What's up, buttercup?


The 2013 Denneler Family Letter is in the mail! After last year's pie-crafting marathon, I opted to create a simple little card this time. The words are laser cut, so you can fold them upright to display them.

On the back of the card, is a list of playful rhyming phrases that people use to say: Hello! How are you? and See ya around!

Whatcha know, daddy-o? What's shakin', bacon? What's new, tennis shoe? What's cookin', good-lookin'? What's the plan, Stan? What's the word, hummingbird? What's the story, morning glory? What's the deal, banana peel? Don't be silly, sasparilly. Okeedokee, artichokee. Peachy keen, jellybean. Shut your lip, potato chip. Yes indeedy, pumpkin seedy. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy. I'm the boss, applesauce. Chop-chop, lollipop. Nice thinkin', Abe Lincoln. Peace out, cub scout. Take care, teddy bear. Bye-bye, french fry. Better skadoodle, poodle. See you later, alligator. After while, crocodile. See ya soon, baboon.  That's the end, my friend.



By the way, if you happened to get one of these and it came "Postage Due" I'm truly sorry. My brother said his arrived needing an additional 20¢ postage. Which irks me, because I specifically took them to the post office before mailing them to have them weighed and inspected, MAKING SURE they would only need a 46¢ stamp. Oh well. I tried.

Sending smiles through the mail ... Hope you enjoyed them! - Eric, Sandra, Gus and Bea



P.S. In case you're wondering, this is our version of sending Christmas cards. But I do it in the fall, instead of the crazy & hectic month of December. Here are samples from previous years - 2012, 2011, 2010.
