    Can yawn be an adjective too? It's what I'm feeling from all this cold weather! Ok, maybe adjective isn't the write word, nevermind!

    Oooh, I liked the way you did yours! But, you're an old pro at the Alphabe Thursday thingy and I'm a newbie with little time to play before it ends. Boo-hoo! =(

    And it is contagious too....it always seems that when someone else yawns, I do too...tired or not. Strange???

    What a cute, cute post.

    My Granddaughter and I do this to each other all the time...try to make each other yawn. She is wayyy better at it then I am. I think that's because she just wears me out!

    Thanks for a charming link!

    You are a gem!
