That sentiment is "barnyard slang" for "Where the &^%(#@ did everyone go?!"....I was in New Jersey just a few weeks ago and purchased this cow behind One Little Spark...that stamp store I visited. I didn't JUST stock up on Amuse Stamps, I also stocked up on Jersey Cows and NJ blueberries! Hey, I typically go there only once or twice a year, so I thought I should be prepared!
But when I heard that the party was at the barnyard, we hopped in the Subaru Outback (Bessie on top) and hustled out to the West Coast....but of course, we're late, and Bessie wants to know where everyone is?!
PS...Ok, that was a bit of tall tale, I didn't get Bessie in New Jersey...Mothermark actually had her sent via LIVESTOCK truck from Colorado...for REAL..she is a gift! Thanks, Cindy....wink!

Ha ha!! Love the barnyard slang!!! Too funny. So where did everyone go?? Maybe they are at the beach?? You know some of the cows had udder jobs, and they probably want to show them off!! There has also been some talk of the "grass" that the cows in California like, so have you checked behind the barn?? My sweet Minne-SOOOOOOOOO-ta cow and me are back hoooome now, we like the slow simple life.... ya, don'tchya know.
Your card is super adorable, Kelly!! What a fun cow, and of course there you go with all your fun backgrounds again!! I LOVE LOVE that cute red gingham banner with the buttons. Just tooooo cute!! Glad you made it to the teaparty!!

You had me going there with your story being a Jersey girl. Glad you stocked up on the blueberries - it was a banner season. I've been to One Little Spark and plan on revisiting in a couple weeks when we take our vacation.
So no wonder Bessie is a little confused there! But she looks quite at home and peaceful. Great card! Loved the story.

As to your "barnyard slang" for "Where the &^%(#@ did everyone go?!", we all went to the lake! No ocean in Colorado! Kelly, you did Muddermark proud with that stamp she sent you. This is over the top cute! But I have to say, my Miss Bessy is going to give your Miss Bessie a run for her money! So watch out girlfriend. Glad you finally made it to the party! TFS :0)

Thanks for providing the translation, Kelly! I was wondering had Bessie had a bit too much to drink if she was saying all that herself. Or maybe she got heat-stroke up on top of the truck. Send some of those skies over here - it's all grey today here.
