Omigosh, Ginny. You and Phil are a total riot and it really pays off in a big way. Roscoe is totally cool and will very much appreciate being appreciated.
Well, it never hurts to ask, or knock. Roscoe is quite a find and I'm sure he is going to love his new home. I agree with Annie that he is totally cool.
That is hilarious! Glad you got a nice rooster out of it.
No knocking for me ;-)
HI Ginny! I love Roscoe! He must make you smile everyday. I think it's very cool that you guys just go right up and ask. My style is to drive slowly back and forth and gawk like a stalker. In the end, it probably makes the homeowner nervous, and I never get any information. Your way is better.
I've been catching up on you previous blogs. Love the gigantic glasses, and I'm so sad that I missed seeing the pink piano! I'll bet that was a sight to see!
Oh my gosh....I just came from a blog and read about his post on losing his mother and her funeral...all to the point of bawling. Then, I come here to pay you a visit, and get a joyful fun post about those embarrassing knocks on doors of strangers------and you come up with a rooster weather vane in your back seat!!!
I love it!! And thanks, Ginny, for getting me out of my previous blog visit funk. You made my day.
WALKING IN SUNSHINE is my Wednesday Link.
What a great story! I'm sure you'll give him a good home:)
That is so funny, Ginny! I'm sure that lady was so happy you stopped by!
I hope Roscoe enjoys his new home!
Perfect verse for it. :)
Just when I think I "know" you and Phil, another interesting thing pops up!! I wonder if another blogger might have taken a photo of you, Phil and the rooster (sitting in the back seat I assume) driving up Rt. 11. I'm shaking with laughter.
Best,
Bonnie
LOL! I love this story! I can just 'see' your son slinking down in the back seat (we did a thing or two that caused some slinking, too).
Roscoe is quite handsome! I'm glad he has found a home with someone who appreciates him! blessings ~ tanna
Gotta hand it to you for bravery. This is one large chicken and colorful.
too cute!
lol....I love that you guys feel so free to knock on doors. That is very cool and love that rooster. Only ten bucks. Wow.
OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!! i am ROFL really i am, so are the photos in your yard at your house? you really did buy the rooster? did you name it Chicken Little, even though it is Chicken BIG... i can't stop laughing that you went up to the door and the lady sold it to you. you must be kin to my mother, she would have killed to have the rooster, and i am with the lady that sold it to you. i also would be hiding in the floor boards. we have now found one thing we are not alike in. i have never knocked on a strangers door for anything. i agree with Annie, you are a riot and so is this post.
I am rolling on the floor laughing especially about your son. I can just picture this. And see what you got for your curiosity. Hugs. LJ
Well...I think Roscoe is adorable!
Good for you and Phil. You just never know what opportunities await, if only we will have the courage to ask. Glad that Roscoe has found a new home where he can be loved!
Blessings Ginny.
shug
hahaha...serious?? You all bought the rooster for $10? hahaha.. really, both of you really are sporting! So imagine the cock cuckoo... each morning.. :)
I think I'd go hiding too, I'm with Sandra on this one ;) I'd love to take a photo of it but not buy it. What's it made of, fabric? I'm guessing your "girls" probably love it though - am I right?
I like the photo in your header:) I like the verse also, but sometimes we ask and it is not God's will. I would love for the Lord to heal me physically of the pain in which we are searching for an answer. I also prayed the Lord would heal my mom of ALS, and it was not His will. He knows what is best for us.....And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose:)
This gave me the gift of laughter this a.m. The teenaged mortification, the disgruntled wife and of course my mental image of you and Phil happily transporting Roscoe to his new home.
I for one got your $10 worth and then some. The verse was welcomed lagniappe!
You never now what will happen if only you ask. LOL I love the verse,too often we don't get because we are afraid to ask.
It really does pay to ask questions sometimes. Funny story and cool rooster!
Good for you! I'd say he's a cool rooster!
I'm sure Roscoe likes his new home. I'm glad neither you nor Phil are shy about knocking.
I just love the things you find! Why not ask....
Well, if you don't ask...you two are a riot!
My kids were mortified if I even talked to a store clerk :)
You see, there are always opportunities for people who take initiative.
Greetings,
Filip
It is so adorable, Ginny! I love the rooster's happy face and bright colors. I'm sure your grand daughter will be excited to see it at your house ..and who knows...you may get a few people knocking on your door asking where you found it!
GOOD FOR YOU! You are Phil are the greatest. Love that story. And Roscoe.
My son used to hide in the car too!
sandie
What a fun story!
That is so funny. I can just imagine your sun slinking down in the back seat (a teenagers nightmare) I wonder if he will ever do something like this to embarrass his own kids...lol
I love that you stopped and asked and it's so cool that they sold it to you. It is quite unique
Good way to meet new folks and make a contact! Can't hurt to ask - if the answer is no, nothing lost! That's a great looking rooster - if one loves that sort of stuff. I wouldn't know where to put him! Blessings!
Oh, he is lovely!
Ginny, you do have a fun, interesting life! Keeps you young!!
I'm glad we can ask, seek and find anything within God's will for us . . . and the Father does know best!
Hi Ginny, That is cool! I like all kinds of whirly gigs, streamers, flags, kites and so forth. Great to see the results of a knock on a friendly door. Have a great day tomorrow!
HAHA! Ginny that is so funny!! Gary will knock on doors too... not me (yikes!)
$10? I would've given Roscoe to you if it were mine..
So do you have him guarding your home?
You need to change your blog title to the Adventures of Ginny and Phil... lol. LOVED THIS!
This is sooo great! I don't normally knock on doors, but I could be talked into it. So glad it worked out for everyone! Is that Roscoe and hubby at home or at the people's house? Love it! I asked my husband if he would do this for me and he said yes. :) Your life is never boring!
I did something similar and came home with a beautiful flower cart that now sits in my Sweet Memories garden!
Oh what fun lives you lead, Ginny! If I had the rooster and you came calling, I think I'd sell it too! Mwah-hahaha.
Hilarious and good for you!!
Wish I had that much nerve.
Great tail on the rooster.
