MARCHPHOTOADAY: MARCH 19th: FUNNY

MARCHPHOTOADAY : MARCH 19th : FUNNY

Hey all…

Sorry I missed yesterday’s photo.. but I wasn’t feeling all that hot.. or should I say.. I WAS feeling hot.. and then cold.. and then hot again…

This time however it wasn’t the infamous MENAPAUSA..

Mr R…. who basically shares everything with me… Shared his cold.

Not so fun.. (or funny)

Who wants to see a corner of my home anyway?..bah..

Today’s photo is… FUNNY

I thought perhaps this little ditty might be appropriate in light of all the flippin March Madness.

I even toyed with using this all time family favorite gag.

“Come on Aunt Marcy… do the lip thing!! “

It never gets old…

As amusing as those things are….

I thought I would share with you a little incident from the other day….

Whilst settling in for the evening… and gearing up to watch a little Housewives on BRAVO

I mean Masterpiece Theatre ….. * Cough Cough.

One of the remotes fell between the cushion and the arm of the sofa.

So’s I reaches deep down into the cavern to retrieve it and suddenly felt something .. odd.. something leathery and sharp…

THIS…. is what I found…

The look on my face said it all….

…. WHAT THE?

Who finds reptilian hand jewelry in their furniture anyway ????

I love my nephews…

MARCHPHOTOADAY: MARCH 16th: SUNGLASSES

MARCHPHOTOADAY: MARCH 16th : SUNGLASSES

We are sorry to interrupt your current Marchphotoaday post with special breaking news..

Mr R came up with a fun and exciting impromptu idea of taking a half day off and heading to Frankenmuth.

For those of you who don’t live here in the Mitt. Frankenmuth is also known as Little Bavaria.

It’s about an hour and a half drive from home.

The day was absolutely beautiful, Sunshine and 72 degrees ( I know.. and it’s March !!!)

The perfect day to walk around … see the sights and people watch.

One of the main attractions of this lovely little town is Bronners also known as The World’s Largest Christmas Store.

In spite the balmy weather.. Christmas was around us everywhere we looked.

The other main theme found throughout has a definite Bavarian slant.

In fact…. It was no big deal to see folks dressed for work in there pretty Dirndls and Lederhosen

German music wafting over the speakers of Main Street..It just makes you want to kick up your heels and dance a polka.

Ironically our first stop was not a culturally based store but more of a new age health store…

per the sign.

In general you could say the day was jammed packed with all things Bavarian ,Christmas and even Easter!

The entire town was festooned with Easter decorations.

Up and down the main drag, every home and business had some sort of Easter decoration.

It was just lovely.

Topiaries in shape of animals!

Dance…Old

and New

Oh look… How nice of Mr R to want to help get a leg up.

The Maypole fountain was not up and running yet.

But it was still a whimsical site to see..

Cute huh?

Thought of my son when I saw this one.

The old covered bridge leads to and from the Bavarian Inn.

The water fall nearby.

Of the many shops that can be found at The River Place Shops

This one really caught my eye !!

EVERYWHERE you look … and I mean everywhere.. was a sea of material in Pepto Bismol Pink, this material was crimped and gathered on the walls and tables pulling off a pretty impressive look. If you like Pink.

I’ve never seen so many kinds of beaded jewelry !

Over all.. the time spent in Frankenmuth was Wunderbar !!

Oh.. and while I was there… I also managed to get the photo of the day…

Sunglasses.

Till next time….Auf Wiedersehen ! ( Good bye )

MARCHPHOTOADAY: MARCH15th: CAR

MARCHPHOTOADAY : MARCH 15th: CAR

I could have gone this route again..

But that would have been cheating … and little boring I think..

Instead I thought I would show you what I parked next to at work a few days ago…

A brand spanking new Ford Taurus packed to the hilt with shipping peanuts!!!

Now that’s what I’m talkin bout….

Backseat too !!

Technically it’s not a great picture of a car… heck it’s not even a great picture period ( I used my point and shoot) …

But it sure made my morning….

This is the kind of thing I wouldn’t necessarily want to happen to me.. nor… would I ever help with this kind of prank.. * Cough * cough..

but I sure would stand by and laugh when the person came to claim it…

Ah… Sophomoric humor.. so up my alley !!!
