Precious Handful

photo taken May 13, 2007 • title thanks to Sybann

You guys made me melt with your entries on this one!  The references to wind-up toys, good hands, and morning sunshine were so great.  “Ready… Set… GROW” in all its incarnations was a darling pun.  And then there were the random ones. “The force is strong with this one.” Seriously???  Shanon, you are awesome.

Sybann, I chose yours.  You say it all in just two words!  The double meaning of “handful”… it applies so perfectly to this photo and to Charlie in general!  Thank you.  And thank you all ~ you make Mondays extra fun.

• • • By now you know how Mondays go ’round these parts: enter your title, caption, or Charlie commentary for the photo above in the comment section of this post and you’ll be in the running for a Wyoming care package ~ including but not limited to a naturally shed deer antler, a petrified squid, some sage, a few pieces of chert, and a Wyoming quarter.  And those of you who aren’t feeling particularly creative?   I recommend reading through the comments for some serious chuckles – they are a gift unto themselves.

    For what it’s worth, I had three thoughts that popped into my head after I went “AAAAWWWWWWWWW!”

    “Support Staff”

    “I get by with a little help from my friends.”

    and lastly…

    “It takes a Cowboy”
    (on the theme of “It takes a Village”)

    Ok, I just got a chance to come back and read all of these comments… Shreve, I don’t envy you having to choose– but I love the contests!! Also, I was about the third or fourth person with the Allstate commercial in mind.

    I do love his little smile. Almost a confident smirk…
