Does a Zebra in the wild make a sound?

Today we are checking out a great read of a blog called Zebra Sounds at www.zebrasounds.net.

I’ve been loosely related to this author for just a hair over forty years but we’ve only just really talked this past one. Judy Clement-Wall, the writer of Zebra Sounds, was my best buddies older sister back in 1968. Being a girl and having girl things to do, my buddy and I left Judy to her own business and except for an occasional head butting or howdy, we spoke little but were probably used to each other being near by. That ended in 1981 when she graduated and was gone from my life. Facebook comes along and I am amazed at how many people are finding me and each other. Heck, my kindergarten room formed a group. I had forgotten that probably thirty of us went through all 13 years of school together and it was fun talking to them again. One day, Facebook suggested that I may know Judy. We friended up and exchanged pleasantries. I noticed she had a blog. I start reading said blog and find that this girl I felt was almost a sister in law was so amazingly funny and insightful. She was not posting every day back then and I was not brave enough to comment often as I think I am probably no less a nuisance today than I was back in the 60’s and 70’s. Judy has a great system of theme days. I’ve seen many bloggers do this so that their readers have a few chances of one or two days a week that they will be interested in the material. My problem is that all of Judy’s stuff is worth reading and very rarely is something not funny. I’m sure it may come up, but I just dont’ remember those as much as the funny stuff. For instance, on Friday’s, Judy does a caption game. Last Fridays was:

Hello, cutest “Caption This” photo EVER!
chicks
I found this picture on Twitter. Someone tweeted it. They’re chicks… Get it? (That is super funny when you’re on cold medicine.)

Okay, okay, I’ll stop. Happy Friday, y’all! Caption this!

Each Friday she does this and I happily participate. Other days like Saturday are things that make Judy smile. The subjects sound easy but what Judy finds and writes about is thoughtful, cheerful and light hearted.  Her very last one I read was about the joys of playing hooky for a day.  Who wouldn’t mind a hooky day?

Judy is a mom to three humans, one pooch and wife to a very cool gentleman that comments from time to time in the threads. Judy has a finished novel and is currently working on the publishing part of being a writer. Follow her on twitter at @jdistractionand engage with her blog.
