I WON!

WooHoo! I Won!

Look at these awesome flip-flops!

Deb at Talking Trash had a contest going on

over the weekend.

You see...her hero "Cat Daddy" had given

her a canned ham.

No, not the Hormel variety,

not the kind you have for Easter dinner,

or the kind you cook with your beans

to make them taste yummy,

or the green eggs and ham kind

but the vintage kind!

A real, honest-to-goodness vintage

canned ham travel trailer!

(I never knew them by this name...

you know they were before my time!)

HAHA!

Anywho, Deb wanted some comments about how to fix that

Baby up so she had a contest .....the prize...a pair of the cutest

flip flops (that are reported to be really comfy) I think I've ever seen!

Well, she ASKED for comments and BOY did she get them!

But I think the one that took the cake (or maybe I should say ham)

was the WHOLE post that the sistas over at Moonlight Hollow did.

It's a little racy.....

but seeing as how all of you are over 21....

you can handle it!

And if you are under 40.......

well it was before your time!

So, sometime in the near future,

you will be traveling down the highway

and something like this......

will whizz by you...

no, it may not be pink...

it may be red, yellow, turquoise or

my fav...leopard and you'll think

"canned ham"!

Look for Deb and her Cat Daddy

to be cruising by

cause she is one amazing chik and she's

gonna have one amazing ham to

tool around in!

Deb, we can't wait to see what

you are going to do with this

thang!


Thanks, Cat Daddy for pulling

MY name out of the fish bowl!

I think I may just make you some of my

Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Thanks Deb!
You are FABULOUS!



And thank you Jesus...
I'm blessed and highly favored!

From my delighted heart to yours...

Have a blessed and fabulous day!

Patti

What's On Your Kitchen Countertop?

Last night... I walked into the kitchen and saw a plastic box sitting on the countertop.
I didn't remember leaving it there.....I thought maybe Mr. Hero had brought leftovers home ...you know...a to-go-box or a doggie bag as we used to call it. .....so I peeked under the lid. Well.....

This is what I saw............

"Honey...did you leave a box on the kitchen counter?" I sweetly hollared at Mr. Hero.
"Ummm...what's in it?" He sweetly hollared back.
"Don't know....looks like bones or something." "Are they for Dodger?"
"Ahhh no...DON'T GIVE THEM TO THE DOG!"


"They're dinosaur bones!"


And there...sitting right next to the Cheerios was a box of real dinosaur bones. Well, they were the fossilized stone that's left after the bone dissenigrates. (Mr. Hero explained..not really the real bones.) Then I remembered seeing Mr. Hero talking to Mr. Dinosaur Hunter at church. It seems they were trying to figure out a way to replicate the bones/fossils. Mr. Dinosaur Hunter actually found the fossils just north of town. He finds lots and lots of fossils and is very well versed on dinosaurs. He gives talks to the school kids and wanted some replicas to hand out.

I was just glad they were't leftovers...
Well technically they were.......
The Fred Flinstone kind!
(Music swells in the background...Meet the Flinstones...the modern stone age family!)

Sorry Dodger....Want some Cheerios?

What's On Your Kitchen Countertop?

Have a Yabba Dabba Do Day!
