Jolly Last-Monday-In-July Monday!

Good Monday morning, dear friends!  Yep, today is the last day in July, typically the hottest month of the year in the northern hemisphere, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up for the temps to cool down any time soon this year!  Anyway, we are only three months away from Hallowe’en … time to start preparing!  How was your weekend?  I hope you all got to do something fun, or at least stayed home and stayed cool!

Joyful and I decided on some cool, no-cooking-required foods for this morning’s snack, so sorry — no bacon this week!  Help yourself to the buffet and then let’s go see what Jolly, Joyful and I have found that we hope will start your week off on the right foot, with a smile or a chuckle …


I thought we’d start the morning out with some of those cute, awwwwww-inspiring pictures …


How ’bout a few puns?


And now … {drumroll} … TIME FOR ‘TOONS!!!


Jolly has been collecting some funny memes this week that he wants to share with you …


As always, we end with a cute or funny critter video.  This week’s is a bit different than usual, as it comes from a post on Scottie’s Playtime and it’s a bit longer than usual, but I think you’ll find it well worth the few minutes spent watching it.  Thank you, Scottie!!!


Well, my friends, it’s time to go take this week by the horns and tame it!  I hope you all have a good week ahead and please remember to share those gorgeous smiles I see on your faces!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

We Wish You A Jolly ‘N Joyful Monday!

Wh-Wha-What???  It’s Monday again … already???  What happened to the weekend?  Ah well … the bright side is that if it’s Monday, then you guys are here to share in the smiles, laughter, and bacon that always accompany Jolly Monday!  See … it’s true that every cloud has a silver lining … even Monday!  I smell something good, so let’s go see what Joyful has cooked up for us, shall we?

An’ because Ab said we gonna need more bacon dis week, I made extra!


Alright, then … let’s take a look at some phunny puns while we munch …

It took me a minute to get this one … guess I’ve gotten slow in my dotage!


A few cute pictures always bring a smile, don’t they?


Okay, Okay … I hear you … you want ‘TOONS!!!  Well, you’re in luck, ’cause we’ve got lots of ‘toons today!


I found a few Phun Phacts over at Phil’s place I thought you might like …


And naturally, we cannot let you leave without a funny or cute animal video, now can we?  This one’s shorter than usual, but I loved it and hope you will too!

I especially loved the way he handed the peel back to the human after he was finished!


Well, friends, it’s that time again … time for us to get this week rolling with jobs, chores, errands, and whatever else needs to be done.  We hope that you’ve enjoyed your time here and that you’re starting this week with a big smile to dispel whatever darkness you run into out there!  Keep safe and have a good week, and remember to share the smiles!  I came across something this morning that I think is just perfect for how we here at Filosofa’s Word feel about you, our friends!

Just Another Jolly ‘N Joyful Monday

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 Monday With Bacon!

Good morning, friends!  Well, that certainly was a short long weekend, wasn’t it?

Daughter Chris had 4 days off, but it seemed like far less.  Still, I’m glad Thanksgiving is behind us and I just wish Christmas was also in the rearview mirror.  I used to love the holidays, but not so much anymore.  I’ve become a creature of routine and the holidays shatter my routine and exhaust both me and my paltry bank account.  Anyway, Monday is here, and we will try to switch from weekend mode to work-week mode with a bit of fun and some chuckles.  Meanwhile, though, Joyful has whipped up some goodies, so grab a plate and let’s go in search of humour to start the day!


Let’s start out with just a handful of animal memes and cute animal pictures …


We found some signs during our travels ’round the ‘Net, too!  Some, like this first one, are cool, others are just funny!


Jolly has been really busy picking out cartoons and memes all weekend!


And last but not least, a funny animal video!


We hope you’ve enjoyed your time here this morning and that we helped start your week with a smile, a chuckle, or maybe even a laugh!  Keep safe and have a good week, dear friends!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly and Joyful!

Jolly HOT July Monday!!!

Good {yawn} Monday morn, friends {yawn}.  Have I mentioned that I HATE holidays that involve fireworks?  People here in da hood apparently thought it would be great fun to put off fireworks Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night until the wee hours of the morning {yawn}.  And I’m sure they’ll carry it over into tonight, as well.  Ah well … thus far I haven’t taken my wooden rolling pin and gone out threatening to bash any heads in, so I’m doing better than last year.  I hope you all had a quieter weekend than we did!  And now, we begin another week … the first full week of July.  So … to start the week and month out with a smile, Jolly, Joyful and I have dug up some fun things!  First, though, let’s see what Joyful has cooked up for us …

No cooking today, Gwammie … too HOT!  Just sammidges ‘n stuff, ‘k?


How ‘bout some cute critter pics  to start with …


And Joyful went in search of some funny signs …


An’ I found us a bunch o’ funny ‘toons and memes …


And it just wouldn’t be Jolly Monday without a cute animal video, now would it?  At 9 minutes, this one is a little longer than the usual, but watch as much or as little of it as you feel like … it’s guaranteed to make you smile!


We hope you enjoyed the snacks and that you’re leaving with a smile on your face today!  Remember to share those smiles with people who don’t have one of their own!  Have a safe and wonderful week!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Joyful and Jolly!!!

A Very Jolly Monday!!!

Good morning my friends, and welcome to … M-M-MONDAY!!!!  Whoa … what was that sound?  I just heard someone’s belly growling loudly … was it yours, Joe?  Okay, we better cut to the chase and see what yummy assortment of treats Joyful has cooked up for us.

Wait … Joyful … peanut butter and pickle sandwiches???  


Hey guys … next time you’re on a trip and your wife says she needs to stop for a potty break, you might want to reconsider the eyerolling and deep sighs of exasperation.  A South Carolina man said he had been driving with his wife when they stopped at the Rainbow Gas Garden in Swansea so the woman could use the restroom.  The man said he decided to go into the store and bought a Carolina Riches scratch-off ticket. He said he waited until his wife returned to the car to scratch the ticket, which revealed a $200,000 top prize!  I bet she hasn’t let him live that one down!


I put Jolly in charge of finding today’s cartoons and I think he did a pretty good job … let’s see what you think …


And just to give your soft hearts something to “Awwwwww” about, I came across a few really cute animal pictures …


How ‘bout a few funny memes?


And last, but never least, if it’s Monday morning there must be a cute animal video lying around somewhere, right?

How many people would have been willing to do everything Rebecca did to keep Bean alive?  I give her a two thumbs-up for her own sacrifices, for rescuing and caring so much for that tiny little critter!


Well, folks, our time together has gone all too fast, hasn’t it?  I hope you’re enjoyed the treats and found a chuckle or two here.  Please remember to share those beautiful smiles I see on your faces – not everyone has one of their own.  Have a great week, dear friends!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!

Jolly Monday …

{yawn}  Huh?  OH … Sorry ’bout that … good Monday morning, my friends!  C’mon in … Jolly, take their coats, please.  Overlook the mess … I was lazy this weekend!  So, did you all have a reasonably pleasant weekend?  Mine was okay … didn’t do anything special, but just being lazy with the girls home was good enough for me.  Now, Joyful has prepared some breakfast, I believe, so grab a snack and a cuppa Joe to help you wake up, and then we’ve got some fun ‘toons, pictures, and memes to start your week off with a laugh or two!


First, to warm your heart, we have some really cute animal pictures …


Then on to some cartoons!!!


Just a few memes Jolly, Joyful and I found funny …


And of course it just wouldn’t be Jolly Monday without a cute animal video, now would it?


Well, friends, that’s all we have for this Monday morning.  Keep warm and safe out there, and please remember to share those smiles!  Maybe if you know somebody who really needs a laugh or two, bring them with you next Monday morning … the more the merrier!!!  Love ‘n hugs to you all from Filosofa, Jolly, and Joyful!

Jolly Monday — Smiles Galore!

Good Monday morn, my friends!🌻  No, I’m not bright and cheerful, I’m just trying to put on a good act … is it working?  So, how was your weekend … do anything special?  Miss Goose and I were reminiscing a day or two ago about the last time we went to the book shop and out to eat at a restaurant … over 15 months ago.  That was the weekend that the governor of our state announced that all non-essential businesses must close, and I remembered how I turned to my daughter and said, “Well, it better not last past next weekend!”  We laugh about that now, some 64 weekends later!  Ah well, we’re alive and surviving, and in truth, Miss Goose and I have gotten quite comfortable with staying home in our jammies all day every day!

I promised after last week that there would be a better spread this morning, so Joyful and I have been busy li’l beavers in the kitchen this morning rustling up some grub!  Grab a plate and a cuppa and then we’ll see if we can’t start this week out with some humour, eh?

Oops!


Fred Flintstone is alive and well in Hillsborough, California!  Well, sort of anyway.  Property owner and retired publishing mogul Florence Fang has quite an interesting home and outdoor décor in this ‘posh’ subdivision of San Francisco, including sculptures of Fred, Barney and the gang from the Flintstones cartoon series.  Take a look …

The house itself is shaped like … well, I’m not sure what that shape is, exactly … and the décor is whimsical, to say the least!  Well … the people of Hillsborough apparently didn’t like whimsical, but preferred stodgy, brick and mortar homes that looked just like their own, so they complained to the city and the city filed a lawsuit against Ms. Fang.  She counter-sued and the whole thing turned into a comical brouhaha, but at long last (this has been going on since 2019) the lawsuits are settled and the important thing is that Fred and the gang get to stay!  I’m sure the neighbors are green with envy!


And now, we have some cute pictures to share with you today!


So, are you ready for this week’s cartoons, courtesy of Phil over at Phil’s Phun?


And I couldn’t resist some of these memes …


I hope you have … what … oh yes!  Thanks for reminding me, Jolly!  It just wouldn’t be Jolly Monday without a cute animal video now, would it?  Jolly picked this one, for he loves baby critters!


And, as they say in the movies, that’s a wrap, folks … for today, anyway.  We hope you have a safe and happy week.  Remember to share those smiles when you see someone who looks like they need one, okay?  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly & Joyful!
