Bleeb has his shopping cart. Must be needing several items today.

Dawgone it, and I thought it was only us, me and the missus!

Aw, isn’t Bleeb so cute with his little shopping cart. So human-like.

Just $8? Usually they’re much more.

Bleeb, that’s a shopping cart, isn’t it?

We do that!

You know, this just might catch on! But the card aisles will have to be expanded to fit all the people!

Probably an app for that now anyway…

The trouble with valentines day has nothing to do with spending to much money on your chosen. It is about not having anyone to spend money on.

I thought my wife and I were the only ones to do that. After almost 44 years why waste the money better spent on dinner the night before.

Buy a bag o’ kibble or litter for your local shelter!

We don’t celebrate any holidays sponsored by Hallmark Cards and FTD florist.

I had a computer program to make them now use my phone to take a picture of them (haha) not really

“Rose are red, Fire Trucks are red, Poems are hard, Beer.”

I can see going out to eat for Valentin’es day…IF you can get a reservation. I get my wife some of her favorite flowers..not ordered from a florist, but from certain florists inside the grocery store. And we don’t do cards or boxes of candy.

So in 2 more years I can do this also?

Next, they can take a picnic lunch and sit in the parking lot of a fancy restaurant!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all you lovely ladies!

My husband and I do this all the time; we will have been married 32 years this coming December. :)

At 7am I stopped by Publix and got stampeded by the guys heading out with their Valentine flowers.

Pluggers.

if you go to the Dollar Tree you can get 2 for a $1 and they are just as mnice as the expensive ones.

Try more like $16.00 saved….

My brother and sister-in-law have been doing that for many years.
