Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea ♡ Happy Wednesday! I wonder if being a Wednesday child, is similar to being a middle child? Hmmmm…. Just something to ponder…♡btw, just incase you are wondering, I’m not a Wednesday child. Oh, and of course not a middle child either. (Of course) W~e~l~l, back in my “teacher” days, (seems like f~o~r~e~v~e~r ago) They use to have Wacky Wednesday. The kids would wear something wacky. Perhaps, they would wear their clothes inside out, or mix-matched shoes. And, if my … Read the full blog post
