T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193398 Mar 18th, 2008 at 08:06 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered He arrived yesterday!! I got home from work and there he was in my mailbox. He said he was a bit chilly from being in there all day. He said that he sure was glad he wasn't here a month ago when it was -20 some days because he probably would have froze in there. We went on a few adventures right away last night. I will post pics as soon as I get home from work.

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193403 Mar 18th, 2008 at 08:19 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered Well he was alright Loz. Just a bit chilly. He did tell me that he was getting claustrophobic in that box though. I said...Willy you have been traveling in that box all along. He said....well Loz put me in there early because she said I was talking too much.

I don't know what went on there but it was really life changing for the little man.

He has been with lots of ladies during his visits though.

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193608 Mar 18th, 2008 at 06:24 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered The first thing T Willy wanted to do after he got out of my mailbox is head to our church and say lots of prayers for Cindy!! He misses Cindy very much and wishes he could be with her but he knows that she would want him to continue on his adventures so that is what he decided to do!!

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193611 Mar 18th, 2008 at 06:26 PM Jiffymouse Unregistered Jiffymouse Unregistered beautiful church jessica. i'm glad he had that chance. where else did he go?

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193612 Mar 18th, 2008 at 06:30 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered We were driving to go to the store to get some Easter stuff and we drove by this place. T Willy had me stop because he said that he had never been to a ranch before. I had to explain to him that this was actually a restaurant that serves pizza and chicken. He was a little disappointed but understood. We then headed to the store. I didn't get any pics of Willy riding in the cart at the store because I forgot the camera in the car. But...T Willy had fun there!!

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193615 Mar 18th, 2008 at 06:33 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered T Willy spotted this Jolly Green Giant on the way home from the store. He said that he had no idea I lived outside of the town that is the home of the Jolly Green Giant. Then he noticed that we had a casino not too far away! He wanted to go but I told that he would have to wait for Glenda to take him to a casino because I had to get up in the morning for work.

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193616 Mar 18th, 2008 at 06:35 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered On our way to town tonight Willy was in for a little surprise. Soon after he arrived yesterday it started raining and rained most of the night. This is what he saw on our drive in this morning.

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193617 Mar 18th, 2008 at 06:37 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered And this is the last picture for tonight. T Willy spotted some deer out in a field near our house. He said that he is used to seeing them at Cedar Hill but wanted to share them with all of you. Sorry that the picture isn't so great but it was starting to get dark and I had a hard time getting a decent picture. As you can see by this pic...most of the snow that we had last night melted through the day today.

Yes he was pretty excited about the Jolly Green Giant. We have a few of those around town so maybe he will get to see the rest of them.

Re: T Willy is making his appearance in Minnesota! #193628 Mar 18th, 2008 at 07:10 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered Tristen thinks he is pretty cool. He was laughing at me when I was taking the pictures. I will make sure to get a pic of Tristen and T Willy together. Yeah he was disappointed about not going to the casino but I told him that Glenda was his next stop and she would take him. He was alright after that.
