Hi everyone!
We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Did you miss me last week?
I have a great tip this week, but mean Mom wouldn’t listen to me when I offered it to her.
She made this lottery tree for a friend’s birthday party. She put a branch in a small glass bowl filled with sand. I suggested she fill the bowl with lucky pennies instead of sand, but she said the party had a beach theme. I think she was just too cheap to fill it with pennies. 
Don’t you think my idea was better?
Before I go, I want to let Bionic Basil’s family know we are praying for him and his family. He announced on Sunday that he doesn’t have long on this earth. We are very sad. To visit him, click here.
I agree, Penny! I like your idea of lucky pennies. And they should all be bright, shiny new pennies too.
I’m purring lots for Basil. I was very sad to hear how ill he is.
Thank you, I agree. We were sad to learn of Basil too.
Pennies sound like a great idea but the scratch offs lottery tree is genius! We are so sad for Basil’s family. He is a furbulous friend and we are also praying for them.
Thank you. We agree, Basil is a fabulous friend. XO
lottery tree sounds so FUN !
Enjoy Miss =^x^=
Thank you.
We were incredibly sad to hear of Basil’s diagnosis……we are praying for him. The lottery tree is a very cool idea – your Mom always has good ideas!
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you. We are praying for Basil and his family.
We like your idea of the pennies, Penny. We are so sad about Basil. We sure send him some good thoughts. You all have a good day.
Thank you. We hope you had a nice day.
I see a pussy willow branch in the glass bowl ♥ My pussy willows are still happy and I love looking at them every day… ♥ I don’t know Penny, maybe it would have gotten a little heavy with pennies in it. Great idea your Mom came up with for a birthday gift though!!!
So sad about your kitty friend, Basil. Sending prayers.
You are most observant , that is a pussy willow branch. 🙂
That’s fantastic Penny, great idea! We sure are sad about dear Basil too.
Thank you. We are so sad about Basil.
We think your mom could have sprinkled some pennies on top of the sand, at least!
She should have.
Clever, Penny. I did miss you last week. So sorry about the pending loss. That’s tough.
Thank you for the fun comment on my blog. We were glad when our cucumber vines died back. ~nods~ He canned over 70 jars of pickles! As for Zima, we stocked up in a way. Drinking one a day means we only have seven total left. Sad, but I just couldn’t resist that refreshing taste on all these hot days. ~grin~ Best wishes, my dears!
Thank you. Wow! That is a lot of pickles. Do you sell them or give them out at the holidays?
Clever idea with the lucky pennies. I’m happy to hear you didn’t use that sand for other purposes! Although I don’t know Basil, I all too well know that pain of losing a beloved fur baby.
Thank you. I should have done that to her sand so she would have to use the pennies.
What a fun tree! I think you idea with the pennies is great and maybe mom will use it next time 🙂
Thank you. XO
Sending purrs and blessings for Bionic Basil and family.
Thank you.
Penny, we think your penny idea is purrfect. Honestly, we’d rather find a beach full of pennies than sand, anyway.
We are so sad to hear this news about dear Basil. Our purrs, thoughts, and prayers are with him and his family.
Thank you. Very sad about Basil.
Great tip Penny…I think it is worth about 10 bucks!!
We were sorry to read Basil’s News. He has been such a fierce fighter.
Hugs madi your bfff
Thank you. We are sad about Basil too. XO
I like the pennies idea best. Kitties are always right about things.
Prayers for Bionic Basil. It’s always so very hard.
Have a purrfect Happy Tuesday. My best to your mom. ♥
Thank you. Mom sends her best to you. XO
Penny, your idea was just purrfect. Why don’t humans every listen to us?? We’re running over right now to wish Basil well.
Thank you. XO
I think your idea is excellent! Too bad your mom won’t use those pennies. But the lottery tree is such a fun idea 🙂
Thank you 🙂
So sorry to hear about Basil. I wish his family the best.
Your idea is very good, but maybe your mom is saving those pennies for your treats.
Thank you. I hope she gets us treats.
We think your lucky penny idea was great, but mom has the right way with sand for the beach theme. The lottery tree is always a wonderful gift or a raffle prize to receive. We are sad to hear about Basil. We hope everyone in Basil’s family is doing well during this horrible time. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.
Thank you. We hope you have a nice week too.
That lottery tree was a neat idea . Of course your pennies would have made it better.
Thank you. XO
The lottery tree is a great idea, and so are your pennies. I am very sad that Basil is so ill.
We are sad about Basil too. XO
Maybe she could have filled it with Spanish doubloons from an old shipwreck. That is kind of beachy.
Where could she get those? 🙂
Lucky pennies would be great, and after everyone picks a lotto card from the tree, they can grab a penny so as to do the scratch off part. Brilliant!
Praying for your friend, that if it’s his time, his transition is smooth and painless.
Thank you. XO
Cool! You could use the pennies to scratch them off too! Your idea is pretty cool, Penny!
Thank you. XO
Great idea, Penny! I hadn’t heard about Basil 🙁
Thank you. Very sad about Basil. XO
A bowl full of pennies would come in very handy for the peeps to buy a box of tasty treats for us furries – we think your idea is a great one.
We are sad to read about your friend Basil – soft woos and gentle hugs to him and his family.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Thank you. XO
We totally think your idea was the better one Penny. And we always luv seein’ your bootyful face. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Thank you. XO
Penny, we think your idea is brilliant! We don’t know why your mom didn’t agree. We’re sorry to hear about your friend. Sending purrs.
Thank you. XO
We think your idea was pawsome. Maybe she could have filled it with both sand and pennies.
Yes, that is a good idea.
I think that tip was a GREAT idea. Maybe she can use a smaller jar next time and fill it with pennies.
Which is heavier, Penny…sand or pennies? Hmm, toss up…
We are very sad about Basil too.
I think the pennies would be heavier.

I agree. Pennies would have made excellent “sand”.
Thank you 🙂
