WHO'S YOUR DADDY? FUNNY ON FRIDAY/ AD NONSENSE

Jerry, being a bit naive,

never quite understood what

the guys were laughing and

talking about when

they said that Judy had been a

REAL WILDCAT
before she met Jerry.

He was happy when she agreed

to marry him after only two dates
 and even

happier when she gave

birth to their first son
seven months later.

There were lots of whispers
when their friends saw
the child for the first time,
but he ignored them.

However, even Jerry had to admit

the boy, Leo,  was a bit

unusual looking.

Have a FUN Friday!
You know I will!!!!

PRINCESS BRIGHT EYES TURNED THREE-

HOW is it possible

that or sweet little 

ANNA IRELAND

(known here as BrightEyes)

is already THREE?

But - she is.

I posted these on Facebook

but for those of you that are

not on Facebook I am posting these here.

These are straight from my daughter's camera.

All I did was watermark the bottom of them.

Sitting-

I love the way the sunlight dappled through

and put the little 'teardrop' on her right cheek.

That's my girl!

Always smiling-

Sometimes "posing"

Loving the sunlight on her sweet face

Is it just me or do YOU see a halo

around this sweet angel?

(and maybe an angel behind her?)

Photo shoot is over and 

OFF SHE GOES!

As our Ria used to say...

"An' the beauooiful princess runned away"

Hey---looks like you are losing

your skirt.

Better YOU than ME!

Have a beauoofil day!!

PRAYER REQUEST UPDATE

This will be short and sweet.

Thank you for all your prayers for

JILL-A STAY-AT HOME MOM

I got a text from her hubby 

Monday morning.
He texted me three times 
during the day.
Jill is in quite a bit of pain
but

she came through the surgery 

and the doctor said 
everything went fine.

Now - on to recovery.

I think she will be in the hospital 

for a few days yet,

so if you want to leave her a message here

maybe she can read them 

as she is recovering.

Many Many Thanks

to all of you for the

PRAYERS, GOOD WISHES 

& 

HEALING THOUGHTS.

I will be at the VA this morning

shoving the 'old boys' around!

Have a GREAT Tuesday!

PICK YOUR FAVORITE RESULTS--Who are YOU sitting with?

Well,  This is a LONG POST!

Holy Cow!

If I had known you were all going to come out

of the woodwork and

PLAY ALONG and VOTE

I would have run for 

ELECTION!

The tables all got votes--

but there were a couple that filled up

so I have 

RENTED A BANQUET HALL

for a couple of these tables.

This time I am actually going to

NAME NAMES

(isn't that a lame saying?)

Anyway,

IF your name

DOES NOT APPEAR ON YOUR BLOG ANYWHERE

I am using the name of your blog.

I figure if your name isn't there 
it is for your reason

and you don't want it published

and I am not going to rat you out!

So--that being said:

THE BIG WINNER IS:

TABLE #4

SWEET GRASS

So....Visually

 EXPAND THIS TABLE 

and think of it as banquet sized.

Here are the names of your meal mates.

No fighting over 
who sits next to who either-please....

or is it whom sits next to whom.....

Lori, Sylvia, Kris, Sissie, Nancy, Ronda, 

Cecilia, Lorrie, Karen, Lisa, Martha, Ellen, 
Vee, Dianna, Carla, Amy, Laurie, 
Kay, Nancy, Jan, Krishna, 
Missy, Donna, Linda, Doreen &Pam.

We had a couple of people that want to 

SWITCH TABLES 
(in case they don't like the company?)

Patty, Wanda & Stephanie

aren't sure if they want to sit with 
YOU ALL or join another table.

SECOND PLACE IS

TABLE #5

PEACHES & CREAM

You want to know who you are sitting with here?

Well, good ol' Susie is at your table

and joining her are:

Mildred, Judy, AnnMarie, Carla, Liz, Ellen, 

Janet, Mary, Ann, Ckrut, & Ellie.

 Stephanie  and Jill have decided 
they MIGHT join you

for half the meal.

THIRD PLACE 

With ONE LESS VOTE than the above table is:

TABLE #1

AQUA & PINK

Your companions are:

Linda, Susan, Starting Over Accepting Changes, Nancy,Lynn, 
Connie, Chubmama, Katie, 
Tia, Lola & Donna.

Wanda has decided she MIGHT join you or she

MIGHT just sit at Table #4 with her 
OTHER FRIENDS!

THE FOURTH MOST POPULAR TABLE

IS A TIE

TABLE # 3

PRETTY IN PINK

You are sitting with:

Sheri, Dazee, Spicing Up Idaho, Sandi DiDio, Sue, Pompom,

Karen, Racheld & Anonymous (hmmm...wearing a mask, maybe?)

Jill has decided she MIGHT LOWER herself to sit at your table

IF she doesn't stay at Table #5 
with her REAL FRIENDS!

FIFTH PLACE TIED WITH ABOVE-

TABLE #2

PURPLE PLEASURE

I think those beautiful Jadeite plates got you!

Launna, Lisa, Louise, Cindy, 
Carol, Beemie, Jettie,

Beach Gypsy, Julie  & you have an UNKNOWN guest!

Those are always fun because you never know

WHO might show up!

Could be Nicole Kidman? 
Ya never know!

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST--

TABLE #7

NESTING EGGS

You will be most pleased to know 
you are sitting with:

Ron, Brenda, Debra, Celeste, Rose, Adam, Vera,

Kathleen & Karen.

Now...Patty & Karen Ann 
are trying to decide if they 

LIKE YOU GUYS 
well enough

to spend all their time at this table.

They are kind of fickle like that.

Please don't judge!

As for me...

Well, I will be sitting at each table for a bit.

I will eat the best thing at each table and 

THEN I WILL LEAVE.

SO THERE!!!!

This was a lot of fun...

IF I missed anyone's name I am SO SORRY.

I went through twice to try and make sure 

I had everyone down at the right table and didn't miss anyone.

You can call me out if I missed you!

So-what do you think?

Is this fun enough to do again?

Maybe not tables next time but places or something?

PS- I am gonna say this for whatever it is worth.

IF YOU DON'T

have your name on your blog anywhere,

please consider putting it on there in some form...

even if it is a nickname.

It is much easier to make a true 'connection'

when there is a name to associate with the blog.

Doesn't even really have to be your 
REAL NAME..
(like Beemie-you know that is not Beemie's real name-right? 
 But you KNOW her by that)

I think even BOZO is acceptable....
for some of us

Those are just my personal thoughts...

And if you do leave an 

Anonymous or Unknown comment 

(which I don't mind at all)

consider just adding your name or even an initial
at the end of your comment.

That way I can feel more connected to you.

Hope you have a wonderful, wonderful week!!!

A PRAYER REQUEST FOR A STAY-AT-HOME MOM

I love it when people I know

ask me to post a 

PRAYER REQUEST!

I have been following this sweet lady

and her family for quite a while.

She is just one of the sweetest people

I know!

This is JILL from

BLESSINGS OF A STAY AT HOME MOM

Isn't she pretty?

I took this picture off her sidebar 

so it is not MY photography skills, 

this time, folks!

Her blog is warm & welcoming

and full of family life.

Jill is having some pretty extensive 

abdominal surgery

tomorrow-Monday.

She is a woman of faith

 but

even those of us that are full of faith

have times when we are scared---

when all those horror stories 

we have heard about surgeries gone wrong

assault us.

Please pray for a successful surgery 

and please pray for 

PEACE OF MIND

for Jill.

To add to her anxiety,

her oldest daughter has been having

a lot of health issues and they 

cannot nail down what is wrong.

AND

her husband has an injury that is going 

to require surgery in the near future.

That is a LOT going on in one family, folks.

Isn't it true that when

IT RAINS IT POURS?

Please SHOWER THEM with

PRAYERS.

If you are not a PRAY-er,

please send up good thoughts 

and  well wishes.

They do have one 

GREAT BRIGHT SPOT

their sweet red-headed daughter,

KATHLEEN.

She fills their hearts with joy.

Thank all of you that

are such faithful and wonderful

followers.

My blog would be nothing 

without all of you.

YOU are part of my BLESSINGS

and I have come to know 

and love many of you

on a more personal level!

I will be back with the results

of the 

PICK YOUR FAVORITE 

EASTER TABLE

in a day or so.

Still time to pick a place!

FUNNY ON FRIDAY--THE ACCOUNTANT

She was so sick and tired

of her mother nagging her...

Nag..

Nag..

Nag....

She did

NOT WANT TO

be a ballerina.

And, no amount of

dance classes or

Charm School

influence

could change her mind.

Her Dad had told her she

had the perfect aptitude

to be an Accountant..

because she was good with numbers
and they would teach her how to

BALANCE THE BOOKS.

She was so excited to be accepted
into business school.

 She proudly

walked into the front door,

just as you see her,

to sign up for 
Accounting 101.

Happy Friday- Keep Smiling!

PICK YOUR FAVORITE- EASTER TABLE SETTING

It's been a 

LONG TIME

did it again, 

don't you?

Here's the deal.

You pick your favorite 

and I tally up all the votes

and tell you who you are

sitting with in a day or so.

Ready?

These are all from either

Martha Stewart 

or 

Good Housekeeping, Country Living

or 

Woman's Day.

You can feel free to vote without 

fear of hurting anyone's feelings

because these settings are not from blogs.

Will you be at....

TABLE #1

TABLE #3

PRETTY IN PINK

OR

TABLE #4

SWEET GRASS

OR

TABLE #5

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY----FUNNY ON FRIDAY/AD NONSENSE

Sure and there was a lot going on

at the 

IRISH DAY FESTIVAL

being held downtown.

'Twas a fine day for the

folks that were Irish

and those that claimed 

to be Irish.

Everyone knows that

there is magic surrounding

the Irish.

Flying cars are normal

as are bottles that spray a

FINE GREEN MIST

into the air.

Sure and the lads had a 
whale of a time with the
canny Irish lasses 
that waved
checkered flags for those
that wanted to race for
the Guinness beer.

Everyone had a great day

except for poor Dickie O'Connor.

He was the one that picked the

short straw and had to

strip naked and act as a

human ice holder.
Thanks be to God,
he had tattooed some
designs on to his upper thighs
years earlier.
People thought he was crazy
when he got tattooed like that-
but he smiled to himself
as he thought---
Who's crazy now?  Huh? Huh?
Still and all- that ice was cold
sitting in his lap that way.

Poor Dickie!

He said he is never attending another

IRISH FEST 

in his life.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY
TO YE!

I got home late yesterday and have
the grandgirls today.
Will share some pictures this coming week
and try to catch up with everyone.

FUNNY ON FRIDAY----FRENCH FRIED!!

Jacques Johnson

was beyond

embarrassment

when his

Grandmother dropped

him off in front

of his new friend, Chloe's house.

She was a lovely young girl that

had offered to tutor

Jacques.

It wasn't bad enough that

Gramma had chosen a

French name for him....

or that she

drove a bright

yellow, rusted-out,

beat up old

Renault

(made in France)

but when she

yelled..

"Make sure you practice 
a lot of

Frenching with that

new frienda yoars"....

he liked to have died.

Gramma meant well

but with her

failing hearing she

had only heard part of

the conversation

when he told her

that he was going

to be practicing

the

French Horn

with his new tutor.

When he got home

he told his Mother

that he would be

walking to any further

tutoring lessons.

A LITTLE BIT 'O' IRISH AT MY HOUSE----

Do you ever wonder what

others see when they are

standing at their kitchen window?
Today,

as I was standing at my

kitchen window I looked

over and saw this....

and this

which are both part of this.

This window faces dead West
so it is always bright here.
If you peek through the
glass you will see the
girls' playhouse
in the background.
Closed now for the winter,
it will soon be open
for Spring business...
the business of dress-up
and make-believe.

But for the moment,
I am content to look at my
SHAMROCK PLANTS
because they remind me
of home and the Irish
heritage that came
from my father's side
of the family.

I am then inspired to bring

out the beautiful vase

that my daughter purchased while

she was in Ireland...

and the little

Irish music box..

Can it be a music box

if there is no box involved?

hmmmm..

Something to ponder~

Oh and this!!!!!.She's a beauty, isn't she?

Covered with shamrocks and

kissed by gold accents...A piece that makes me

smile every time I look at her. 

Now, you tell me,

how is it that the FRENCH can 

make such a beautifully inspired

Irish piece!

I apologize for the picture quality
and size.  
I am having so much trouble
pulling pictures since I got this
new computer and I can't seem to
resize them using the normal methods
I have always used.
Sometimes it works and sometimes
it doesn't....kind of like me!
Anway--onward---

Sorry- I  know it is a tad out of focus-

Kind of like my eyes in the morning.

The bottom has an Irish greeting

for St. Patrick's Day.

Overall, it looks like this.
~Erin Go Bragh~
I am adding this after someone
commented they had to look it up 
a while back.
You know THAT means
 someone that is 
NOT IRISH 
reads my blog!!
Whoo Hooo
Anyway-
Erin Go Bragh means
Ireland Forever

MyHero said he thinks it looks like a 

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENT

I told him THAT COULD BE arranged!

And YOU know what I mean by that!

MARCHING TOWARDS SPRING-

All Wintered Out!

I don't know about you but I thought

February would NEVER END.
Then March 
ROARED IN LIKE A LION.

We had several inches of snow.

Snow that glitters like diamonds-

so bright and dazzling 
that it would hurt your eyes.

Feathery soft,
white as an angel's wing.

coating every surface with 
shimmery sequins.

As pretty as it is, however,
I am not a SNOW person.
No.I.Am.Not.

I am MARCHing towards Spring.

I am always  TIRED of winter!

Tired of snow!

Tired of cold!

Tired of the frozen tundra.
Give me snow for Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day and then
take it away----please----

I am MARCHing towards 

St. Patrick's Day with my potted Shamrock...

the plant of  my father's mother

and her mother before her.

Other years found me
 MARCHing to the sink
 to wash the 

Irish China that my girls gave me.
However,

As we are preparing to downsize,

I let the girls arm-wrestle over

which one of them would "inherit" the

IRISH CHINA

they had gifted to me a few years ago.

Before this morning is over
 I am  MARCHing myself 

right over to 

STARBUCKS...where I will 
WALTZ IN

and order a latte.

A drink to warm my bones.
 While my heart 

longs for Spring,
my body is stuck with a
Dreary Winter Day.

I was thinking (that's dangerous)

and I told MyHero I might order 

him a nice little

LEPRECHAUN SUIT

for Saint Patrick's Day.

I'd been looking at costumes
 and I thought I 

finally found the right one.

I was all set to order until I saw that it said-

COSTUME ONLY!

DARN!!!!

I am back home but will only
be here for a few days
before going to visit
my daughter and sweet grandkids.
Oh! Look!
One is dressed and waiting for me
on the steps already!

Have a wonderful Monday.

FUNNY ON FRIDAY-NO VEGETABLES IN MY FAMILY, PEAS

Connie's mother tried

to warn her the

night before the

wedding that once

she married into

the

Jolly Green Giant Family

 things would

be different ...

especially

once they had kids.

Connie's

Mother-in-law,

Grenella Sprout,

took right over

soon after the

first baby boy, Peter Pepper,
 was born.
In the Sprout family,
the third birthday marked
a 'coming of age' of sorts.

For Peter's third birthday

Grenella served

corn on the cob,

brussel sprouts,

green beans and

peas.

This delicious meal

was followed up by

the most

unusual cupcakes

Connie had ever seen.

After dinner,

Connie excused herself from

the festivities and

called her Mother,

sobbing softly,

to apologize for

not believing her
mother on 

the day of her wedding.


Still traveling- be home soon.
Hope this gives you a Friday smile.
