Vickie: This GEM is certainly a precious one!  Looks like you girls had a great time bug hunting in town. Thanks for sharing photos of your little darling.

Cheryl~  It makes it even more fun for ME to use her in the advertising...  of course I adore my little "Gem"  and love spending time with her and throwing in a little work while I am at it.... 

Jan~ Yes she is so precious!  I am going to have to eventually put her new brother in somehow, although she thinks SHE is the "star" which, of course she IS!! 


She loved the hunt because it was something fun and different to do, but she got tired of it fast because it was SO HOT that day... so we had to stop before she called child labor on me, LOL.

What a lovely way to tell your story...and she is quite the little actress!

Sally~  Yes, Gem is quite the little actress.  If you could meet her in person you would adore her!  Thanks for the compliment about it being a lovely way to tell my story, it means alot coming from YOU!  :)

Is she the cutest or what?!   I'm happy to see that she is one with the bugs.

Vicke- looks liek you spent some fun time with your beautiful granddaughter- andgot a post out of it!  Way to go!

Carol~ Nothing like killing two birds with one stone, huh? She wants to go looking for the rest of the bugs, so we may just have to "bug hunt" some more..... 

Debbie~  Yes I must agree with you she IS THE CUTEST and she loved going on the bug hunt.  The heat wasn't the greatest thing, but we still had fun and I tied it in with work- if you can call it work, LOL.

Uggg, I HATE bugs, and FL has some of the wierdest anywhere!

Ronald~  These are nice "Bugs" because they are NOT real, they are created and designed by human talent and very interesting to see! 

Now I could use that adorable little girl on my sales team!  Very entertaining post.  Bugs that are not real, now I could probably deal with those kind.

Donna~ Geneveive is the best little girl on my team!  I agree with you fake bugs are best!

Still hate all 'dem bugs.  :-)                (although you did have a cute story)

Ronald~  I don't like bugs either, but these all over Owensboro are really cute and very creative and clever- now that kind I like- fake ones!
