Anyone want to play "Traveling Garden Gnome"

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

You didn't have to do that, but I do like that one better. You are a whiz with that Photo program! LOL! So, was Dave the real name then?

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

Oh thats a shame, she would have loved it! But Prince Charming is good too! Nive to meet you!

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

I just like to have fun, no matter what I'm doing. Yep, my name is David "Shadow" Paige. Shadow was a name given to me in College. I have a 5-oclock shadow at Noon.

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

Cool nickname!

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

Having fun is definately better than the alternative! I am already planning Staynot's itinerary. My husbands says I am certifiable(sp?) LOL but I have fun!!

South Venice, FL(Zone 9b)

Nice to know Prince Charming is sponsoring Staynot's launch into the real world!

Cute picture Shadow-Dave!

I wonder if Staynot is playing in PA now, enjoying a big Philly steak & cheese sub?

Think she could take him to see Billy Joel, isn't he a Philly Boy?

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

I just tracked him on the USPS which doesn't give ETA's but I think he should be there tomorrow.

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

Did y'all ever decide on the length of visits? I'm trying to decide where to take him. Most of our festivals take place in the fall, so I'm looking at Galveston, maybe a trip on the Elisa! and Nasa and maybe the Zoo. I told my DH he should take him fishing on the boat, you should have seen the look I got...

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

I think we should try to stick to a week but if there is something you think he should come along to. Then go ahead and keep him for a few more days.

Any objections?

What pirate where? What picture? Here I've gone and joined a new group and Jojo is already causing me trouble. I want a pirate gnome!!!!! That is okay everyone, just wait until he gets to Havana!!!! He will be well taken care of, that is for sure! Might have to sit in on a Spring Garden Festival planning meeting. I can see the look on the nurseryman's faces now--LOL They will get over it!!!!!

Good thing I'm blonde/grey as I am throughly confused. Let me see now: Shadowpaige is of the male gender? He was dressed like a pirate and then took the picture down? Why?? I loveeeeeeeeee pirates. Prince Charmingis one and the same as the former pirate? 'ain't nice to play around with boggled minds!!

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

LOL you are soo much fun Marion ^_^

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

It's sleeping on that pi........nope lips are sealed shut!

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

You are SUCH a tease. *pouting*

San Francisco Bay Ar, CA(Zone 9b)

This looks like so much fun (thanks for posting a link Joey)! Can I join in?

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

Nope even pouting won't unseal my lips.

Is your hubby an understanding man Jojo? Inquiring minds want to know.

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

Yay Sunny is here, the gnome gets to visit the froggie. For those of you who don't know Sunny is our resident frog wrangler. She has quite the little herd!

LOL usually he is pretty understanding.. LOL depends, what you got in mind?

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

Me? have a mind? Surely you jest!! Oh nuttin' honey.

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

LOL (nervously)

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

nervously? Why do you think sweet 'lil ole me would do something unseemly? Never.

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

LOL I bet!! Define unseemly LOL....

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

Ebay has a lot of cuties. I got several new ones the last time the gnomes were traveling. Just a thought.

Santee, CA(Zone 9a)

Can I play?? I have a couple gnomes that would love to meet Staynot

This is a cool thread Joey.... yet another "nut" following you and Sunny ;o)

Eugene, OR

I wanna play too! Add me to the list please.

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

Yay! Staynot is going on quite the vacation!He should be hitting Philly any time now right?

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

The more the merrier. By the time he gets to Florida he will be really happy!!! We will have sun!!!!!!

(Kim) Philadelphi, PA(Zone 6a)

Oh no, his Daddy sent him away with broken legs? Love him up and take good care of him. My gnome is getting very excited at the possibility of having company!! He's cleaning out his little house to make room for Staynot.

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

I guess his feet are killing him! Must have walked a long way to be in that shape!! He will need to put his feet up for a rest for sure before site seeing in the garden. Glad he did arrive though!

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

Does he get sick leave on your time? LOL

scio, oregon, OR(Zone 8a)

OMG!!! He should have purchased traveler's insurance!

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

o dear. Get well soon Staynot. Hi all. We're sending "Dave" on the "Great Canadian Garden Tour" thanks to your group's great idea. Dave may send Staynot a postcard of his most excellent adventures too ^_^

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

Oh my we have 2 travelers? Dave and Staynot? Take good care of Dave. Poor Staynot has an injury but Mommy Kim will take good care of him, I am sure.

Calgary, AB(Zone 3a)

Abbis we're already discussing travel insurance for Dave LOL. The totally hilarious thing is that Dave is probably going to see more of Canada than the rest of us have come close to.

(Marion) Havana, FL(Zone 8b)

I was just reading your thread. What a riot! Well I think that is typical--I've lived in Florida most all of my life and have never been to Silver Springs. Live just 35 miles from it and still didn't go.

Are you going with the gnome, beaver or Moose? I have a Canadian moose! Gift from my family who lives in Ingersoll and London. No, I'm southern, long story.
