Caged

So, my Possum's....Bet ya'll are interested in findin out how I spent my afternoon. After the roach chasin China Buffet lunch , I decided to take a serious look at my tomato plants and the plantin of them. This year we decided to grom them from seeds. The last two years we planted them , well...they did not even produce a single tomato!



Here they are in the purple pot. With a waterin can in hand I was a spyin on them. I might have sneeked up on them , I didn't want to scare them into not producin this year. They would have wilted their little hearts out with fright! I hear ya'll laughin at the very sight of me hangin from the top of our shovel!



The tomato transplant went off without a hitch and the cage has been placed for perfect growth pattern. It may just be a spect in the dirt now ,but in the comin weeks it will raise on up to footage!



In the mean time It's a jungle jym for me. Climb Sock Monkey climb! And climb I did as if my life depended on it.



These tomato cages can be purchased down at the local Wal-mart. The rain mist did stop long enough for me to get that one in the ground. Go ahead and rain on that little booger! Good afternoon Possum's! Bubba

Lunch

Hello! My Possum's of The Sock Drawer warehouse! Lunch is brought to you from none other than the China Buffet! One of our favorite eateries and has been since we moved to Nashville. The sky is overcast with a mist of rain. An all around good day to treat yourself out to lunch and then back home for a nice cup of hot steamin coffee. The temps are cooler this week as a cold front has come along with the rain. Last night I got to watch a TV show on how they accomplished the Bin Laden killin. Wow! Can I say it was truely interestin to see the U.S. armed forces at work.



As I sit at the China Buffet....I loaded my plate with shrimp! Love the shirmp! Sittin at the next table, was three ladies and one gentlemen dinin on their China Buffet treasures. All of a sudden ,a roach crawled out of one of the ladies purses! They all three screamed...causin a comotion durin the lunch rush, bringin the crew at a fast run! They seem to be freakin out thinkin the roach had come along in their establishment! We on lookers giggled as we watched the adventure unfold! Welcome to the south Possum's. Roaches are very much a part of the southern states. Those of us whom live here just smash it and keep on eatin! Is there any other way? Not really,but twas fun to say. Happy Monday Possum's! Bubba

Couva Calypso Cafe

Hello Possum's! Mike and I decided to treat ourselves out for dinner tonight. We only just arrived back home only minutes ago. We headed to a local Cafe for our dinin experience. Couva Calypso cafe was the choice of a rainy night excursion. Very casual and a rustic settin. Glass front with a view of the street. The ultimate in budget dinin.



The waiter was kind enough to pose for a quick Sock Drawer picture! Fast and curtious service. A smile that could knock your Mama over in her grave. Flash those pearly whites boy!



The Island burger made it to our table without floatin away in the tide. Salty chips on the side to complete the Calypso feel of the joint. The lemon in my tea galss surfin a wave of ice cubes refreshin my thrist after salty chips. Burger on wheat pita! A few chopped onions and a few sprigs of lettuce top off the bestest burger in the jects.



The crew and the chefs of the entire evenin. Little did they know the local crazies would wonder into their establishment for Calypso treats! Hey! Welcome to Nashville!


Give it a try if your ever in town sometime. Excuse me while I go and pick my teeth with a toothpic! Good night. Bubba

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
