Friday Randoms - April 29, 2016

Joining today for the Following Memes: Fun Friday Favorites, Friday's Hunt, Random Five Friday & Willy-Nilly Friday Five.

RANDOM FIVE FRIDAY:  and FUN FRIDAY FAVORITES













1. I received a surprise package in the mail this week from a good friend of mine.  Inside was a card that I just had to share:

On the inside of the card it said:  Just a little card to "crack" you up. - How funny is that!

2.  Along with the card was this T-Shirt that she saw on sale and she just had to send it to me:



It's Bat Cat!  - I just love it.  It's a bit large but I don't care because it's just to cute not to wear.

3.  Does that cat remind you of someone?  - If you've visited the blog you are familiar with our cats,  Check out this one...


Now I want to find him a little Bat Cat costume!

4. I enjoy feeding the birds & squirrels (yes I actually feed the squirrels) and even have some of them named.

This is, "Notch" which apparently is a common name for squirrels with missing ears.  He visits regularly along with one who is blind in one eye.

5.  The weirdest thing happened yesterday.  I was sitting on my mom's front porch with her & Coleen when a car drove by slowly and a man waved at me.  I waved back but didn't really know the guy.  Pretty soon he drives back around and slows down in front of the house and yells out his window,  "Did you know you look just like Peggy so-and-so?"  I said, "No I didn't, but I'm not her."  -  Then he says,  "Well you should know she has a Federal Warrant out for her Arrest so you might want to be careful."  Then he drove off.   Geez!!!


I wonder if he planned to turn me in!





WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE:

1.  My 52 Frames shot for the week when the prompt was Food.  I wanted to do something different and decided to go with a Fairy Tale (Guess Which One).


2.  Pepper was enjoying a game of "Grab that Tail" yesterday.  That's Harley on the table and Pepper just eye-balling his tail.  He didn't really enjoy the game as much as she did!

3.  Took a drive about a week ago up Scenic Loop and here is the farm land from the view on top.
 
 
4. Thought I would share a photo of my White Bleeding Heart plant.  Most of the time you see the Pink/White variety so I thought it would be nice to see the other one. 
 

5.  Since last Friday I mentioned that Coleen was heading to the State Youth Bowling Tournament I thought I would share how she did today.


These are all the ribbons she won. - She bowled Team Event with scores of,
88-120-119.  Then she bowled Doubles with scores of, 125-165-95  (that's her highest game ever in red) and finally the Singles with scores of, 110-86-136.  She did extremely well and we were so proud of her.  She had a blast!  Wish we could have been there to watch her bowl.


FRIDAYS HUNT - Starts With R (My mom's yellow Rose blooming) It's one of my favorites.

 

 Texture:  I like the texture of the fuzzy poppy bloom.  As you can see it's been raining a lot this week.
 
Weeks Favorite:
 
 
 
Not necessarily my favorite photo I've taken this week but it is one of my favorite yard decorations.

    Great Random 5, Ida. That's rather humorous about the federal warrant gal! I'm guessing that guy is looking for a bounty??

  8. That card is funny. I bet that guy was thinking he could collect some reward money for turning you in....lol

  9. There is just nothing better than getting a package in the mail--that card is a trip! I love your farm land scenic shot! And I hope you can continue to avoid the 'wanted' mistaken identity! Too funny!

  10. That card is too funny. Snail mail is the best. I'm always curious how squirrels get little chunks missing from their ears...we've had a few over the years missing parts and tips of ears....i'm sure fighting. The thing with those furry rodents....they ruin everything we own on our patio. It's hard to find a redeeming quality about them!

  11. Great post Ida. Very strange about that guy, a little freaky to say the least. Your wanted poster was cute. That bird art is too. I enjoyed all your photos and your fives. Have a great weekend.

  21. Wow - I honestly don't know where to start to comment, there is so, so much in your one post that is beautiful and awesome. The gift and the t-shirt, your cats and the squirrels (love squirrels - and cats!), not a reward on you - ahem - Peggy :), the landscape photo is gorgeous as is the poppy close up. Great shots, Ida!

  27. Congratulations to your daughter for her great results in the bowling! She must be very happy. Your cats are very cute, love that grey face beauty. We haven't got any flowers blooming yet, and it's still fairly cold (6C). Waiting patiently for some warmer and drier weather.
    Enjoy your Sunday :)

  28. That is a very fun yard decoration. Your take on the food prompt was great and congratulations to Colleen on her ribbons.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Your cats are gorgeous. And that card really cracked me up. I'm still laughing :-):-D...by the way, don't your cats chase the squirrels? My dogs can do that throughout the day but I don't allow them. Let the squirrels and birds eat their food first.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am sure I left a comment here before! However I will try again.Loved your decoartion for the garden and the Poppy shot is fantastic for texture.

  31. We have a nephew who won a full scholarship to college (WSU) for bowling. Colleen might want to keep that in mind (if they still do that -- he is in his late 40s now, so it has been a while).

    Busy and nice week . I adore the white bleeding heart; have never sseen one before!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wonderful series! For all the prompts! I had to laugh at the card, and I'm glad you didn't get turned in as a criminal. Congrats to Coleen on her ribbons. The rose is beautiful, as is the bloom. I can see why that yard decoration is your favorite. It's very fun. Thank you so much for joining Friday's Hunt!

  38. The card reminds me of a comedian who was poking fun of how he called sandals by that word and his kids were grossed out when he said he and his wife would wear some to the beach.
