I always look forward to a smile or two on Tuesdays!
Today we are to help out the gals at Martha's Bloomers. Seems Uncle Grumpy is helping with a renovation, but may have taken a few too many items to the dump - he is Grumpy, after all. Well, most of the teapartiers are bringing more BLOOMS, but my mind wandered in a different direction, and I thought of petticoats and bloomers!
Uncle Grumpy may have imbibed in some of the tea served here - one or two of the teapot Tuesday gals may have even added a drop or two of some other liquid. Grumpy is trying hard to shed his sour image, and is kicking up his heels with any tea potter who is willing. Who is next to join in this Texas hoedown? (his first dancer is probably A. Non. Amous???

Rut roh! Uncle Grump just got goosed in the rump by a sassy new lass dressed in petticoats, bloomers and sass! Who'd a thunk a trip to the dump would result in the soul mate and a turn in his fate! Why, I saw him picking out fabric, flower seeds and tea in the General Store!!! Dorothy, a miracle worker you are! He doesn't even look grumpy.....
We are off to Plan B.....the water tank rennovation will take on the look of a fancy new hot tub and patio...the girls are back in, Grump's got his girl, and the girls are in charge! Woot!
Tea Hee! Love your story, love your card, love this happy new couple....Hmm......who might that teapotter be? Okay, I am outa here, Spit and Spat, the Cats, are at it again!

Well my, Dorothy, plenty of frills and girly girl dress there, no wonder she's tempted Uncle Grump out on the floor.
Hope you get your fridge repaired soon!

Oh, so cute, I love this image. Hope Uncle Grump gets his dancing down to a tee or is that tea? He has some really nice red boots that he wore to the tea party. That will draw the women over to dance with him.
