Jolly ‘N Joyful Green Monday!!!

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Holidays, Humour, Politic-Free Mondays

Good Monday morning, friends!  You’re all up bright and early and looking mighty perky this morning … must be that you’ve made up for the hour you lost a week ago, eh?  Well, we’re glad you’re here.  Did you have a good weekend?  It was bitterly cold here, so I stayed in while the girls went shopping to try to find Goose a new pair of shoes, and buy new pillows for their beds.  Then we had Chinese take-out on Saturday night, so overall it wasn’t a bad weekend.  And now, time to grit the teeth and get ready to face another week!  I think it’s supposed to be a bit warmer here this week, so maybe I’ll get out for a bit one day.  Joyful has been in the kitchen all morning preparing some treats for Jolly Monday, so let’s go see what’s on the table, shall we?   Oh … it looks like we’re just a few days late for St. Patrick’s Day!

Jolly wants to start with some cool pictures he found over at Phil’s Phun …

And we’ve got a few fun animal memes and puns for you …

Okay, okay … I hear you chanting “Cartoons, Cartoons, Cartoons” … so here you go!

Along with a few memes …

And we simply must have a cute critter video, yes?

Well, my friends, it seems our time is always too short!  But, we’ll be together again next Monday, so it gives us something to look forward to.  Keep safe this week, and be sure to share those gorgeous smiles!  Love and many hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!

Jolly ‘n Joyful Monday Again!

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Humour, Politic-Free Mondays, Random

Good Monday morning, dear friends!  Did you all have a wonderful weekend?  I had a peaceful one, which is all I ask these days.  Chris and her band marched downtown in the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, so she was pretty tired after marching a couple of miles while carrying and playing a big bass drum!  Goose and I did mostly nothing.  But Jolly and Joyful had quite an adventure this weekend!  I’ll let them tell you about it …

We went ‘cwoss da pond to spend da weekend wif Uncle Woger and Aunt Sheila and help Uncle Woger do some yard work!  He calls it work, but I thought it was gweat fun!  We got to stomp ’round in da slush left by da snow, and dere was spiders an’ everything!  An’ we gots lots of good stuff to eat and yummy hot chocolate!

An’ while Jolly was stomping ‘round in the muck and slush outside, I helped Aunt Sheila in da house and we cooked and laughed and had da best time ever!  We love Uncle Woger and Aunt Sheila!  An’ guess what I learned?  On da other side of da pond, cookies is called ‘biscuits’!

Well, I hope you two are ready to work on Jolly Monday now … Joyful, don’t forget you promised the gang lots of bacon this week!  Let’s go see what’s on the buffet table this morning and then find some fun things to start this week out with a smile and a chuckle!

Let’s start the day with some interesting and funny signs …

And a few fun facts I’ve been collecting from over at Phil’s Phun …

Okay … okay … I hear you clamouring for the ‘toons!

And how ‘bout a few memes, too?

Well, folks, I think that leaves only one more thing … and that’s the cute critter video that Jolly scouted out for us this week!  I think you’ll really enjoy this adorable tiger cub …

We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit this morning and that those smiles I see on your faces will last you throughout the week!  Be sure to pick up a couple of spares from the basket by the door on your way out so you have some to share this week.  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

Yet again begins another week, thus another Monday.  The next Monday holiday doesn’t come until May!!!  Some people get Good Friday off in early April, but most do not, so the 5-day grind continues on … and on … and on.  Wow, I’m just a bucket of cheer this morning, aren’t I?  Perhaps I better let Jolly ‘n Joyful take over Jolly Monday this week!  I see that Joyful has whipped up some treats, so let’s go see what she has for us, then we’ll try to find some fun stuff to laugh about before tackling this new week head on!

Wow, Joyful!!!  You’ve really outdone yourself today!

Let’s get this show on the road with just a few animal memes …

And some funny signs …

Now for da ‘toons I picked out dis week!

And to round out the morning, a cute animal video!  This one is guaranteed to bring a smile … it even brought a smile to my grumpy ol’ face!!! 

Well, friends, we wish you could stay longer, but I know you all have things to do, places to go, people to see.  Keep safe this week and we wish you a happy week!  Don’t forget to share those smiles … there are plenty to go around!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly & Joyful!

Jolly Ice Cream Monday!

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Humour, Politic-Free Mondays

Good Monday morning once again, friends!  Did you all have a wonderfully relaxing weekend?  Have you noticed that the weekends seem to be shorter these days?  Maybe because for a while there, during November, December, and January, there were so many holiday extended weekends and we’re not used to just two days.  But alas, it is Monday now, time to start a fresh new week with new challenges to combat!  Apart from a frigid start, with temps well below zero from Christmas thru New Years, it has been unseasonably warm here, even reaching 68° last Wednesday, and predicted to do the same later this week.  So, in honour of a summery winter, Joyful and I thought it would be a good time to have an ice cream party!  So, head over to the table and grab a treat, then we’ll find some fun to start the week off!

Let’s start with just a few puns …

We always have fun with the music puns …

You wanna see all the funny ‘toons I found over at Phil’s Phun?

And now for today’s funny, cute critter video … who knew that birds had such a great sense of rhythm???

Well, friends, we’ve really enjoyed our time together this morning and hope you have, too!  I see some beautiful smiles on your faces and I hope they can last throughout the week.  Be sure to share them … sharing a smile doesn’t cost a thing, and sometimes it means so much!  Keep safe and have a great week ahead!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!

Mondays Are For Jollyness And Joyfulness!

Wh-Wha-WHAT???  It’s Monday again???  Already?  Wh-where did the weekend go?  Sheesh … the days keep getting shorter and shorter!  Well, welcome to Monday … since it’s here, we’ll just have to make the best of it, won’t we?  On that note, let’s go see what Joyful has cooked up this morning, and then we’ll go in search of some fun things to start the week on the right foot!

I hope you guys are in the mood for some … PIZZA this morning, ’cause that’s what I’ve been workin’ on all morning long!  Gwammie likes hers with pineapple … do you?

Our friend Larry has been AWOL for a year or so, thanks to WordPress glitches, but he’s baaaaccckkk now, and so in honour of perhaps our biggest bacon lover, we found a few new bacon memes!

Who’s in the mood for some funny puns?

I been over at Phil’s place over da weekend an’ found a bunch of funny ‘toons to make you laugh!

And just a few fun memes …

Today’s cute critter video is a bit different than most, but guaranteed to make you laugh!

Well, friends, it’s that time again.  We hope you are leaving with a smile on your face and a bit of joy in your heart.  Please keep safe and warm this week, and take a few extra smiles from the basket to share with others!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly, and Joyful!

We Wish You A Jolly Monday!

Good morning friends!!!  C’mon in where it’s warm!  Well, relatively warm, anyway.  We don’t keep it super-warm, for we don’t like those extra-large electric/gas bills, and we are trying to do our part for the environment by being conscientious.  How was your weekend?  Ours was quiet, except for all the coughing, sneezing, and nose-blowing, as all three of us have colds.  Joyful and I cooked up just a few treats this morning, while Jolly organized the ‘toons and such, so head on over to the table for a snack and then we’ll see what Jolly has for us to start the week with a smile!

We’ll get to the ‘toons in a minute, but I came across something that made me smile, and I hope it will make you smile, too.  A nine-year-old boy, David Balogun from Pennsylvania, just earned his high school diploma, something most of us don’t do until we are twice his age!  David has also already earned some college credits and he plans to become an astrophysicist!

If you’re interested, you can read more about David and his achievements at The Guardian!

Let’s start the morning with some animal memes, ‘k?

A few funny signs might give you a chuckle or two …

And now … on to the ‘TOONS!!!

And now for that cute/funny animal video!  I just love this one about a determined dog named Gus!

Well, friends, that’s a wrap for this Monday morning!  We hope you enjoyed the snacks and the humour, hope you are leaving with a big smile on your faces!  Be sure to share those smiles in the days ahead, for there are a lot of people who don’t have one of their own.  Keep warm and safe this week!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly, and Joyful!

Jolly ‘N Joyful Take Over

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Humour, Politic-Free Mondays, Random

Hello fwiends!  Jolly Monday dis week is brought to you by me ‘n Joyful, ’cause Gwammie is in a wabbit hole and Uncle David is workin’ on gettin’ her out, but we couldn’t let you start da week without some laughs, so we did the best we could without her!  Joyful was busy helpin’ me wid da ‘toons ‘n stuff, so we just picked up some donuts for da mornin’ snack … I hope dat’s okay.  So, go get a donut an’ a coffee and come see what fun stuff we found for you!

While Jolly was off finding ‘toons, I went in search of some music puns, and here’s what I found!

And now for some ‘toons to make you laugh!

An’ here’s a few memes, too!

And we found a cute cwitter video wif a bear cub pwayin’ wif some lion cubs … it’s short, but we hope it makes you smile!

Well, fwiends, we hope you enjoyed our limited, gwammie-less Jolly Monday, and we pwomise to get Gwammie out o’ da wabbit hole before next Monday!  Love ‘n hugs from Jolly ‘n Joyful (and Gwammie, aka Filosofa)!

Just Another Jolly ‘N Joyful Monday

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Politic-Free Mondays

Good Monday morning, friends … c’mon in from the cold!  Just leave your boots in the hallway there and Jolly will shake the snow off of them and set them over by the heat register to dry.  A “dusting to an inch” they said!  HAH!!!  There’s a good six inches out there!  I was surprised that none of the neighbor kids built a snowman yesterday.  ‘Twould have been a good day for a snowball fight!  Anyway … Joyful thought it was a good day for soup and bread, so let’s go see what’s on the buffet and then see what fun things we found to start the week out with a smile, a chuckle, or maybe even a laugh!

We have loads of fun for you today, so while you’re enjoying your soup and nice steaming beverage, let’s take a look at some cute animal pictures …

Signs, signs, signs … some leave you scratching your head, and others bring an immediate laugh …

And on to some cartoons that Jolly’s been collecting this week …

Time for a cute/funny animal video … let’s see what we can find today …

Y’know, I’ve been thinking.  I’ve long said that if I get the chance, I will return to earth as a wolf, for I’ve long thought of the wolf as my ‘spirit animal’, but I think I might prefer to return as a bear.  Why, you ask?  Bears get to hibernate in warm caves and sleep all winter, while wolves do not hibernate and are out prowling for food even in sub-zero temperatures.  Right about now, hibernating in a warm, dark cave sounds better than roaming the frozen tundra in search of food!  Anyway … the time has come for us to say goodbye, but only for a little while.  We hope you enjoyed your visit this morning, and please share those lovely smiles with others who seem to need one of their own.  Keep safe and warm, and have a wonderful week!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly and Joyful!

Jolly, Joyful Monday!

Good Jolly Monday morn, my friends!  Come in out of the cold, warm your hands by the fire … oh wait, we don’t have a fireplace.  So, how was your weekend?  Ours was cold, but we did make a trip to the bookstore and Fresh Market yesterday, which was kind of nice, considering I almost never get out of the house these days.  I’m not sure what Joyful has on the buffet this morning, for she said she was planning to keep it simple today, but let’s go see, and then we’ll find some fun to start this week off on the right foot, okay?

I forgot last week, but I found these fun bacon-themed humour that I thought you guys might enjoy — especially the bacon lovers among you …

Jolly ‘n Joyful found some funny animal memes over at Phil’s place they want to share with you …

And now for some ‘toons!!!

And finally, our funny animal video of the week!  This one’s a little longer than most (8 minutes), but so full of fun that I couldn’t resist it!

Well, friends, we’ve enjoyed our time with you and we’re sad to see you go, but we’ll get together again next Monday!  Meanwhile, we hope you have a wonderful week ahead.  Keep safe and warm, and please remember to share the smiles wherever you go!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Joyful and Jolly!
