Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I am free to express my admiration to all of my girlfriends that I have met during the year. I've met so many this year due to my travels that I am simply overwhelmed by all the kindness these girls have bestowed upon me. I shan't name them all here, as I may forget someone and feelings would be hurt.

Of course I must include my sisters Katherine and Zorra, my Auntie, my grandmother, my sister-in-law Rebecca, the Supreme Commander and of course my mother. And, special salutations and wishes to all my blogging pals without you, I never would have blogged about Valentine's Day.

I did find this poem online that I found quite appropriate.

To my Valentine:

The rose is red, the violet's blue
The honey's sweet, and so are you
Thou are my love and I am thine
I drew thee to my Valentine
The lot was cast and then I drew
And Fortune said it shou'd be you

Until next time, Sam......................

My Weekend

Hello Pals,

As you know, I was forced to get a job. Well, NOW, not only do I have to work, Mother made me dress up for July 4th.



Oh, I guess I willingly obliged.

I got into the celebration and started meeting all the customers at the door to give them a personal tour of our store.

I work very hard to personally assist all our customers to find the souvenir that they NEED to take home with them to remember our personally meeting.


As you can see, I am quite exuberant in my greetings. I do want our customers to enjoy meeting me.

We were working on July 4th, which is a GRAND holiday. Everyone is in a good mood, and there are all sorts of celebrations, parties, and all.

Wait... what is that?



OH MY!!!! It is a PARADE!!






It brings a song to my heart.. I looooooooove a parade.This parade didn't have any bands, or rat a tat tat of a drum. but, it did have some interesting things.

I think this guy left half of his truck in the garage!


This was a very small parade, and this was the ONLY float!! I should have volunteered to join them. I would have been fab on the float.


Look at this overgrown duck! Good thing Katherine wasn't here today. She's a duck toller.


You all met my friend, Horse last time. Here he is all decked out in his patriotic garb.


What a grand day this was. I enjoyed in immensely.

Hoppy Easter

I like being corny by wishing everyone Hoppy Easter. We had a photo shoot today...........

I love dressing up and modeling for Mom. I think it is great!



Sammie likes to dress up, too. He was asking for pointers. Unbelievably the bunny ears were a bit too big for his fat head and he needed assistance in keeping them on.





He finally got a shot he liked.



Zorra DOES NOT like to dress up or model. She did not have nearly as much fun as we did. She was also not amused that our Cousin Cal chewed up one of the cushions on our couch in our room. I just said.. Don't worry be hoppy! BOL. I crack myself up.

St. Patty's Day Greetings
