Punch buggy yellow!

For a long time my favorite car has been the Volkswagen Beetle.  Sometime...oh, maybe two years ago, Mama surprised me with a T-shirt that has a decidedly hippie-looking Beetle on the front, and a bow to match.
Okay, they're VW buses and not Beetles, but who's counting?  LOL, Beetles were once a source of comedy for my family as my sister and her then-boyfriend would play "Punch Buggy" wherever they went.  They extended their game to include Ford Mustangs ("charley horse"), Chrysler PT Cruisers ("cruiser bruiser"), and anything with wood paneling ("wood grain, feel the pain").  Sister has a silver tongue and she'd find any way she could to win a round through arguing.  If one of them yelled the wrong color it didn't count, and Sister would find some silly little way that Boyfriend had called the wrong color.  Listening to them banter was hilarious, and the maniacal grin on Sister's face was just as epic, if not better.  Sigh...even though that guy wasn't the one Sister married, we did have some good times together.  The breakup was NOT amicable, but it ended up going well for both of them, as both he and she are happily married to someone else, so that cloud has a silver lining.

Cheers,

    Love Volkswagons and Beetles are my favorite car. TJ and I built the Lego Volkswagon van, that was fun. Isn't it interesting how memories work? You are looking at a hair bow and the brand vehicle reminded you of something. I am finding that with Mom, although since she's not here - its not always fun. But it is interesting.

      Don't let go, no matter how trifling a memory it is. That'll keep your mama alive in your heart.

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
