Congratulations on your win. Very Cute. I wonder what would have happened if we would have called 911. Guess we would have been killed.................

Thank you so much. Lol people call 911 for worse things like recently lantern fly infestations they actually had to tell people on the news that the bugs are a nuisance however do not call 911 to report them. Thank you Paula for your visit and kind comment :) hugs

lol thanks, i am sure he was guilty of something, the stories i could tell...he once painted me when i was two, with house paint, he fed a cousin mulch, and painted another with charcoal from the grill, he took the lighter they had in cars back when, when it was red and hot he put it on my little finger, i think i was 4 at the time...just to name a few... hugs :)
