Last night, Dave gave me my latest Mr. Potato Head. I think he is trying to get me geared up for the football season. Our household loves the Greenbay Packers.. It gets a little confusing for friends and family because Dave is originally from Chicago (born and raised). He is a huge Cubs fan, but loves the Packers.. However, the rest of his family does NOT share the same feelings.. Let's just say that this last Sunday when the Packers and Bears played our phone was ringing off the hook.... And well, I am officially a Packer fan by default.. If you can't beat them, you might as well join them.
So, why did he get you a Mr. Potato Head?
Well, as some of you may or may not already know.. I have a small (ha!) collection of Mr. & Mrs. Potato heads. When I say small I have a least 25 of them?? At least!! Over 9 years ago, I received my first Mr. Potato head from an employee who was leaving CVL. I was told I had to collect Potato heads because I was from Idaho and should never be without a potato. Thanks A lot!!! When this collection started, I never knew I would uncover or receive sooo many different Potato heads.. I have everything from sports, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Transformers and different holiday Spuds.. It's a strange collection but it's mine and I actually do love them! And unfortunately they do remind me of Idaho! 
I guess I know what to do for your next birthday!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute potato head...who gave you the first one? i love your collection too.
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy
ReplyDeleteRich K. was the one who gave me my first Mr. Potato Head. I have one of his original ones.. (It was from the first time he left CVL.) And when he came back the second time (we were in the rotunda) He was happy to see the add-on's.. ha!
LOL! I had no idea you collected Potato Heads. Very unique! I'm sure it makes a great conversation piece :)
