Euella - A Once Upon A Time Story


Now when Euella was born in Clarksville, Texas, her father insisted that she be named after the most famous man to ever come out of that town – Euell Gibbons - who wrote the classic book Stalking the Wild Asparagus.  Actually her name was quite a misnomer as Euella Rose Darling turned out to be the ugliest child in the state.  Why they had to tie a porkchop around her neck just to get the dog to play with her.  And the dog wasn’t a looker either.  But honey that didn’t stop Euella from wearing the brightest clothes or slatherin’ on the makeup.  And believe it or not she ended up marrying a millionaire!

  5. Oh you made me laugh!

    I have to say I am absolutely thrilled that you will be joining me on the carriage ride destined for Royal Wedding Wednesdays. When I hit the "publish" button I had a momentary feeling of panic that my post would be met with only the sound crickets chirping. It has been quite the opposite, so much so that I feel we have a kindred spirit/sisterhood sorority.

    Here's to fairytales!
