Iowa

Today was cold and dreary. Not at all nice. Mom helped PlusOne type up his State Report on Iowa. PlusOne thought Iowa was pretty funny for having a State Rock, Soil, and Fossil, until he saw that Massachusetts had a State Drink, Cat, Dog, Horse and Donut! Boston Creme, of course.
He and mom got a good laugh at that.

Lucky helped him with the report. I'm not sure what help she gave him, exactly, but he said she helped.

Mom has 2 favorite comments about Iowa. The first is:

Person #1: Is this heaven?
Person #2: No, it's Iowa.

And:

Person #1: Don't tell me, you're from outer space.
Person #2: No. I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space.

Boston Creme is a doughnut.

As an Iowan I resemble those remarks :-). There are times (granted about two days in Spring and two days in Fall) where Iowa could be confused with Heaven!

Heeheehee, those jokes were cute :) I think Lucky is lending help telepathically ;) Or maybe she just found a nice place to sleep! Hahahaha!!

How fun! I remember doing reports like that in school and they were always so much fun. You get to learn and research about things you never would have otherwise.

My Daddy was in Iowa last week for work- but just when he got to his hotel there was a bad tornado warning! He was a little scared but he was safe inside. Sounds like the report was good though. And thanks for the comment! What kind of grinder does you mommy use? Was it easy to learn how to use it? My mommy wants to know. Thanks!

Oh and Mommy says the report should have been on New Jersey (that's where she used to live, I think!)

We think Lucky was helping PlusOne with his report by thinking relaxing thoughts.

We would like to eat the state donut.

Happy pug snorts!

Iowa is really a state? Hehehe

Daisy said...

I think PlusOne must be very smart!

Roxy- I think you are so beautiful (so is Lucky but you are my fave.) If your parents moved the chairs far away from the table would you still be able to get up? I don't want you to fall and I worry you get lonely up there waiting for them to get home!! Lucky probably misses you too!!

Iowa?! How did PlusOne get Iowa to report on?

Mommy loves Boston Creme donuts . . . yummm!

What do you mean, Roxie? Can't you see from those pictures how much Lucky was helping? She's exhausted now, my dear girl. Perhaps someone had best bring her some delicious food! :)

I am a born and raised Iowan, and even I had trouble writing reports on it! Kudos to PlusOne! And Lucky and Mom for helping
