Short but Sweet

Speakies listen up!!! Now i know you are probably saying " That Zippy missed another day of posting". Well, yes I did but i promise not to make a habit of this. When my dad use to write this post he would do a whole weeks worth of post and just schedule them on their corresponding day. I try to do them on a daily basis, but sometimes i can't get to it. So, just like Tuesday's post this will include a little of both Wednesday and Thursday highlights. Enjoy!!!
