I asked Granny yesterday, reckon how many of these little PEZ candy dispensers Allee has that I have bought her? She said, "I counted them this weekend as I was cleaning her room......147". That made me think of what I had spent on her since October......some quick math......

PEZ Dispensers-147@ $1.07=$157.29 Approx.
Chokit' Milk-110@ $1.62=$178.20 Approx
M&M's-110@ $1.07=$117.70 Approx
Candy bars-40@ $1.29=$51.60 Approx
Corn Dogs & Burgers-25@ $1.29=$32.25 Approx
Ice Cream- 20@ $.55= $11.00 Approx
Misc Toys, Coloring Books, Crayons, Stuffed Animals, and Christmas gifts for her and her Bubba $300.00. Approx

Total.....About $848.00
Was it worth it? Don't be ridiculous! With every new PEZ "toy" I get a brand new smile! And with everything else too! You can't buy happiness, but you can sure do some fertilization!

#148....A $1.07 Smile....pretty cheap, isn't it! What makes you Happy?

Best Regards!

147?  WOW!  Small price to pay for so many smiles.  The photos are just the icing on the cake.  I really like this one, Jim.  I like the Popeye dispenser too.  Does Dolly know who Popeye is?

Thanks guys, my Dolly is worth every penny. I have many shots of her, she is a beauty, and I need to get them now! By the time she is five she will weigh 300 lbs! LOL!

Yes Craig, she knows Popeye and all the others too! Kids are fast learners, even at three!

Always smiling and bringing that sunshine! What's a smile like that worth in the ugly world we live in?


Best Regards!
