***********************************
It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus.
Little Girl was finally released from duty yesterday and Coda has gone home, one happy pup. We will miss her, but i do know she belongs with her mama.
Enigma SissyCat is thrilled. She does not like other animals, just people, and she especially loathes dogs. Where that came from i have no clue.
Carl never ceases to find a way to make me scratch my head. The socks he had folded seemed especially thick, so i unfolded them.
 |
| Seems a little too thick. |
 |
| Three socks instead of two would do it. |
Last i checked, he does not have 3 feet, so he does not need 3 socks folded together.
Yesterday i was listening to his radio while cleaning his room, and every time i tried to move the plugged in cell phone away from the radio, the station faded out.
 |
| The plugged in phone had to be next to the clock radio for it to work. |
Even his gadgets confuse me sometimes.
How about some funnies, most from Grandma.
Have a blessed and beautiful day, everyone!
