I've got news for YOU! Big Bugs are all over in Owensboro Kentucky! They are scattered all over our town. You just have to find them. A very special little girl named Gem, is willing to take us on a "bug hunt"

Here we go!

At first we see a sign at the Owensboro High school on Frederica Street. It says the Bugs are coming in Owensboro Kentucky to the Botanical Gardens.

Cheryl~ It makes it even more fun for ME to use her in the advertising... of course I adore my little "Gem" and love spending time with her and throwing in a little work while I am at it....

Jul 11, 2008 03:28 AM

Jan~ Yes she is so precious! I am going to have to eventually put her new brother in somehow, although she thinks SHE is the "star" which, of course she IS!!

She loved the hunt because it was something fun and different to do, but she got tired of it fast because it was SO HOT that day... so we had to stop before she called child labor on me, LOL.

Carol~ Nothing like killing two birds with one stone, huh? She wants to go looking for the rest of the bugs, so we may just have to "bug hunt" some more.....

Jul 12, 2008 06:22 AM

Debbie~ Yes I must agree with you she IS THE CUTEST and she loved going on the bug hunt. The heat wasn't the greatest thing, but we still had fun and I tied it in with work- if you can call it work, LOL.

Uggg, I HATE bugs, and FL has some of the wierdest anywhere!

Ronald~ These are nice "Bugs" because they are NOT real, they are created and designed by human talent and very interesting to see!

Now I could use that adorable little girl on my sales team! Very entertaining post. Bugs that are not real, now I could probably deal with those kind.
