by the way

Oh, here I am sitting with a heating pad on my knee and an autopsy show on tv. Ack, Der Bingle and friends woud cringe.  Summer already left – two hours ago – when I watched a show about face transplants. Yes, it is Tuesday on TLC.

But at least there was a nice little part –  a Pier One commercial with the little shiny VW ornament and the caption: By golly, let’s get jolly. Uh, I guess you had to be here, watching it, hearing the music; in writing, “by golly, let’s get jolly” has a lot of letters that are really dragging their little tails.

So. we are doing the old back and forth conversation about how much to decorate the Peanut Butter Cafe & Roadhouse. Today, I made a wreath and used the rich, deeply colored LED bulbs and they were great, but the wreath looks like a tumor . . . so I’ll be redoing it.

127 on December 1, 2008

My grandmother was born on December 1, 1881 – so yesterday she would have been 127 years old.  She used to get an orange for Christmas. Now, today, I saw a lighted cow lawn decoration at Meijers. I was too stunned to take out my phone and take a picture, so I will go back with my real camera and get some shots. I don’t know if I will show them to my friend “Moo” or not.

Oh, someone already did that and you can see it on flickr HERE
