TA-DA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my new outfit, folks.   Please note that even my ball has a hat!   Kerfuffle would think that's cool!
The neighbor said the little elephant in the print is Celeste, of the Babar books.   I like the little bows on the cape, but I'm wondering if I should ask for pompoms on the tips of the hats.  What do you think?

 

Happy Thanksgiving !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New threads

I guess Pat took me seriously when I was complaining about the cold.   She's tried doll clothes on me, but I'm not easy to fit.   Monday she came home with (ta-da!)  a piece of flannel in an elephant print!   It's so soft and warm!   Right away we got to work going through the box of doll clothes patterns and found one that can be adapted for me.  I'll post the finished product, but here's a sneak preview of the print.

 

Cozy elephant!

I'm b-a-a-a-ck!!

Is it cold where you are?  We've had lows in the 20's a couple of times, with more on the way.  I'm trying to dress warm,  but I do have trouble wearing a hat.

 

T-shirt slogan wrap-up

OK, just a few more today, then I'll hand the blog back over to Sally.

In my favorite category, cats:

Cats are in charge.  Accept it!

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are cunning and you sleep with your mouth open.

Never trust anyone who doesn't like cats.

********

A friend will calm you down when you're angry, but a BEST FRIEND will skip beside you with a baseball bat singing, "Someone's gonna get it!"

Say what you will about the south, but nobody retires and moves up north.

*********

Tied for my favorite new slogan:

Real heroes don't wear capes...they wear dog tags!

If a man says he will fix it, he will.  There is no need to remind him every six months.

Always be yourself.  Unless you can be a unicorn.  Then always be a unicorn!

Sunday smiles

Today let's just go with some t-shirt slogans that will make us smile.  Tomorrow I'll wrap this up and return the blog to Sally!


I'm not bald.  I'm just taller than my hair.

Nerd?  I prefer the term intellectual badass.

Irony.  The opposite of wrinkly.

Her bootlegging was illegal.  But I loved her still.


It was me.  I let the dogs out.

I dream of a society where a chicken can cross the road without its motives questioned.

This one is for cousins Kathy and Christine:   I'd explain it to you, but I'm out of puppets and crayons.
(like either of those gals is ever without such supplies!)

Still more slogans, this time egocentric

I may not always be right but I AM NEVER WRONG.

When God created me he was just showing off.

I don't want to brag or anything, but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.

It's not that I lack empathy.  Okay, maybe it is...

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

More t-shirt slogans to live by

Today we'll look at the human condition.   Being an elephant,  I can be subjective.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

It takes a lot of energy to simulate normalcy.

If life gives you melons,  you might be dyslexic.

Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.  They forgot to mention morons.

I used to be a people person, but people ruined that for me.

Today's favorite:   Scars are like tattoos with better stories.

Congratulations to cousin George !!!!!!!!!!!

More t-shirt slogans

Today's subject is grammar and spelling!

The past, the present, and the future walked into a bar.   It was tense.  

I before E, except when eight feisty neighbors seize a surfeit of weighty heifers.

Love those two!   Then there's also the misuse of our language:

Ancient orators tended to Babylon.

That cheese doesn't belong to you.  It's nacho cheese.

That second one sounds like a cousin Johnism!

Temporary change

I haven't had much to tell you lately because I haven't been getting out much.  I'm afraid of the falling leaves.  It wouldn't take much to cover me up.   I didn't even go to the Punkin' Chunkin' because Larry thought I might be mistaken for a projectile.   Anyway,  I'm going to let Pat post on here sometimes.  At this time of year she  gets mounds of catalogs in the mail.  She can't resist going through them and especially enjoys the new slogans on t shirts.  She'll laugh out loud at some and tell me others are very wise.  They're too good not to share, says she, so I'm going to let her do it here.   Don't worry, though.  I'll be back!

Hi, Sally's followers!  Today's shirt subject is sound advice:

Don't grow up.  IT'S A TRICK !

Never play cards in the Serengeti.  There are too many cheetahs.

 RULE OF MATH:  If it seems easy, you're going it wrong.

If you can't beat them, it's obviously time for a bigger bat.

If you're not barefoot, you're overdressed.

Lilly the tiger

You might remember that soon after I got to my current home,  I posed with Lilly.   Well, it seems she also likes Tess!

Yes, that sign behind Lilly in the middle photo says, "Blessed are the purr in heart."
