephone right now but I have put your lovely book on top of the coffee table stack of to-reads. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness.
