Friday the 13th

Welcome to Friday the 13th here in Bubba's Sock Drawer. The rainy day fun has began. I'm here to talk about a sad day. I was surfin around the web last night and have come to discover that some of the Sock Monkey websites are disappearin. Now I know that since the mass produced Sock Monkeys have hit the market, us vintage folkart lovers have been let down. True I don't have lots to discuss as I once did due to life happenin,but will remain true to my vintage self. I will continue to blabber a mouth full from time to time. And every now and again, I will be goin places and be pleased as punch ta share it here with ya'll. But for the most part it's a way to entertain myself.



So pull up a porch swing and just enjoy life. Put the hot dogs on the grill and feel very blessed to even have them to put on the grill. In an age where anybody on the planet can be famous just by airrin their lives on reality TV, I'm just here smellin the roses and pourin myself another cup of coffee.



Watchin the tomatos grow. Just breath! It's the only thing in life that's still free! That and a smile. may the blessins flow for you all! Bubba

Buffalo's in Nashville

Buffalo's in Nashville Possum's! As ya'll can see, it's a buffalo ridin day! So I loaded myself on top of one and went for a ride. A statue in the community and one of many. The sun is shinin and the birds are singin! Off on the warm side,but an all around beatiful day. The grass has been mowed and life keeps on movin on.



I dressed for a stroll in the garden so I could enjoy lifes smallest pleasures. love to see the flowers bloom. Our dinner will consist of black-eyed peas and turnip greens. Have a great day Possum's. Bubba

Really Tuesday this time

Do ya'll ever feel like the life blood is bein sucked out of you? I'm here to tell you IT IS! Maybe not but it sure feels that way sometimes. The sun is shinin and the birds are sangin this beautiful day! An all around great day to sit out on the back porch and have your coffee. And so I did! The tomato plants are about 3 inches out of the ground and lookin good. I pray that this year they actually produce tomatos. The last two years, we haven't seen a one. But then I've seen talk about that all over the web. This year I tried seeds instead of the plants we buy down at the local Wal-mart. I got 19 sprouted in a pot. As soon as they are large enough, I will trans plant them into the ground. So keep your fingers crossed that they survive. The lilly bulbs are comin up and they are gettin ready to bloom. Lookin forward to their beauty out in the yard. I will share photos of them when that happens. It's always excitin to see the flowers wonderful colors.



But for now we will enjoy these store bought roses. They don't last very long,but beautiful for a short time. And these are the things that are happenin in my world at present. Have a great day! Bubba

Tuesday

Good afternoon Possum's and Sock lovers and fans of Bubba's Sock drawer. Much is changing in our world. Due to sickness over the last year Mike and I had to give up on our My Space account because he couldn't handle it anymore. Last night we made the decision to just delete MySpace all together. We deleted our facebook account some months ago and as for Twitter....I don't even know what that is, so no delete there. I will however...Keep this little blogspot.

Many of you have been askin me about my thoughts on the Bin Laden death. It not only scares me, but I think the photo's should be shown to at least the families of 9/11, so that they can have closure on the loss of their loved ones. The Bible does say,"If you live by the sword, you die by the sword." I for the life of me don't even know why he wanted to kill us all so bad. Perhaps I will never understand it and maybe I don't even ever want to understand it. It's sad to say that we the people of planet earth can't get along with each other. There are bibical wars goin on in Eg. and Jerusulem at this very minute. Mike and I paused for a minute to pray for those people. The floods are on goin in Memphis and other cities in other states. Folks are losin their homes and family members. Sorry to be so serious here in the Sock Drawer. We have always tried to keep a funny laughin fun time. In all the troubles of the world...Folks need a laugh to ease the pain. We will continue to try and keep a fun time for all as we all go through the things that hurt us so. What better way to do it than with a Silly Sock Monkeys point of view. That's where I come in. Mike, My Dad, if you will and I have been doin Bubba's Sock Drawer for 20 years now. It has given us a laugh even at deaths door.

We dearly love to interact with other Sock Monkey enthusist in cyber space. Many of the websites have stopped doin their thing and have now started salin S.M.'s. That gets old when your tryin to find other sites online to have fun with and pretend we are the celebs of the S.M. world. All the worlds a stage! Happy Tuesday. Bubba

May happenings

Well done royals! The royal weddin was a great success! I enjoyed watchin it from the sofa instead of actually bein there! Didn't have to fight the crowds and be frisk at the airport! Not allowed to take along a needle and thread in case I spring a leak! The scissors? Simply out of the question! Bein an old vintage Sock Monkey. it's good ta be close to these things!



Hubba hubba! Ms. Kate! Lookin good future queen!


New update!!!!!! Bin Laden has been taken down. I have no comments on this subject.Bubba

The Royal wedding

Hello Royal watchers and my Possum fans! For those of ya'll that have been keepin up with the royal wedding day plans...I am sorry to say that...I...Bubba... will not be able to attend the royal function! I know, Iknow! I will be at ring-side on The Sock Drawer sofa watchin the world event. The Queen was all but in tears at my decline of this historic Gala! I politely kissed her hand and gave a little bow and backed out of the room. You see..... I did not want to upstage the royal couple on their glorious day! Focas Possum's! It's their day! I was amazed at the commoners that followed me all upon my leaving my limo! I thought it best not to go. So I shall put my tux back into the closet and make an official visit another time. My celeb status has awarded me the Royal ambassador for our Sock Monkey kind. And thus I except this prestigous position and am honored to be of service. I can say I was honored to visit the late Diana's grave side to pay my respects. What a glorious Lady she was. The world? We all loved her. We will be watchin our William and Kate fulfill their royal duties as the London bridge story continues. I bid ya'll good night and am closing The Sock Drawer. Bubba
