FIRST OF ALL, I would like to take this time right now to give thanks to all who sent along best wishes for Bud and me on our anniversary yesterday. I'll get to visitin' y'all today!!!! Your kindness and thoughts mean a great deal to both of us!!!! And as for today's post....
There could be many interpretations for this word prompt this week.  A scoop of ice cream, a pooper scooper [hey, I have pets!!], a heavy yard implement such as a scoop shovel, or perhaps obtaining a piece of news interest like 'getting the scoop' of the story at hand.  What to do?  Which can I choose?  Well, if you've followed me for some time now, I think you may remember that I like to collect the unusual basket or reed-woven items.  Baskets, mainly for one purpose, to use as an electrical outlet cover-upper.  I really dislike having a clean, decorated room with painted walls, and then...where does the eye go?  Yes, for me the nasty looking, unattractive wall sockets spoil the whole room.  So, if one is exposed, I cover them by making a basket arrangement to hide 'em...

And, of course, with two cats...what else? Yep, you guessed it a CAT POOPER SCOOPer!!! But, really, do I want my blog associated with this scoop? I guess so, since it's part of my post. [see #5 in list of "WORLD DOMINATION" below!!!] Hope we don't have too many of these kinda prompts in the future photo hunts....
