"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
I don't remember the name it some kind of succulent that blooms yellow flowers,, IT has spread everywhere,, I'll have to go look at my Notes to find out the name,, I think I sent you some a while back Jiffy didn't I?? BTW One Hand Kicked it out of the way before someone tripped on it!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
that big one to the very right looks like the gnome from the tavelocity commercial to me!
OHHHHHHHHH My Toposh... GrandPooBah wouldn't like hearing that! He said that gnome is a sell out,, He makes a lot of $$ and keeps it for him self,, while there are sooo many Willy Villages that could use help with their needs,, not enough gnomes have homes,, The travelocity gnome has enough $$$$ to gift gnomes with homes and doesn't .
You should read the entire set of stories of the Willy Village,, Then you'll understand their personalities, and roles they have in their village! :wink:

Im sorry diane tell grandpoobah im sorry and that from further and closer review of the photo that I take back what I said and offer him an apology, let me know if he accepts it!
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
yes, yes I do--perhaps you could get them to "gnome promise" to behave themselves while you are working. Perhpas they could take some activity to "occupy" themselves with--so they would not be tempted to get into any mischief???

Diane - I'm soooooooooo happy to see that you are continuing your marvelous Willy stories! Can't wait to read all about TW's visit there!
Jiffy - I have some of that sedum too, and I never take my sedum indoors for winter, and they've survived so far, and we're much colder here than where you are. (crossing fingers here now!!!)

GrandPooBah has a good and Happy Soul Toposh,, He said an apology isn't neccessary,, , as that is a common mistake of Humans that don't know gnomes well. He ask if you've read the Christmas Story of the Willy Village,, He really believes you'll like the stories and Music videos, that I posted for them in the last Thread,, ( Willy Village continues thread) He also said to tell you he's glad your reading this,, because he wants all young people to get to know gnomes, and the joy they will bring you with their stories, music, magic, and mystery!

Lynne I couldn't not write about this visit ,, One Hand is especially excited because he's been to Cedar Hill himself, and knows the of the magic there, so to have a visitor from Washington has just about made him burst with happiness!
Maybe I should give One Hand a glass of milk before I take him to work tomarrow if it soothes T Willy maybe it will calm One hand!

I just got through reading every gnome story that was availiable to read from u diane! they are wonderful and i read the comments to and i definitly think when you get the chance to write them into books! When my neice gets old enough to read i hope you might have some out by then, if not ill just bring her in here and read them to her! i think it would be a good thing to teach her how to read reading these storeis! their amazing! lol i just love little mystical! And i even took some notes while I was reading!
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
no problem i enjoyed reading them sooo much! i wish you wouldve had these out when i was learning how to read my grandma taught me to read by makeing me read cat in the hat one fish 2 fish 3 fish blue fish that was a hard book to learn i got tounge twisted alot where were u diane! where were you lol but honostly i wish i wouldve had these...

I know right?? I still have my kids's One fish , two fish, and other Dr. Suess Books,, and Yep they can tie up the tongue alright for little ones,, But your grandmother did a good thing,, Books that were fun and difficult made learning a little more pleasant..
Where was I??? Reading one fish two fish to my kids
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
when my youngest was in 1st grade we all got One fish 2 fish for free in the mail--it was a promo book to get the parents to buy all the rest. Hopefully I still have it here somewhere.
I say hopefully because my oldest taught 2nd grade for 5 years & likely "borrowed" most of my books like that for her " teachers library".
if it is one thing I bought when my kids were small it was books---
perhpas you could print out the stories and we could put the pages in sheet protectors and then into little 1/2 inch thick binders. Then they could be kept for the future generations of "willie lovers"

I just lovvvvvvvvvvvvvve Dr. Seuss books - I used to read them ALL THE TIME when I taught pre-school - loved to animate them too! Don's favorite one is One Fish Two Fish - I don't think I have a favorite really.
Oh, and I got to meet Dr. Seuss and have about 4 books autographed by him. He was pretty old then - back in 1986 - and the line was around the store. I was in the beginning of the line, and his people pushed me along very quickly. But I was thrilled to be able to see him in person!
Can't wait to hear how TW and One Hand did at work today!!!
As you all know I took One hand and Traveling Willy to work with me today,, One Hand,,,,,, OMG He is soooooooo silly! I had just finished waxing up a Full Arch Upper Denture for a patient to view. I left the room for a few minutes,, which I guess gave One Hand the Green light to go exploring,, talk about putting his foot in his mouth,,!
Traveling Willy was shocked to see One Hand playing with my work!
Traveling Willy Heard my voice and must have known I wasn't far away and was headed back into the room,, He turned and told One Hand "'She's Coming !"
You'd better get your foot outta that mouth!
Dangggggggggg One hand!!!!! your hat messed up the wax in the palate, now I have to do it again!
Of course One Hand apologized, and sat quietly as he watched me rewax the palate. One Hand just gets over excited,, remember when he fell in the salsa at the restaurant when we visited CedarHill?? ..
Before Traveling willy Leaves, there will be a gathering of all the willys in the village and pictures will be taken!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
The Willy Village says goodbye to Traveling Willy In the morning ,, It's been great having a visitor over winter,, that's an extreme rare treat!!
Traveling Willy and Gif have been walking around together most the evening,, remember Gif he came back with me from Cedar Hill? ... Anyway,, Gif and T Willy are talking with the young Fairys, and are telling them of the fairy garden in Cedar Hill,, and when they are old enough and have learned all they can they should go see CedarHill's fairy garden,, it is a fairys dream to leave in that garden.
everyone gathered together to listen to Johnny play his harmonica,, so I took that opportunity to get a group picture. :wink: It's kinda hard to get everyone in the picture,, the Village is really growing,, But they are all there,, I and the Willy Village hope to see you again T Willy! It was a pleasure for us to have you visit, Thank you for coming to the Rock Tower Willy Village!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Oh come on diane thats mean you should no how curios i am by now! lol i dont want to wait.... Im still waiting for my happy meal to if your reading this carol!
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
The Rock tower got a message from Traveling Willy tonight!
He's fine,, No problems and well on his way,, having a great time with soooo many things to see,, He's Glad One Hand gave him a heavy jacket because the nights are getting colder, and he wants Angelblossom to tell Toposh,, "Please be patient, the joy of surprise and adventure is what this gnome's Travels is all about . At least in this stretch of his travels!
How did we hear from him you ask???
Well for you humans that don't know,, gnomes can communicate thru telepathy.
All the lights of the Village came on, and at the top of the tower stood Lamppost Willy.
When his lamp post began to blink and change colors communication was going on! Cool isn't it!! .............. Click on picture! :wink:
gnomes are very patient and hope you all will be patient in where he's going next to visit : in respect that Traveling Willy wants to have a great adventure full of mystery and surprises. This is the first time he has ever done anything like this and is long overdue.
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Fine ill wait because t willys patient ill have to be too even no matter how much i dont want to wait. ill stop, lol but monday we should knwo right, lol.
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
Thanks Diane to you and to Everyone in the Willy Village for the beautiful Valentine. I wish everyone there in the village and their Human friend a very Happy Valentine's day as well. :ding: :ding:
and I agree with Dodge---you are so creative!!!

OH< Diane,---there is a question here for you......
I just saw this today Carol :wink: and funny you should ask Sheri!
Wendy sent me a wonderful box of gifts.....
This was on the outside of the box!
In the box was a Fairy Queen's Throne she created! She also wrote me a very nice letter and asked me to show the Willy village the letter as opposed to them being able to use telepathy, we have to wait on messages .. willy's get them as soon as they think
So to fulfill Wendy's request,, I showed them the letter and the fairy's throne!
as you can see the Throne Chair and Secret Orb is beginning to set up possible story in the future,, maybe this spring something very special will happen for the village !! :wink:
GrandPooBah was thrilled to see the Throne,, as he hadn't seen one in over 100 years, he is delighted the Willy Village has been gifted with it, and just as the secret orb has blessed the Village so shall this Throne!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Soooooo glad they loved it! I thought it would be a perfect addition! What did they think of getting a letter by "snail mail"? I told them that is how we humans communicated before the modern age of the internet!
Yep that's what I told the Willy Village it was the Fairy Queen's Septor!! The Willy's think we humans waste a lot of time and human money having to send letters and messages thru so many different peoples hands just to hear from a friend,, and that maybe we should try the power of telepathy,, but seeings how willys are born with it and we aren't it may take a few hundred years to get the hang of it!

Do you know what I'm thinking?
I don't have a clue Sheri you nut!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Today a new fairy came to live in the gardens of my back yard I showed her around and then took her to the Rock Tower Willy Village, She was in awe at all the gnomes in so many sizes ,, She thinks the wee willys are adorable,, and was happy to met each one! In this picture she is saying to them she'll visit the village often and will share some recipes with them this spring and she blows them a kiss and says see you later,, and off she goes to find her own comfy spot in the flower gardens to make her home,, :wink:
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Ohhhhhh Diane - that fairy is sooo sweet!!! I love the position she's in, and her wings!!! WOW! And her hair, and the shape of her skirt - CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!
Here she is trying out different areas to call her own,,
Rock garden sitting area
around the tree
I told her in a couple of more weeks there will be a wider choice to choose from ,,,, spring is just beginning here and there will be plenty of flowers and places to frolic and fly
After I took this picture I thought her face looked kinda like Loz!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
She is quite the perfect addition to the village & to your yard.
Diane, could you tell me what the name of the white daisy like flower is that is there at the base of your tree?? i love it--- (the one with the deep purple centers)
________
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
How tall is the fairy? Aren't you scared doggies will kick it over? YOu sure have a fancy yard there.
Thanks for sharing with Adora
She is 14 inches tall,, and No Emmy my dog doesn't go in the rock garden sitting area at all,, and she doesn't go in the flower beds ,, that I know of anyway,,, Your welcome,, Adora is just the very fairy I needed this spring,,! :wink:
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
I love the new fairy Diane! I can't believe all the flowers that you have blooming there! It is nice to see some pretty flowers right now!! I also love the white flower with the blue center. Very pretty!!
The Willy Village, and their fairy friend Adora Spring, sends all their love and get well wishes with the most positive thoughts to Cindy ,, :ding:
They're hearts were heavy and spirits were low,, especially One Hand runn'in Willy and Gif , Rapp ,Lampost Willy, and Spotlight Willy Adora told them gently and sweetly " Oh Dear New Friends,, Don't have heavy hearts, because it will interfere with the good wishes being sent to her, and she needs positive energy as that will become a spark to her spirit to continue fighting to overcome!!" Of course one Hand runnin' Willy was beside Adora and added to the pep talk,," Yeahhhhh,, what she said, Come on Everybody!!! Be Positive,, we'll all take baby steps with Miss Cindy day by day ............. [b]Yipeeeeeee I can stop running for a while ,, Hey..... I think I'm gonna like this baby steps thing!" [/b]
Silly One Hand :wink: Gotta' love him
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
Angelblossom, Weasley has a little Gnome mate that would like to come visit and possibly take up residence at Willy Village. Can you pm me an address for him to come to?

My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.
Sure Memosa,, We love new Comers and visitors here,, rarely do we have visitor that Just visits they usually end up staying. Matter of fact I believe T Willy and Rosewood were the only two that traveled onward and Both ended up at Cedar Hill
