We took a trip through the wild jungles of the World’s Largest General Store in Pennsylvania.
~ click the images to make them biggerer ~
I was attacked by a humongous snake.
With no one to save me (Mommy and Oma were looking at shoes),
I wrestled the beast.
It almost got the best of me but
I got it in the end.
You can tell this story is pure fiction as I don't really like to shop for shoes - books and art supplies - but not shoes.

Kiki - Thanks for checking out Creationist Thinking and your lovely comments. I have more sites than one person really needs.
Otin - I love the movie Immortal Beloved, especially the scene at the end where he's floating in the black water that turns into the starry night sky. I think of it often.

That is a great snake! Somewhere I have a giant plush snake.
ReplyDeleteIf danger looks like this I would be willing to encounter it everyday. Lovely, lovely post :)!
ReplyDeleteOMG perfectly captioned and those pictures are priceless. Well done. Shopping? PFFFT
ReplyDeleteI love those pictures! That last one cracked me up big time. Excellent story Oma. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics :-) Visits to such places can put your life at risk.
ReplyDeleteha. fun 55...snakes and dinos...what a cool store you have!
ReplyDeleteVery funny. Well done.
ReplyDeleteha ha ... like that... kudos to the smart boy
ReplyDeleteWhew! So glad he came out of it okay! So glad you weren't really shopping for shoes. I'll go art supply shopping with you any day!
ReplyDeleteThat looked and read like so much fun! Very nice, I'm glad my boy gets home today!
ReplyDeleteMine is here
oh i love this - soooo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteLook behind you! To hear or read my non-PC illustrated Friday 55 click here. Warning you may have to read the footnote after to make sense of it!
ReplyDeleteLol! That is the cutest! I love the pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my... such cute pictures!!
ReplyDeleteYou hate shoe shopping?
ReplyDeleteI'd be willing to stop by with a few samples for your approval?
Let G-Man take the hassle out of Foot Wear Fashion and Fitting!
Loved your 55...
Loved the Pics..
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
I liked your story, Nessa. I sure was sorry to hear that it was 'fiction.' I wanted to ask you if you got out of the store without buying that kid a snake. Or the monster that saved him?
ReplyDeleteYour pictures were neat too. I doubt you had any trouble getting him to pose.
..
BTW, I checked on Country Junction being the "world's largest general store' and found that this title is 'self proclaimed.'
It hurts not to have a Texas store claim the title. Since the Pa. on burned to the ground and was rebuilt in 2006 I think ours in Orange, Texas, is probably the worlds largest 'original' general store.
..
Very brave and very cute. I love the picture with the dinosaur behind him.
ReplyDeleteLOL....what gal really LIKES shopping for shoes?
ReplyDeleteLove the attack of the snake...especially the photos and the cute booger in the cart wrestling for the top hand!! Love it.
I'm with you. I'd much rather be buying office supplies or crafts than clothing.
ReplyDeleteGreat snake!! Great story, too.
Lovely story and pictures. Did he see off the dinosaur also?
ReplyDeleteWhat a riotous 55! The photos are awesome. I'm with you. Shoes? Nope. Books? All day long.
ReplyDeleteDARLING baby and fantastic sequence! LOVED this. Hey, thanks for coming by to share the filming stories with me! :)
ReplyDeletesuperb :)

Wow, I love that snake! I don't love shopping either. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is an adorable story! But Nessa... WHEN did that Baby get sO BIG!?? Oh my goodness... I hope my Baby Boy does not grow THAT fast! I gotta find me summa those No Grow Pills!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute story -- and that last photo is set so well with the monster/dinosaur right behind him -- conquered the snake, but look out for the dino!
ReplyDeleteOoh baby, baby it's a wild world.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Nessa -- that is very creative. And inspiring to add the pix to tell the story.
ReplyDeleteFun getting to know you better!
Love it. Our local mall was like a jungle today. I don't like to shop for shoes either!
