I have looked all over Elmore and Autauga County in Alabama, and Ramon isn't here. Sorry, I am way past time for the teaparty, but I wanted to make sure I looked everywhere. The closest thing I could find to Ramon was these lawn decorations on County Rd 7. Oh well, I heard several teaparty gals had much better luck than me. If I had a name like Ramon, I would go to Miami Beach personally.....
If you think I have lost my mind (which I have of course), check out the Teapot Tuesday Challenge in the Forum - #96 (it is never too late to join in as evidenced by the fact that I loaded this card 10 days after the challenge started).

Another great card and sentiment! I don't know about the teaparty-but I do know for a fact that there used to be a restaurant (don't know if it is still there the way the economy is right now) on A1A at Cocoa Beach Florida called the Flamingo that had it's front lawn covered with hundreds of these Flamingo lawn ornaments. It was so cool. Beats having to pay for lawn care service!!!

Fun, Nancy. I have see these flamingoes on lawns...sometimes it was a joke about someone's birthday. I forgot what that was about but funny just the same. Great card for the Ramon hunt.

Had to laugh because up here people can get flamingoed on their birthdays LOL! You can get a bunch of them (one per year - thus 40th, 50th tend to be the b-day used) and put them on a friend's lawn at night for them to wake up to in the morning Fun sentiment!
