why gnomes????
well, when daddio & i were engaged, for my birthday my mom had given me a yorkie lawn statue & then a month or so later a memorial statue of a pet that passed away. daddio thought that was a bit odd & asked if she had a thing for lawn ornaments or something. well, with that said the game was on.
one day, at walgreen's, all the summer lawn decorations were 90% off. i bought like 10. i called my mom telling her my plan to stick them all over our flower bed & tell daddio they were from her. we couldn't wait for his response of "gee, thanks," because he would never say anything bad. my mom & i crack ourselves up sometimes.
since then, for every christmas & birthday since daddio & i have been married, my mom (damaw) has gotten him a gnome. this year, namaw (daddio's mom) joined in the fun & added to our gnome collection. for some, it might be a bit much but it puts a big smile on my face.
for ben's first halloween, we were all garden gnomes. a mom at the library playgroup asked if he was a poorly dressed santa claus. i've been mad at her ever since. just kidding, i've gotten over it.

Why is it no matter if you love or hate lawn ornaments everyone can smile at the sight of a gnome. They are just joyous little creatures. Of course be careful there have been incidents of people stealing lawn ornaments;)
We got your sign, very cool thank you so much, that was so thoughtful.
