THE ARTISTIC FAMILY

You've read my posts about SWMBO, aka Judy, and her work on the mural she painted on an old fence in our back yard.

And you may recall that I said the artistic talent runs deep in her family.

Two daughters and a son all have incredible artistic veins in their bodies.

The latest evidence?

The BRD's latest totem, a ceramic display that she created in her home workshop.

The photos show the two sides of the totem.

I think this piece is absolutely beautiful.

I hope you like it too.

(BTW, for those of you who may not have been paying attention, the BRD stands for Beautiful Rich Daughter.

Her real name is Gayle.)

FROGGIE WENT A-COURTIN'

SANTA CLAUS CONFUSION

I was looking through my picture file and ran across a strange collection of photos.

Of a Santa impersonator (yours truly).

I couldn't make up my mind which picture to use.

So, could you give me a little help here?

Here are your choices.

Mad Santa

Sad Santa

Bad Santa

and Silly Santa

So?

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

All right, all right, Gentle Readers, un-bate your breath, I'm here.

I forgot for awhile that it was Friday and then I had some business to take care of but now I am back in the virtual saddle, ready to satisfy your yearnings for a chuckle, a tee-hee, a guffaw.

Yes, my friends, it is time once again for the Friday Funnies.

To begin . . .

As you can see I am absolutely overcome with the Christmas spirit(s).

Remember this: it is that time of year when we pack on the pounds.  

So prepare with professionalism, preserve your preadolescence, avoid prohibitionists, and pontificate no phurther (sorry, I cheated with that last one.)

In short, Gentle Readers, have a marvelous weekend!

And always remember to keep laughing.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .
