Earth Day Challenge

Yo, check this out.




Well that's how my day started. And it just got better from there. We participated in Earth Day at Bon Secours Hospital and it was a blast. Everyone was very interested in ways to save, recycle and grow their own. Tomatoes that is. We just about gave away tomato plants along with pots filled with potting soil and a stake to tie up your tomatoes. It was a big hit. We also gave away day lilies and then sold our other plants. We had a great day and it was very rewarding. In addition we met some really great people. I hope we get asked to do it again next year.

Well I am tired and looking forward to going to bed early. I hope you enjoyed the video. As soon as I connect with the girl that organized the event, I will get some photos to post. I was so busy talking with people that I didn't have time to take photos myself. Oh and in case you couldn't tell in my video those little things I had in my hand were turtles that we got when we were in Mexico.

Have a great day,
Greg

Chicken, turtles, and Rocky!! What a combo! I think there should b a Rocky 6 staring Greg! I have to admit the Rocky theme song is powerful. I could see Sly..I mean you running with power. Yes, I do like those turtles. Maybe they would like to tell their story on B's blog.

You are just flat LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY. What will you think of next?!

And I don't think Sly would be any better than you at catching chickens these days (snicker, snicker).

Oh my, Greg, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Great video. I don't have a chicken, but I often exercise with "catch the five-year-old." :-)

Have a great weekend!

I LOVE the video!!! Go Rocky Go!!!!!!
Very funny! You've got some quick moves, and I think that chicken was scared of you.

I'd like a couple tomato plants too, also.
Do you deliver to Hot Springs?

:-)

Now, get busy and catch that chicken!

Great laugh to start out the day! Trying to catch the chicken reminded me of of our neighbor's chicken who adopted us for about 10 months. There's quite a story there. I need to post about my version of 'Henrietta' but I've been busy enjoying days out with my sister who has come down from Canada. I'll be back again. Great post!

LOL! My son watched the video with me and loved it almost as much as I did! You are a crack up (no pun intended!).

I need to buy me a chicken...one I won't eat! :)

Oh Rocky ~~ you are hil-lar-ous!!! I really think that needs to go You-Tube for the world to see.

You are one fun guy... wish we lived closer, and could watch your antics up close and personal.

Have a great weekend.

LOL:Wanda

I had read this post before without watching the video. Had more time today and I'm so happy O backtracked. That was hilarious. You had me going when you cracked the egg. I wanted to shout "NO Greg!" Too funny.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
