I love ’em. Here’s my latest haul:

A very serious young lady who came to visit the layout asked me how many Minions there were on the layout. I had to confess I didn’t know. She then asked if I knew where they all were. I said, “no.” I promised her I would take pictures of them all and put the pictures here on the blog. We agreed she would tot up the number and e-mail so’s I would know. So, I took the pics and …… my e-mail is philt95437@comcast.net

Double click on the pics to enlarge.

You don’t believe me? First of all 13 arrived and today another 15 appeared out of nowhere lookin’ for the party to end all parties. Then all the kids from the pre-school with their mums and dads trolled in and ……. a great time was had by all.

Where’s the party?

Strange joint this for a party

Peace?

You want me to take a Minion for a ride?

Bloody dark in this tunnel

This one comes courtesy of Sister K who lives in England. I always hated Mondays when I had the misfortune to have to work. I don’t like them now that I am a miserable old curmudgeon and don’t have to work. It’s always depressed me to know that Mondays make up one-seventh of one’s life. Anyway, here’s a Minion view on Mondays with which I sympathise:
