Oh Diane, this is such a great story!!!!
Children would be laughing, and picking favorites,
and crying....as I am!!!!

Hi Grand Poobah Willy. I'm getting ready to order invite your whole clan to my store, in all different sizes & outfit colors!!
Medics are standing by for hand retrieval duty.

that was awsome diane! so sorry runnin willy lost his hand, i hope they can find it for him.

Awww Diane, how cute your Willys are. Love Poobah Willy. Your stories are clever and I agree with Shirley, you need to write children's books, they would sell like hotcakes!

Your story brought tears to my eyes but I'm sure all your Willys will be okay, and thanks to you! We look for more, more additions and stories. Love your little village you set up for them too.

Oh My gosh What a busy day it was today!!

The willys and I had much to do adding soils and mulch and repairing the Willy Village and the recreation area for playing cards and checkers .. sad to say we never found running willys hand but it may show up still??

The Keeper of the light Willy is back on his nightly stand proudly doing his job!


There were more rocks to chip away at to hold it in place should another storm blow thru,, and Grand Poobah Willy is pleased with all the work done today


There are still a few cosmetic adjustments to be made ,, But over all the Willy Village/Rock tower is on solid
ground!

Oh Diane, you and all the Willies have done a great job, and put in a lot of hard work!!
Except for the injury to Running Willy, you would never know a storm had caused such havoc!!
A search-and-rescue party needs to be sent out to find Willies hand; sounds like a job to be headed up by your grandsons?!

Heyyy good idea Shirley!!

looks great diane!

OK....time to build some more out there!!

Okay Shirley!! I'm working on a new additon , just need to get some more materials!!

Once you get some more materials and build some more, you will need more Willies, right?!

Have you had an opportunity to look for running-willy's hand anymore??

No Shirely I didn't find it I'm afraid the rain has probably washed it away~~~ OR it's gotten lost under the bridge !! Ohh I found some items I'd love to use for adding another addition Gotta budget it in tho!!
Soon!!!!!!!!!!

Welll welll We have 4 new wee willys to join us!!!
Christy has sent me 4 New wee willys!!!
The first one is the offical Rule Book keeper of the games,, Seems we have a cheater at cards!!!!


another one is sooo relaxed after a long trip and has found just the place to chill out!!


continues next post

the next one ..., well let's just say I'm going to have to keep an eye on him ~ or better still maybe I ought to assign him to Gran PooBah! A rock climber he is!! with No safety harness


The fourth one is on a special secret misson and cannot be seen right now! He will be on special assignment for a while until further notice ~ it may only be a day or two but time will tell when all orders are carried out and all personal has been briefed!

In the mean time we have the "Look out Specialist" hanging around to see if there is anyone coming!!

Is that part of weeWillys secret mission?? Or do you need me to send you a box of rocks? :LOL:

Everything looks great Diane! They are going to have to start coming up with new willies to keep up with you! I love it!

Ohhhh Man I heard a ruckus outside this morning Cheering and clapping and it was coming from the Willy Village!! Not knowing what was going on I grabbed my camera And Am I ever sooo glad I did!!! The Look out specialist was Yelling "One hand Running willy to get to the Bridge "Hurry Hurry!!!!!" RUNNNNNNNNNN!!!" Still cheering was getting louder and louder in so much excitement!!! When One hand running WIlly got to the Bridge He couldn't believe his eyes!! " Could this Be real?? I can't believe I'm seeing this!!"



After Much planning and keeping the 'special' Mission The Villager's got together and arranged for One hand Running Willy's Brothers to come from afar!! The First Brother Had arrived a week ago from Pennslyvania but was kept in hiding untill the other two Brothers came in from New York!!

One hand Willy Could not believe he was seeing his three Brothers approaching him on the bridge!!!


What a reunion this was!!! IT had been a lonng time since they have seen each other and the Villager's Knew One hand Willy was a bit sad after losing his hand and they wanted to cheer him up, so they enlisted the help of their Human friends, Christy and Lynne and made it possible!!!


Story continues next post~~~~~~~~

Now we know the Special Mission!! How happy One Hand Willy must be, now!!!

Continued from previous Picture posting!~~

One Hand Willy had never been happier than to be joined again with his brothers!!!! They were pleased to see their Brother had healed nicely

After a group Hug they put their heads together to make plans for them all to live at the village and work together and never seperate again!!!

awsome diane!
im glad they got their reunion!

Diane - you are SOOOOOOOO CREATIVE with these stories - I am just [color:#FF0000]LOVING it all!!! And your photos are the best!!!

You really should get this put into a published book -
the pictures and tales are so much fun!!! [/color]

Thanks IT's my pleaseure to bring a chuckle or two to those that read.. I saw letters being mailed out today to let others know the brothers arrived safe and all is well,,


The next thing is to get the Willy's used to having Emmy my pup around them!!!

OMG! Just too cute, Diane! This is so great!!

And where do you find these graphics for every occasion?!!

I love it!!!!!!!!!

A little Gnomie told me where to find them!!

I just let my grandson Tre' read these stories about the Willy's He was cracking up and had to stop reading a few times .. Tre wants me to make a book out of this for publication and he says the compliments were great and he loves them all and He loved Wreenies Medics <~~that really cracked him up and he said "OHHH Lord!!HAHAHAHAHA Grandma that is sooo crazy!" He thanks Lynne and Christy for sending the One hand Willy's brothers to be with him and that was "Very Nice of you"
maybe this Memorial weekend in something else will take place?

I hope they have a party, or cookout or some Village get-together!!

See Diane, an indorsement for a book from a child who would read it!!!

Ohhh Man Shirls you and Tre' was on the same page today!!! We had a BBq here today for us and the Grandkids ~ He said after reading this it was only fair the Willys get a cook out too and that because it is suppose to rain for the next 5 days we had better do it now!!!

Sooo We got the wee hots dogs out and sliced them up and got a flame going so they could have roasted hot dogs. Another Wee willy brought along apples. The Willys didn't take the time to roast the marshmellows as that's a rare treat and they gobbled them up right away!
While roasting the hot dogs some continued to play cards, and one continued to cheat at cards , especially when the "reader of the rules Willy" was looking behind the cheater for 'hidden' cards he reaches again to get a card off his foot!
The willys had a great time at the cook out and all enjoyed the hotdogs, marshmellows, and apples, after all had eaten and bellies were full they made sure the fire was out so all would be safe

awwww...It looks like they had a fun party!!! So glad the Willy's got to enjoy a good time for the holiday too!!

You and the boys really did a good job!! They are really getting into this aren't they?!!

Diane, here is a picture I have of a lizard I told you previously reminded me of the one on your fence in one of your pictures:

I is on the outer surface of a building in Munich, Germany.
Isn't that weird for it to be there?
Hope you can see why I thought of it when I saw yours!

what fun! looks like they were having a blast!
wow diane your so creative! makes ya wanna shirnk down to a willy size so ya can join em


cool lizard shirls

What an different kind of day we had today at the Willy Village,,
Emmy was pacing the area and I couldn't figure out why she wouldn't come when I called her. She was soo focused on What ever was over there . She would go back and forth and back and forth then I'd hear little giggles .. Now that caught my attention,, as none of the Willies Giggled,, Laugh and chuckles yes But not giggles!!.. I had to go see!!! The first thing I saw was....


This little girl Willy!! Where did She come from??? I think maybe Emmy was trying to get to the rabbit in her pocket!!


Just as I was about to ask her I heard a horn ~ a tiny horn~ beep beep!!

What??

A



Car??? A Willy and a log car , A Willy and a log car that is solar powered.. What the Heck is going on here!!!???

How cute!!! (And how cute that Emmy is getting envolved!)

Is this Willy tootin' his horn trying to pick up that cute girl?
Might we have a romance starting here?!

continued..

So I asked the driver if he knew the little girl willy and He said Surrrrrrre I do!! WHy that's my Sister's cousin's daughter's niece's mother's child!! Ohhhhh I said,,

Welll what is she doing here?? He said "as Her Uncle's cousin's brother I'm in charge of her today it's my day off and I've driven her into the village to visit GrandPoobah," ~ "Ohhh He will be delighted" I said !!!

SOo Off he went slowly with The Willy girl to visit GranPooBah


and indeed GrandPoobah was soo delighted to see his great great great grand daughter


Seems all the Willys were entertaining this little one!!!



My question is How can the willy's manage to come up with a solar powered car and I can't seem to get a solar powered fountain!! Ohh well at least they can get around a lot faster now!!!

How wonderful!! (my Sister's cousin's daughter's niece's mother's child!!)
I couldn't even begin to straighten
that out in my mind!!!

But are they not TOO close to get together??!

I would say that is a difinate NO Shirely the driver must be at least 35 and the little girl is only 6 or 7 He was babysitting today , Welll acually the Village was babysitting today as we all know it takes a Village to raise a child!!

omg! diana thats so awsome!! his own lil car

your girls so cute!

That little girl Willy is sooooo cute, Diane!
And the one in the car - how fun is that?!?

I am late but the willys are so clever and authentic.
Make a book for your grandkids......that is kool.
How about show and tell at school???????
YOu make a good summer project there for the kids out of school.

The Village is probably gearing up for their Village Party for the 4th!!!
