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.

    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!

    X is a hard letter in the theme, but you found great examples! Have a good rest of the week :)

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

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

    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!

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

    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.

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

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

    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!

    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.
