Gee Golly



I'm playing with the new camera - This is Gollywog. My mothers husbands parents have given Jay & I gold-toe socks for chistmas for the past 20 years. I used them to make this boy. Gollywog is apparently a racist term in Britan now. My Nanny Alice made me one from stuffed socks years ago, when it was P.C. to do so. He raised an eyebrow when I buckled him in to the passenger seat and took him to the GAP for his overalls.

I'm still exploring the cam - back later with more pics.

I love your scenic land, I love the cute goats, I love your fountain, I love Gollywog, and I love your porch. Your corner of the world looks so peaceful. Can I come be your Nana and lollygag with Gollywog for a few days? (In my world lollygag equates to being completely lazy.)

I have a sock monkey that was made from another type of socks and now I want a gollywog. Is he made entirely of socks?

Great posts, great pics, I love your house and your animals and all of it, and even your gollywog!

Mark has a sock monkey, it is the ugliest thing I have ever seen! He will NOT let it go though.

Hope your weekend is going perfectly....

Hugs, friend.
