"A recent trip to Florida had me noticing Manatee mailboxes and even a dolphin one. Evidently I was in better environs as no REALLY good yard art presented it's self. However I did spy this little gem set up in the Melbourne FL International airport."
don't hate me because I am beautiful
I am pretty sure this is Gold Manatee's MeMaw
I know my MeMaw has a similar outfit but a little less tasteful.
Fantasy Yard Art Results:
Drawing results for the lovely Thelma and Louise
Diane for "brotha from anotha mutha"
a gnome can only take so much humiliation...
Even manatees have meemaws. And meemaws don't care what other people think!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Diane. I'm sure she'll give Thelma and Louise a great home!
MeeMaw with lovely shells. Hey Life's Highway get her hat for the trip!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Diane! A road trip for Thelma and Louise.
Reminds me of Miss Piggy.
ReplyDeleteMorningGlory, you are exactly right. One day when I am a MeMaw it will be glorious.
ReplyDeleteTufa Girl, I am really liking the hat.
gwgt, Memaw does have a Miss Piggish way about her without the sex appeal.
I am so glad there are shells affixed. What a modest Memaw she is.
ReplyDeleteRosey, good thing the shells are glued down because you can never tell with Memaws.
ReplyDeleteThe irony with the Roo reference from Winnie-the-Pooh is that the real life Christopher Robin lost Roo in an orchard and he was never found again. Now we know what happened.
ReplyDeleteSusan, (I am still looking for a great hat, btw) I never knew the real little Roo was lost. I feel so sad...dang gnomes.
ReplyDeleteThe manatee is pretty cute! I found an Armadillo (posted yesterday) but did not bring him home with me!
ReplyDeleteWeekend Cowgirl, too bad the armadillo was pricey be I would have been tempted. I could have given it to Memaw. She has all kinds of stuff in her yard.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Diane on winning Thelma & Louise.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice hat on the Manatee, I can see why it is so coveted. Also, I am liking (and appreciative) of the strategic placement of the Starfish.
Yeah my kids liked the starfish placement as well. I saw it as soon as I landed and thought "gotta get a picture of THAT on the way out for Life's Highway" It was infinitely more interesting than the space suit they had on display also.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK, the Manatee Grandma would say "Does my bum look big in this ... collection of shells ? "
ReplyDeleteWinnie, the starfish are classic. Thank you so much of thinking of us on your vacation!
ReplyDeleteb-a-g, I am going to start saying bum. I wonder how long it will be before someone notices. I wonder if you can say "my bum is sore from the ride" in a southern accent and still be taken seriously?
Karen, I could pull off the hat but not the starfish. MeMaw does it very well, though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Diane!
ReplyDeleteWinnie, you were in my "growing up" town! Not birth town (that's in upstate NY) but where I lived from childhood through college. Good old Melbourne, FL! We lived about 3 miles from the airport, and watched it grow from a little airport where you walked out to the planes to the biggie it is now. Although when I lived there, there was no manatee meemaw inside!
Oops - it's hailing - I think I'll go watch the storm.
I like MeeMaw's starfish pasties. I would think a manatee of that size would have bigger boobies.
ReplyDeleteMom L - That is one giant airport - all 5 gates. I didn't have to wait in line at security and the TSA guy chased my kids down and gave them stickers, honestly it was the most pleasant airport security experience I've ever had, though my husband was sent through the whole body scanner, I guess they were checking to see if he was smuggling starfish pasties.
ReplyDeleteNo, you cannot say "bum" with a southern accent and be laughed at. If your a proper southern lady you say "reeerre" or "Beeeeehiiind" Trust I've tried to say bum, it comes out sounding like "bomb" Hey when your an Arky transplanted to Wisconsin you learn what you sound like. Unfortunately I'm still picked out quickly.
Mom L, you have so much natural talent, you are a yard art reporter waiting to blossom. Look at the fertile grounds of your hometown.
ReplyDeleteLin, MeeMaw has always been sensitive about her A-cup
Winnie, you are exactly right, we say beeeehiinnd. But I thought bum would be more fancy-like.
Winnie - we thought it was huge! Of course, for many years I lived near Atlanta airport...yuck! My folks lived in Melbourne until about 10 years ago. I had some really nice experiences with security when I flew back for visits. Mom and Dad were so close to the airport that Mom picked me up one evening (after Dad was gone) in her nightgown, bathrobe and slippers!
ReplyDeleteLH - you keep trying to capture me! Any photographic talent in my family skipped from my Dad to Diane - I was overlooked. At least I don't cut off heads as my Mom always did....
And I'm still giggling over the woman in "Calendar Girls" who said she'd pose for nude photos as long as they didn't show any "front bottoms"!! Fabulous movie that I highly recommend.
i'm so sad memaw isn't wearing a thong. and she must be new bc i have frequented the melbourne airport for years and would have totally remembered that.
ReplyDeleteps- STFU i finally won something?! so excited for thelma and louise! :)
ps- i just saw the roamy blog. i want him here. now.
ReplyDeleteMom L, I have never seen Calendar Girls, I need to rent it. Greeting you at the airport in nightgown, slipper and robes is classic Memaw behavior.
ReplyDeletediane, no one wants to see a sea cow in a thong. Yep you won. Send me your address. I want the Roaming gnome too, I am trying to court him in for a visit.
Diane, congratulations on the win.
ReplyDeleteThe manatee reminds me of someone or maybe the outfit does. I'm not quite sure. :confused: Either way, it's a scary though that I know someone resembling meemaw.
Bom, we all know a Memaw.
