Murphy's Law, Pickles and Onions!

We had the enjoyment of listening to two great speakers at our Cottonwood Toastmasters this past Monday. Helen shared with us how she found and named her two precious black and white kittens, named Pickles and Onions. She has an amazing way with words and described her kitten experiences with phrases like "Kicking Kitty Butt" and "Limp as dish rags".

Then Leo shared with us some fun stories in his Entertaining Speech project. He spoke about Murphy's Law with a unique twist helping us to see life from a different point of view.

Our toastmasters gave great stories when asked to speak on "Summer Pastimes". It was great entertainment, especially when Dave talked about his canoe ride when caught in a storm somewhere in the Midwest. He kept going and going...kind of like the Energizer Bunny. He was disqualified for going over the time limit, but it sure was fun listening! I also enjoyed hearing the toastmasters who spoke about Hawaii! One of the speakers talked about how the sand would feel between her toes while she walked along the Hawaiian shores,  and I realized right then and there that I must to go there some day soon!

So tell us, what is your favorite summer pastime? Remember, you only have ninety seconds to tell all!

Happy telling,
From your Cottonwood Toastmaster Toastie,
