Your Hosts - The Leggetts!
Pretty Poppy
Our New Favorite Word!
POPPYSMIC/pɒˈpɪzmɪk/
Produced with smacking of the lips.
"You won’t see this in your local newspaper any day soon. It comes from the Latin poppysma, via the defunct French popisme. Romans used the original for a kind of lip-smacking, clucking noise that signified satisfaction and approval. In French, it referred to the tongue-clicking tsk-tsk sound that riders use to encourage their mounts. The only writer in English known to have used our word was James Joyce, in a stage direction in Ulysses: 'FLORRY WHISPERS TO HER. WHISPERING LOVEWORDS MURMUR, LIPLAPPING LOUDLY, POPPYSMIC PLOPSLOP.'"

Hey Anna! Hope you remember me. Found your blog and thought I'd leave a note. Looks like things are going well for you! Glad to hear it. It's fun catching up with everyone from high school. Anyway, just thought I'd say hello! So Hello!
Alesha
Great posts! I love reading about the trip!! You can write all you want about Europe and I'll read it :)
Congrats on the little girl. Are you guys home yet?? We want to have you over for dinner!!!
Alesha, of course I remember you!! Looking at your blog, it looks like life is going very well for you, too. I stay in touch with a few people we went to high school with, but it would have been great to have a reunion to see all of the other awesome people I never see anymore. Take care!
