gnome sighting at inman park

gasp! Imagine my surprise when I spotted not one, but SEVERAL gnomes at the Inman Park Festival this weekend! Here I am hanging out with one of my new friends. You can see my pictures of the other gnomes who marched in the parade here. Apparently they were attempting to set a world record for marching gnomes. You can view more pictures by Chantelle on flickr.

gaylord

Tanu and Leena came over Monday night, and I was showing off the 'army of eight' (see post below), I got to thinking... did Tanu have a g'nome of her very own? Turns out she did not! But she does NOOOWWWWWW!!! She selected this super cute guy from the new batch and approriately dubbed him 'gaylord.' Welcome to the family, Gaylord!

p.s. It is with great restraint I typed the above... how badly I wanted to say (focker) after each mention of his name... ;)

an army of eight

Was in dollar tree yesterday in search of hula hoops, when what did my wandering eyes fall upon? G'NOMES! I have searched every dt in a 200-mile radius for more g'nomes over the past 3-4 years (seriously), and was convinced they were gone forever. These little guys were the last ones, all alone, old and dirty sitting on the bottom shelf, 4/$1.00!!!

Hurrah!!!! I now have my own army of g'nomes!!! ;)

The first emperor ain't got NOTHIN on me!
