hi, i'm gumby ~
no, you're not ~
yes i am, look at me! & i'm vintage too! ~
nope ~
i'm gumby, dammit!
nope, if you had the benefit of a bump of wisdom you'd know that you're only a vintage knockoff made by the papco company, not a real gumby ~
but happy april fool's day anyway ;)

p.s. this post includes 2 old images gathered from the internet years ago..

sally!
that was a fun surprise today getting your kitty card in the mail! i hope it's ok with you, i just added a picture above to this post because i want to keep these new guys right as they are arranged that way :D
you know it's been so long i can't remember if i passed up one of these in bendy form way back in my early ebay days? i did save a few internet pix when i found them, now i wish i could find one because he seems like a cool vintage gumby friend, right? i love the old image of him dressed up with gumby in the doll trunk.. he always reminds me of the old baskin robbins ice-cream spoon bendy like here in my toy catalogue: https://friendlyghost.typepad.com/photos/ghost_toy_catalogue/bendies.html
i don't know if you've ever seen this album? it's Huge, literally everything from over the decades, & it plays a familiar 'domestic bliss mix' that you'll surely recognize: ;) http://www.brensgumbyland.com/ghostgalleryghosttoycatalogalbum.html (sound up)
reminds me did you get to see the toyroom tour i tucked into that thumbdrive?
well, hope you're doing good & catching a break? this freak snowstorm has been kinda a blast! never happened in april here before in all recorded history, more snow may come, we've already lost one of our juniper bushes because there was so Much wet snow that it weighed down all the trees, including our cherry trees which are covered in blossoms, made them hang down over our windows & everything, very weird! our lights did flicker several times though, so i'm hoping no more power outs!!!! nooooo!!!! i need my internet!! lol
take care chica!

I lovved seeing those snow videos you made, Bren! And I'm glad that you liked your surprise and glad these guys made it safely and didn't get cracked during shipping. You don't have to leave them on the card! The double back tape should come off easily. Sorry, I haven't checked out the thuumb drive yet, but I will soon! And I don't think I've seen these photos in the toy catalogue albums either! I'll have to come back here soon. It's been a rough day, so I'll be back.... ttyl and you take care too chica! =)

hey sally,
i kept taking videos because the snow just kept getting heavier, it was so wet & dense that it caused our cherry tree branches, already fully blooming, to hang down over our windows! very weird & cool (literally.)
