We just started the application paperwork for the adoption process. However, with all the politics recently, the process is assured to be a lengthy one. The government in Haiti must approve any adoption to ensure the gnome is eligible for adoption.

Is Sandra aware of your "gnome's" procilivity for violence against innocent flamingos?

Can you provide a loving, gnurturing home to a gneedy gnome?
THAT is really FUNNY...

I think I understand the embarrassment one feels when their gnome goes astray.

We travel with our pet tyrannosaur (cleverly named "Rex").

Lumatic,

Thank you so much for sharing images of Stella, Farfel, and all of your gnomes. They're all so cute.

However, we firmly believe that our gnome is a tree hugging, granola eating, democrat. Come on, check out their outfits, we even think they wear Birkenstocks! Hippies, if you will, from a time long, long ago.

Furthermore, they are not promiscuous. They make baby gnomes by falling in love, and then hugging and kissing. Just like our parents made us and just like our parents explained to us how babies are made!

See . . .

For all things Gnome, you need this book:

Gnomes: Amazon.ca: Wil Huygen: Books

I still have the copy my parents gave me in 1978.

No:

We are Airstream purists; we only travel with two flamingos. They are all the protection we need.

Gnome Spotted At Yosemite Upper Pines, Site #164

Our gnome at site #164 in Yosemite's Upper Pines campground.

Unfortunately he was out frolicking with the trolls and faeries when we were parked in front of Half Dome. Lost photo opportunity!
