Calling All Sherlocks and Other Friday Frags

.

It's Friday, albeit Friday night which is par for my course, so LET'S FRAG!!! With titles tonight.

Calling All Sherlocks!!!

This afternoon, right while I was all bundled up in my new Bucky Blankie snoozing, the doorbell rang.

I tried to hop up and act like I'd been "busy" around the house - - - but I think the blankie trailing between my feet would have been a dead give-away as to what I had actually been doing.

I hurried to open the door only to find no one there. I glanced around and there was a large package. Goodness!!! This has been the week for receiving packages around here - - - this makes #4, but that's part of another story.

I brought the package in and tried to decipher what it was and whom it was for from the exterior of the box.

Fisherhubby immediately tried to claim it. He was sure it would be baits and tackles from Cabela's.

I pointed out that it had MY name on it.

He said he was ordering his fishing supplies in my name these days.

Right. 'Cause you know, I USE those baits and tackles soooooooo much.

I opened that box and found a traveler had hitched a ride on the inside. (Makes me sing - - - "ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride - - -)

See the little traveler up there on the washstand??? Let's take a closer look:


He's a brand new "king" come to live with all the others in my collection.

Do you see what is SPECIAL about this one???? Oh just look at his hat!!! He's a Wisconsin Bucky Badger King!!!

But who in this wide world SENT him to me????

I searched all the packaging to no avail.

This is where YOU, all my dear little Sherlocks, come in. Let me show you the clues that I procured and let's see if we can figure this mystery out before Watson loses his mind!

Clue #1: I've been posting about my King Collection during the holidays. I think whomever sent this king got the idea from reading this blog.


Clue #2: The address on the invoice is BIGFLY SPORTS from North Bergen, NJ. I know at least TWO bloggy friends from New Jersey.

"I TOLD you it was fishing stuff for ME!" Shouted FH. "I'm a FLY fisherman!!!"

"Pipe down, you're NOT fishing with my nutcracker!!!"


Clue #3: The shipping label on the outside of the box. Can you see the shipping address up there???

Here, let me enlarge it for you:


The Memory Company, Phenix City, ALABAMA!!!

Oh goodness, I have several bloggy buddies from Alabama ALL of whom know my propensity to shout and cheer and dress crazy for my Bucky Badgers.

So, Sherlocks, WHO sent me this wonderful surprise???

Nope, I really don't know.

Piper Time!!!

Here she is, Miss Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice with her mama.

When LAST we saw her a week ago in those frags, she had been banished to eat alone in the kitchen.

Looks like little Miss Diva has morphed back into the precious little girl we all know she really is.


And speaking of precious - - - here she is after having been knocked out by the infamous "reading" tranquilizer.

Notice, she's sleeping with "Tick Tock" her gator pillow pal which Kamma and Papoo gave her in August.


Still sweet and sportin' ONE granny clip-on earring, which she was determined to wear no matter how painful.

Pretty young to already realize that there is little beauty without much pain.

Disclaimer: The clip on earrings and other jewelry goodies did NOT come from me, the girls got those from their paternal great grandmother. I've never worn a clip-on in my LIFE except when I played certain characters in plays and skits.

Delivery Number One This Week

I was at work when delivery #1 arrived this week. And just lookey!!! More DeBrand fine chocolates!!! (Go check out their page, there's a monthly give-away you can click to join!!!)


This time they are from Daughter #2 and are for BOTH Fisherhubby and me.

I can't hog all these to myself.

I asked.

Korie says I HAVE to share.

More's the pity!!



I guess it's just as well I HAVE to share, 'cause by the time I got home from work, SOMEONE had already had his grubby little fingers in the box!!!

There IS More than Fishing in Hubby

Fisherhubby got out his paints this week and whipped out a delightful barn for me.

I just gotta wait to let it dry before I can get it framed.

You don't HAVE that whole drying wait thing with photographs.

Please head on over to Mrs. 4444's place
And check out all the Friday Fragments.
