One Down, One to Go

You know how some friendships are so strong that even when there's a great deal of time between visits, it feels like no time at all has passed? Well that's precisely how it felt this past weekend when I got together with this wonderful group of pals in Toronto.

 
It was 10 years since our last gathering, so we were long overdue. The 3 day "Summer Reunion" was the brainchild of our friends Francesca & Brian and was held at their home "Hampton House"

Mr. Sock came along to meet his Toronto fans and the entire weekend was so very, very special.

 
Scribbles will feature MUCH more about our reunion in an upcoming video, but first, it's time for me to prepare for part two of my vacation, which is 3 days at N.E.T. Campground with my buddy Doug.

 
Stay cool my friends, I'll bring you more unique Scribbles fun soon.

[Photo description: It is the 8 pals (and 1 sock puppet) who were a part of the Summer Reunion, sitting in three rows on the stairs that go from the house to the backyard, just before some of us left to return to our homes.]

SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Ken's Garden is Under High & Unsightly Security

Join Mr. Sock as he reveals why Ken's garden now includes a wall of chicken wire and netting. Plus there's also tinfoil stove burner covers. Now that we've peaked your curiosity, check out this short clip to see if it looks quite as trashy as you envision. (ps...it does) LOL!

 
I can tell you, things are really growing since this video was recorded on June 18th. I will post some updated photos soon. But for now, here's how things looked just over a week ago through the googly eyes of Mr. Sock.
