Good morning everyone
Happy Monday
Happy Groundhog Day
Here is hoping that the he does what he should so spring is right around the corner
What a great time we had last night good friends, good game.
lol and the 4 of us here worked really hard on all the yummy snacks even the dogs shared some. A fun time was had by all !!!
So before I start on my Monday to do list lets get started on
Today's Question(s):
When was the last wedding you went to ?
What is the strangest/funniest thing you have ever seen at a wedding ?
Have you ever caught the Bouquet or Garter at a wedding ?
Some Just Because Questions:
What is your favorite food leftover ?
Last time you ran in the grass barefoot ?
Have you ever :
Been in the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts ?
Ridden on a train?
Taken a drink from the hose on a hot summer day?
Today in History:
1887 - The first Ground Hog Day. GH Day is when a bunch of folks in Punxsutawney, PA get up before the crack of dawn, put on tuxedos and fancy gowns, march to the city park, and pull old Punxsutawney Phil out of his little house in a tree trunk. Then they observe him as he goes about doing his groundhog shadow thing. If the woodchuck (aka ground hog) doesn’t see his shadow, it means spring is on its way. If the critter sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter
Word of the Day: exiguous \ig-ZIG-yoo-us\, adjective:
Extremely scanty; meager.
Today is:
Heavenly Hash Day
Crepes Day
Bottle Cap Day
Self Renewal Day
Grand Central Station Day

Have great day everyone !!!!!

We love trains. I would really like to ride one across the country.
The amazing thing is that I have never been on Tweetsie. When I was young, it was just up the mountain from me.
Taken a drink from the hose on a hot summer day? Years ago I may have.
Karla, when it is sunny and the groundhog sees his shadow, it frightens him and he goes back in his den for six more weeks of Winter. I only remember one year in my lifetime when he didn't see his shadow, but I could be wrong. Are there statistics on this?
Last wedding was two summers ago. My BIL's second wife has the same name as his first wife. You'd think he had that name tattooed on his arm!
Nothing strange at a wedding.
Never caught the bouquet.
Leftovers-I'm on my way to Lacey's house to check the fridge. I love leftover lasagne.
I live in AZ, what grass?
Girl Scouts-yes
Train Yes my mother and I took AmTrak (sleeper car) cross counrty one summer. Great trip!
Hose- As a child I loved the taste of water and a metal nozzle.
