When Ms. Mary began creating this web site, she wrote, "Future developments might include photos of, and messages from, the menagerie that has established itself on the top of my bookshelves and whose stuffed (overstuffed?) members have overflowed into the two bottom shelves of one unit and whose introverted members occasionally drop onto the sofa for a much-needed timeout from the crowd."

Well, we -- the Bookshelf Menagerie -- have taken over.  Not only have we gained territory on the bookshelves, but we have gained territory on this web site.

Please join us in this adventure on the Internet as we -- the bears, ducks, reindeer, moose (why not meese or mooses for the plural?), lambs, bunnies, giraffes, snowmen, flamingo, owl, lion, camel, horse, and Puff -- carry you with us beyond the limits of time and space into the wonderful world of the imagination.

Remember to put on your suspenders (suspend disbelief)  as you enter our world where all things are possible ... and usually happen sooner or later.

If you have any tips or ideas or interesting questions, you can email Ms. Mary at admin@merrywords.com

If you have any complaints, you can email the Complaint Department at nosuchplace@merrywords.com

Update on 05 November 2006:
This is what we had Ms. Mary do in this update:
-- Added 15 new members of the menagerie
  (see the List of Photos of Menagerie Members)

It wouldn't have been so much if she had just sat down and done it instead of going to Minnesota for 11 days to get her son married off (like he needed any help!) or moving us and her up in the world (from 1st floor over there to across town here on 3rd floor--no complaints on that!) or running off to Florida for vacation (leaving town when there is work to be done!).
Update on 28 December 2006:
Ms. Mary added "Subtle Wonderings" (a poem) in Ms. Tara's Corner.  And Ms. Mary added 6 bears.
Update on 29 December 2006:
Ms. Mary added four more members of the menagerie.  WOW!  The list is up-to-date!  (Now we just have to get the rest of us at the keyboard to do our stories.)
