The box Arrived.
It had been lost for almost a week.
The mailman delivered him to the wrong
address and he finally caught up with me.
I found this precious green box
when I opened the brown box.
Then I saw this.
Look at all the little snowflakes.
I guess it is a good thing he was
packed inside with snowflakes,
as he was certainly HOT when
I opened the box.
And out he hopped.
He said, "Oh my gosh,
do you know it is 116 degrees today?"
Where on earth am I?
Roamy, I said, you have came
to visit the desert, here in Phoenix.
He stretched his little legs, wiped
his brow, and said where is the
pool? Lordy, Lordy is it ever hot.
We decided a swim was in order.
He tried out the swimming goggles.
To BIG, he decided to rough it.
Hang on Mom, wait until you see this:
Roamy learned to float on his back.
He is so proud. Can't wait to show you.
Roamy learned that saguaro cactus
are really large. They also have sharp
thorns that stick you, if you aren't careful.
are really large. They also have sharp
thorns that stick you, if you aren't careful.
He thought the golden barrel cactus were pretty.
But gosh, they stick you too. It is 7pm and it is
still 113 degrees. Roamy is ready to go back inside.
We're getting ready for the 4th of July.
I can't wait. Fireworks....
Now if I only knew what fireworks were.
Roamy will be here in Phoenix
through Monday, July 4th.
through Monday, July 4th.
He is traveling around the world,
and has to go back home
and has to go back home
in February 2012.
His Mom is keeping a record of his
His Mom is keeping a record of his
travels at the following blog:
Karen @ The Roaming Gnome.
If you would be interested in hosting
Roamy for a visit, please email me.
I will be sending him along to his
next home on Tuesday, July 5th.
Karen would like for him to see all that
he can see. She has maps of the homes
he has visited on her website, and let's
keep him moving.
As always,
thank you for stopping by,
my little piece of heaven,
here in the desert,
that I so love to call home.
With all that heat, Roamy is hot to trot! Roamy is a hottie, Roamy is a hottie! Careful with the cactus!
ReplyDeleteWow, Roamy is a brave guy between the pool and cactus. I don't blame him for wanting to stay in the pool in that heat. It's a hot heat not a humid heat, correct? We get the humid kind. Cute post Sherry!
ReplyDeletePoor Roamy...lost in the mail...dadgum post office.
ReplyDeleteWhoops...I work for the post office.
Dadgum post office.
Stay cool, Roamy!
Oh wow.. Roamy... I spent way too many summers in Phoenix without a swimming pool. You were one lucky gnome to have ended up at a house with a pool. Hope you get the heck out of that place soon though.. summers there go on and on and on and on and on... well, you get my drift.
ReplyDeleteI just know that Roamy will have so much fun with Sherry and she'll make sure he stays cool! Maybe she'll have to buy him one of those little hand fans! lol He's such a brave lad, standing in between those longggg cactus needles. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Karen Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteYou must come and see Roamy. You are going to have a fit. He is on the move again, he is on his way to Maryland, and then he has a trip to Illinois and it appears then on to California. Everyone wanted him, once they read my post, so we kind of made out an itinerary for him.
Hurry over and find out about his wonderful 4th of July. He loved it, and such exciting news for you. He is not traveling alone.
Thank you for sharing him with me. It has been a wonderful time with this little guy. Many hugs from Phoenix, Sherry
