E is for my nickname(Ella)

 *This was the first elephant, I found on Etsy; The artist's name is Ella Parry~

My real name is Ellen; nice to meet you. My nicknames are Ellie and Ella. My brother nicknamed me Ella, when he couldn't say my name.  Thank you for all the interesting comments on the D post. I forgot to mention, what it was like for me. My Dad, Earle could parallel park an oil truck.  He didn't have the patience to take me; I think we went twice. It was my Mom's job. My brother use to lie in the back of the vehicle and scream "We are going to die", every time we went. It wasn't great for my ego. When Matt, my nephew began driving; I called up Dana, my youngest nephew and told him, when you go with your Dad and Matt, tomorrow. I want to you holler, "We are going to die". You can warn your brother, you are going to do this. This is for your Dad.  I had moved away, when it was my brother's turn. When I came home and did  ride with him, I waited till we pulled out on Main St and yelled it. My brother, Clifford(yes, he shares his birthday with the big red dog) recently came to see me. There was a lot of laughs n' silliness.

My brother has always encouraged me, to keep crafting; He says I'm the craftiest person he knows. I told him, he doesn't know that many people.  When I decided to blog, he came into my mind and that is how my blog title came to be, Ella's Edge.

We are 6 yrs apart and fought like cats n' dogs; we have had a good relationship, over all. He is a joker, he reminds me of Adam Sandler. My kids will agree, there is this attitude and approach that enables him to act like him.. Lately he seems more like, Steve Carrell.  When we were younger, he looked like Seinfeld and I had my hair like Elaine. My other nickname is the Cake Nazi, but that is another story, perhaps for N.  So, to end this endeavor, I thought I would share an elephant. My Mom collects them and was able to ride one, her dream.  I also know Dezz, loves elephants, too.  I found this one on Etsy(the crafter's ebay). enJOY your day~  *Last day to ENTER my Giveaway~
