ABC Wednesday - X!

Got your dictionary out? You ready to play with the letters? It's that time again! ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and the ABC team of Denise, Roger, Troy, Jay, Barb, Gattina and me! Today is the X day -- you know, like in X marks the spot!



X is for Xanadu! A beautiful island you can visit!



Or if you're an Olivia Newton John fan, you can watch Xanadu, the movie!



If you're musically inclined perhaps you could make some music for us on a Xylophone!

Never thought of Xanadu. Very clever. Great clip art. X words are really hard to find.

Reader Wil said...

My neighbours often go to Turkey. I'll ask them if they know Xanadu. It looks very beautiful! Great post Sylvia. I wish you a very pleasant week!

MaR said...

lol, I was about to comment on your MyWorld post but got caught up in this one. I love the Xanadu photos and the child is great too. :) Even if it is not yours.

George said...

This is a wonderful post for the letter 'X'. While I may have thought of Xylophone, I would never have thought of Xanadu.

Rune Eide said...

A xylophone is probably as close to Xanadu as I'll ever come...

Unknown said...

Very clever group of X-words. I should of thought of Xanadu.
Best wishes,

A beachside xanadu would do for me. Must be the cutest Xylophone picture bet s/he plays it better than me as well. Clever X.

Oh gosh, wouldn't it be Xtra wonderful to lie on the beach in Xanadu!

Strawberry Jam Anne said...

Tihs island looks so sweet to visit! Oh and Xanadu, the movie... I do love it! But please, this super-cute baby playing the xylophone beats everything else! :o)

Kisses from Nydia.

I say we all head off for Xanadu! It's also the name of an art gallery in Scottsdale, AZ.
Best image of a xylophone I've seen!

Jama said...

There used to be a night spot called Xanadu here, years ago, but I rather head to your island of Xanadu! so tranquil.

Arija said...

Such a varied post. i think I like the trainee symphony orchestra Xylophone player best though.

Gayle said...

I'm tapping my red ruby slippers together, closing my eyes and repeating.. There's no place like Xanadu, there's no place like Xanadu. Poof, my eyes open and I'm still staring at a wall. Darn, I was ready for a vacation in paradise.

I didn't watch Olivia, but I like her.Xanadu.

dianasfaria.com said...

& the budding musician is the cutest!

Bradley Hsi said...

Yes, I remember her Xanadu, that tells how old I am. Good idea to buy a xylophone for the grandchildren.

There's a Turkish island called Xanadu? Well there we are, another new thing I've learned today. Love your photos. :)

Kay said...

I've seen Xanadu also. I'm now hearing that music in my head. My favorite photo is the last one though. Cuuuute...

Jay said...

Xanadu looks gorgeous!! But I do love the xylophone in the bath! Such a sweet face, and I can't help wondering what the 'music' sounds like underwater. Interesting, I bet!

lv2scpbk said...

I totally forgot about that movie. Cute baby playing. On behalf of the ABC Wed. team, thanks for participating.

I much prefer the real thing to the movie! Love the shots of the ocean. And the cutie-pie in the tub making music is precious. Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving a nice comment.

jabblog said...

Love them all but the baby in the bath is really cute :-)

Dani said...

your X-collection is just great.
The baby's so adorable. :)

Janie said...

Great X's! After seeing the island photo, I want to visit Xanadu.

I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
