Blue Monday - Blue Gift Idea

Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We drove up the Florida highway to celebrate our grandson Zachary's 18th birthday. It was a perfect day for a drive. Even though the windshield became bug splattered with those nasty love bugs, we still appreciated the beautiful blue sky.



It's always so difficult to think of the "perfect" present for anyone, but when the person is a teen, it's especially tricky. I think I've found a solution. Zachery is holding the gift his Papa and I brought him. Of course the wrapping is a blue background with sports icons printed on it.

Note the additional gift from his cousins is also wrapped in blue.



Inside is a giant chocolate bar, and hidden under the wrapper is money! Chocolate and money. Yep, Zachary thought that it was the Perfect gift!



Zachary is dressed in a blue shirt, blue pants, and blue hat.

Happy Blue Monday!

Hello. It's Blue Monday! I'm so glad you decided to join in the fun.

To participate: just click here for BLUE MONDAY INSTRUCTIONS or check out the instructions by clicking on the Blue Monday icons in my sidebar.

I l❤ve comments, so please remember to leave one for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day, when Johnny and I were out and about, we stopped at Tuesday Morning. Look what beautiful blue flew into my hands! (Actually, I spotted him on a shelf and knew he had to come home with me. How could I resist?)




A Blue Jay! Of course I purchased him and brought him home. How could I resist?





He landed on my kitchen counter, right next to a vase with flowers!
Smart bird.


Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday - Blue Song

It's a good idea to show this blue jay. Many people place the Blue Monday button at the top of their post so that visitors can easily find their Blue Monday. Another Blue Monday button can be placed on the sidebar of your blog. Some choose to place the link within the Blue Jay button, but I don't know how to do that.

Leave a comment for me; I guarantee that I'll visit you and leave a comment for you. Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and leaving comments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a snappy blue song that I've heard recently, and I'm sharing a cartoon version of it with you today. I've placed a video below so that you might hear the tune. The words follow. It's fun to sing along. In fact, you can even exercise to it! Simply follow the stick man.



I'm Blue

Yo listen up
Here's the story about a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him
Inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and his-self
And everybody around 'cuz he ain't got nobody to listen.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee Da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
(repeat once)

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color I thought that I'd wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da d ba dee da ba di
da ba dee Da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
(repeat twice)

Inside and outside
Blue his house with the blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and his-self
And everybody around 'cuz he ain't got nobody to listen.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
da ba dee da ba di
(repeat once)

Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday - Happy Labor Day!

It's a good idea to show this blue jay button. Many people place the Blue Monday button at the top of their post so that visitors can easily find their Blue Monday post.

In addition, another Blue Monday button can be placed on the sidebar of your blog. Some choose to place the link within the Blue Jay button; I only know how to do that on a sidebar button. I have never figured out how to do it on a post button.

Try to visit other Blue participants. Just click on their links. Most people return comments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's Labor Day! To make your holiday a bit happier, I'm offering some cartoons. Each one has blue in it.























The small print says, "Made in China?"







Happy Blue Monday!
