Uncle Sam and a Chick Named Elvis.....

Oh stop already! It's not what you think!!  But you should know by now that me and titles don't mesh on Mondays....or Thursdays.

You see.....the story goes like this.....

My lil' raggedy blog buddy, Angie, has a sister named Farmer Kim.  And Farmer Kim had a chick.  (Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick, chick...)

Sorry....

Anyways, Kim's chick was nameless....(not to be confused with the horse with no name....that's a different story and another post....)

So, a while back, Angie and Kim teamed up for a truly fun giveaway.  Angie posted photos of Farmer Kim's darling, nameless, lil' chick, and asked for name suggestions.   Angie then sent the name suggestions on to Farmer Kim and Farmer Kim and Mister Farmer Kim chose the name they liked best.

And, YEAH!! They chose my name.....well, not "my" name, but the name I suggested.

You guessed it....Elvis!

Come on.....doesn't he look like an Elvis to you????

Look at that pose, and that jaunty hip.....

 Those eyes.....those cheeks.....
Swoon.....

;o)

So, on with the story.....The winner got to choose between one of Angie's gorgeous hand-painted swans:

Or one of her ginormous (as in 56" of ginormous) Uncle Sams.....It was a tough, tough, choice, but I went with Sam.  After all, "A Painted Swan and a Chick Named Elvis" just doesn't have the same ring to it.... ;o)

  
The lucky winner (that would be me) also received a year subscription to Folk magazine..... :o)))) YES! (I swear I am the only person who has yet to see an actual copy of this magazine...)

So, that's the story of Uncle Sam and a chick named Elvis.  

Thanks so much Sweet Raggedy Angie (and Farmer Kim and the folks at Folk)!!! I LOVE Sam (and Elvis) and can't wait to spend some quality time with "Folk."  You, dear Raggedy, know how to keep things fun.....Give some lovin' to Elvis for me.....
