Okay, now I understand, I believe! What makes it funnier is I am the one who told yorkie that you knew you had to go to the grocery store when you were almost out of paper towels, toilet tissue and kleenex. Then she posted the one about the catalog.

I was unfamiliar with the 2001 cartoon you presented. LOL! I am glad we got that straightened out. Gotta go for hair appointment in a little while.

...saw several cute doggie pictures...

Ms. Amy, I only put one doggie picture there. Have you been sampling the wine?

[JustAmy]

Well .... It said coffee.

I saw Doris Day and several doggies .... ie: How Much is That Doggie in the Window.

I must be having computer problems this morning. (Or vision problems :( )

First Snowflake Photograph Jan 15, 1885




"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty;
and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others.
Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated.
When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost.
Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind."

~ Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley 1925 ~

So the jpeg of my daughter’s Chihuahua wasn’t visible? Only the YouTube embed was visible?

[fewz]

The Great Boston Molasses Flood happened on this day in 1919.

[JustAmy]

No, I also saw the cute chihuahua. He is really cute. Also loved listening to Doris Day.

Thanks for the cute things you bring to Amy’s Place.

Fresh squeezed Orange Juice!
When I was PG with my daughter decades ago
Hubby and I took a trip to San Antonio, TX
Where friends made me fresh squeezed OJ every morning!

[jaycee]

Happy Hat Day

Happy Snowflake Day!

Happy Winter

The clouds sift the flour over the plain, children play with it, they knead some snowmen. People look wonderfully at these snowmen that are so cold and live for only three months. Children are very happy with them for only three months. When the wind is blowing and it is very cold, only the snowmen are playing with each other, talking to each other, thinking about children and waiting for children. Nobody knows that the snowmen are looking for our happiness and they need hearts as them to understand how short it is happiness. Children know that happiness has been for only three months while snowmen stayed with them. Valentin Gabriel Cristea

All those groceries I bought yesterday and I forgot my orange juice. I still have some V-8 in fridge so I will use that until it runs out. Nice good morning, yorkie!

[jaycee]

You had a very good choice of Holidays today, Amy! The graphics are great. The 'snowflake' was my favorite...LOL! Below is one I photographed about a week ago.




Oooops....it melted too.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, my gosh.....how cute is that!?

She looks very high maintenance to me. LOL

[jaycee]

Everyone enjoys ‘snowmen’. They are magical for kids and grown-ups too. Reminds me of my childhood and how we never got cold while making a snowman. Also reminds me of my kids knocking on the door and saying “Watch me, Mama!” How precious are the memories!

Your graphic is perfect with your poetry.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, friends!

I am trying to get Lori's Bed and Breakfast ready for company this weekend, so I won't be around much. I will stop by in between vacuuming, dusting and polishing.

P.S. - jaycee, hope you enjoy that Constant Comment tea.

[Mama_Bear]

Let me know how you like it. :-)

[jaycee]

[jaycee]

Sure will, Lori.

[Mama_Bear]
