8 ball

Here's to the eight ball enthusiest. Take a walk in the park! Bubba

Chicks

Since I missed the Easter blog,I'll go ahead and show ya'll the treats Mike made for the holiday. Cupcakes in the shape of chickens. They were very popular.
Here it is Monday afternoon and the weather is great. Warm in the 70's. The rain has come and gone. Mike's cold is tryin ta get better.
We're sittin here watchin Crank Yankers this afternoon. An adult puppet show. Pretty funny.

The Sock Monkey news of the day is....Mike has Sock Monkeys ta make for various friends. Three of his artistic friends are getting one each and there is no face features as of yet. They have to take them and make their faces themselves. Make it their own if ya will. Two Sock Monkeys have trips ta go on. One is goin ta Georgia and one is headed to Texas. Lots of Sock Monkey cheer ta spread around these days.

That's it for Monday afternoon. Bubba

It's the big 50

Good mornin Possums! Sorry bout not bloggin in so long,but Photobucket has changed their format and we here in the Sock Drawer have been tryin ta figure out how ta get our photos here in my blog! It's certainly not been an easy task! I use to could copy and paste,but all that has changed now. I suppose its to protect other folks from usein your photos. Makes it hard on us folks that aren't usin others photos. I finally got this one into the blog,but don't know if I can add the others I had planned to use in my blog.

I trust ya'll all had a great Easter! I spent mine in the bakery with Mike makin all kinds of Easter treats to be served up by none other than the Easter Bunny. I was doin the back stroke in a rather large vat of chocolate icing! Just kiddin! The health department would have a stroke and I'm not talkin the back stroke either! Our Easter was a success and all treats sold out!

On a different note.....Mike turned 50 on Saturday the 18th of April! Had many festive things planned,but Mike came down with a really bad cold! He took five days off to celebrate and spent them in bed. Now that sucks Possums! He's happy ta be alive and looks forward to his future and the future of our blog here.

The knitted dog was a thrift store find. Love folkart that others produced themselves.

Hope ya'll have a great Monday! Bubba

thunderstorm Sunday

Everyone likes ta report the things I do here. The 8 ball the topic at present. Bubba

Spring is here

Good afternoon Possums! Wow! What a beautiful day it is here in Nashville! A whoppin 73 degress! The sun is shinin and I'm out back in our little mini garden. Not much to report on that subject,it bein so small and everything. A few flowers put a bright spot in anybodys day. The springtime flowers are poppin up out front. They made it through the freezin temps. Suppose to be warm durin the day all week. Time for Bubba ta start gettin out and about!



I had ta bring out the mower. The grass was gettin tall. Had a little trouble gettin it started due to it sittin around all winter. Seems the gas had gone bad. Everything was ok once I put new gas in it. Now the small townhouse yard is mowed and lookin good.



I'm Bubba S. Monkey sittin here at gas can side and enjoyin the wonderful day! Bubba

Chilly Tuesday

Up up and away! Hot air balloons Possums! Wow! Colorful background for a chilly Tuesday mornin. Possums,it's so cold outside,ya'll's tongue will freeze to your coffee mug even on the inside! Walkin the dogs this mornin was no picnic! Chi Chi pops! Chihuahuas get cold very easy! Bless their tiny little gitty hoppers. They have settled down in front of the heater when they came back inside. I joined them as we huddled up in close for warmth.
Sooo....now you've seen the balloon fabric behind me,what'da ya'll think? Mike bought this piece ta make me a new suit. Look pretty nazzi on my Sock Monkey self. Ya'll guessed it. From the trip ta Hobby Lobby yesterday. It was also 30% off! We decided a new set of clothes was in order. Maybe he'll get down ta makin them today. Get his designer fashions goin on up in here! I'll be sure ta get back with ya'll later if he does. I'll have ta model it for ya'll. Walkin the runway!



The trains are headed down the track this mornin across the street. The world is up and runnin!



Ya'll listen up. Have the best Tuesday ya'll can have! Bubba

Monday stuff

I'm here sittin on top of the world this Monday! Sock Monkeys always come out on top of the world! Ready for anything. Anyting is possible.



It's simply the black and white of things. And as ya'll can see,Hobby Lobby was kind enough to provide our sets For The Sock Drawer blog. Big heartfelt thanks out to them for their generosity. By the way.....they do sale Sock Monkey Socks. Just in case ya'll were wonderin.


Pull yourselves up a chair and have a sit down with me. I baked ya'll some fruit tarts. It'll be just a minute before the coffee is done brewin. While ya'll are gettin comfy,I'll tall ya all bout our trip to the H.Lobby today.



I don't have ta tell ya'll I was the Popcorn in the bowl! Poppin fresh where ever I go. Please don't put me in the micro. It ain't pretty ta see a Sock brother go poof! The Universe is good and I am greatful!



It was a sunny but cold day out today. The high only 30 degrees. Twill be another cold,cold night in Nashville. We also had "The dark and stormy night" this week as well. Some serious stormim up in here. And well frankly.....we had snow as well. One day it even got up to 72 degrees! All rolled up into one week! Seriously fierce.....



If ya'll haven't already done it,ya need ta put the Mardi Gra mask away till next year. Mike and I clinked and wine glass or two for that. Well ya know...a toast was in order. HAPPY MARDI GRA! Kind of thang. By the time ya git all that stuff takin care of,along comes ST. Pattys day! The out come all the green one can muster. The green beer! Goin green couldn't be more fun on that day. I'm just sayin..........I think our ancestors were lookin for any excuse ta tip a glass,if ya'll ask me. So on that day,everyone in the free world is Irish! Let's party!



So in conclusion......Have a sunflower night.Bubba
