Bobby, John, David & Tammy E. ~ Thank you for your kind comments! I really appreciate them all! Have a great week! :) #10128112Laura E. Swan May 07, 2012
Makes me wish I was a tadpole. What a place to grow up and live! This is very beautiful, Sis! :D-Lala #10128508

You don't really mean that, do you Sis? Tadpoles grow up to be frogs ... and frogs just hop around and say "Ribbit"! Ha! Ha! You could always grow up and live in a place like this ... and not be a Tadpole! LOL! Thanks for your fun comment, Laura Lala! :) #10134733Laura E. Swan May 12, 2012
I have a secret to tell you. I have collected frogs all of my life. I have an extensive collection and a very special bond to them. If we ever talk by phone again I will tell (show) you why! :))) HA! Now let that be the mystery of the day!-Sis :D Ribbit Ribbit! #10134754

I think my niece (from our other sister) used to collect them too! ... Never knew why she did it either! She must have taken after you! Ha! Ha! :) I think maybe you're secretly hoping that one of those frogs will turn into a handsome prince! ... but just look in the kitchen, and you'll see that you already have one! ;) #10134764Laura E. Swan May 12, 2012
My prince lays on the couch imitating a potato. I have no idea what he would turn into if I kissed him. But I do have this one frog in the kitchen window that shows promise...Well let me take a photo and show you....I'll be right back. #10134779Lorna Shutter May 12, 2012
LOL! I think there's a couch potato in every house! I wouldn't try kissing yours though ... he might turn into a frog! ... but then, if he kisses you, you might turn into a Tadpole ... which is what you wanted in the first place! Ha! Ha! :D #10134786Laura E. Swan May 12, 2012

Ha! Ha! Yep, this Frog has potential!!! ... and if worse comes to worse, ... at least you know he can cook! LOL! :D #10134789Laura E. Swan May 12, 2012
RIGHT! My potato can't cook worth beans. Not too many years ago he asked me where we keep the silverware...if this gives you a clue. 27 years of marriage later!He sure has a mean thumb when it comes to that "channel selector" however...you know...that thing that I'd have to pry from his hand if I ever tried to use it!
HeeHee!
You know I'm just joking about my potato, Sis. He's the greatest. Why, just the other day he let me watch a half hour show I wanted to watch.
Now THAT is LOVE!
