Early loves stay with us forever. . .




“No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?”

Albert Einstein




You were my first crush....I was SO young!

You were still running around with that short guy

in white back then.

We lost touch. . . you haven't been in town for 10 years. . .






Now You're Back!


You still look great.


I see you're traveling with two boy toys now.




Crowds still adore you.

Glances turn your way wherever you go.





But at least I have this memento of our love. . .



Aloha ha ha Cloudia

    "Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer wiener
    that is what I'd truly like to be-e-e
    cause if I was an Oscar Mayer Wiener
    everyone would be in love with me!"

    Kinky, Cloudia, really kinky. But also very funny. Enjoy reconnecting with your first love at a July 4 barbecue!!! But don't Hawaiians eat a lot of spam instead?

    Yes, AKE, I thought of appending an explanation for our non-US friends. This is a giant hot-dog (american sausange popular with kids) automobile called the "Wiener Wagon" - not to be confused with Goethes "WEI-mar Wagon."

    Marketed to kids, a "small person" used to represent "little Oscar" the mascot of the company. When the WW came to town we all went wild....I lost my "Wiener Whistle" many years ago - but as you see: I now have a precious replacement!
    Aloha- thanks for being a pal!

    Gosh, everyone used to sing that song. I have never laid eyes on the giant weinermobile in person, but I sure remember the commercials. This was a cute post, brought a smile to my face.

    Thanks for the chuckle. And here I was remembering a story about my first love to comment with. Guess I'll just have to save it for another day. Aloha, Cloudia.

    Dear Cloudia -- You are GOOFY! Saw the weinermobile in my corny Kansas grocery store's parking lot last year. It's a funky vehicle. I didn't know there was a precious whistle.. DrumMajor
