My good friend, Marian, gave this to me for Christmas.
Have you seen one of these before?
You clearly see it starts out flat,. . . . . . . but Presto-Chango . . . . . .
Wow, look at it NOW!
And with a tug and a pull. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It has expanded to almost a square---with a bottom , a handle, AND wheels!
Yes, indeed, this baby has wheels.
So what does a person do with this thing?
It's great for hauling plants and yard implements . . . . . . . . . . . . .
or hauling dirt ---the Grand Dog must give the dirt a thorough "sniff-over".
or hauling the recyclables to the car to take to the center.
or for giving Izzie a spin around the yard. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
OR. . . . . . . . . . .OR. . . . . . . . . . . . OR. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. WAIT A MINUTE. What do we have in the cart now?
It looks suspiciously like a little concrete buddy I know and his newest friend, The Flamingo!
AND THEY HAVE A MESSAGE!!
They know how to make my day!!!!!!!!!

These are bigtime popular amongst crafters too. I notice a lot scrapbookers @ shows/conventions lugging them about. Fun tool and so many uses.

Hi Dana,
I need one of these carts to carry stuff around everywhere - my isn't what it used to be. I love the idea of the potting soil and of course, giving Izzy a ride. Looks like it could be something when folded up from Mission Impossible (the old show, not the movie).
And thank goodness that Stone Rabbit and the pink flamingo are keeping us on our toes for Mamma Mia! Here I go again.. my, my...
;)
We're almost there now!

Gee, I meant to say my back isn't what it used to be. Obviously, my brain isn't either ;)

Hi Dana
I saw a couple of these at the book fair and thought, aha! We need one of them! We're talking about going to see Mama Mia, Friday.
We had lunch at Oddfellows Cafe today...yummy. I told Lori, you and Connie may be paying them a visit. She was thrilled..they love to have people from out of town, find the shop and cafe. Lori and Greg are super nice folks!
Have a great rest of the week!

How cute is that thing! I could use it sometimes. I just love how Stone Rabbit is such a little stinker!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

I'm so glad you stopped in! I think if you and I, Stone Rabbit and Chloe Dawn got together, we just might get into trouble. But wouldn't we have fun!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Dana, I have been busy all day and just now finished my post. It was supposed to post at 3 am tomorrow but I messed up the date. I am tired. I laughed at your post when the rabbit and the flamingo showed up. Your, whatever it is, looks so handy.
About your jam, yes, to your question. Smile. Next time follow the Sure Jell instructions to the letter.
It is the only way!
My sister called tonight because Momma Mia is showing Friday night. My grands are arriving to spend the week and I can't go. Sigh. I'll be thinking of you and my sisters. darn!
Love, Jeanne

What a great convenience that gadget is! That was a nice gift to receive. Izzie looks cute getting a ride.
I think the stone rabbit and flamingo really love you Dana!
oh -- the all star game required all star wallets to pay for the mucho expensive tickets ...lol...way out of my league!
Hugs, Pat

Dana, I had to come back to tell you I am going to see Momma Mia with my sisters on Friday after all. I have been pouting and my dh called my son who is bringing my grandkids (2) Friday . He isn't coming until late so I'm free. So to speak.:) The rest of my grands come on Sat. pm.
I had to tell someone who understands my 'need' to see that show.
Love ya, Jeanne

Hi Dana,
I enjoy reading your posts so much that I ended up tagging you. Hope you can play along. Hop on over with the stone rabbit to take a peek.

I can't wait. I want to see this. I know it is going to be fabulous.
See you Saturday?

I would load it full of books...lol!
Posted by: Joy | July 17, 2008 at 04:32 PM
I MUST get myself one of these carts. They would be "perfect" for the Farmer's Market or the different festivals I attend, i.e., Lavender Festival, etc.
Blessings,
Sher
