Happy New Year!

Santa has lumbered on to colder climes. "Prince Valiant's King Arthur" watches over the New Year's arrival.

A Lot of Promises

...from Our Nation's Capitol!

Ho Ho Ho

It looks like Santa is bringing a second storm system. We still haven't dug out from the Big Dump of 2009.

Bizarre Holiday, National Suckling Pig Day, 18 Dec

Wishing everyone a warm place for the duration. We have been traveling back and forth to West Virginia to visit M's brother in the VA hospital. The holidays are to be endured in the most graceful way possible. How about a dinner with a friend?

Bizarre Holiday, Wear Brown Shoes Day, 4 December

Whoops! Can't neglect this Bizzare Holiday. I couldn't find the origin of this holiday but because this is a Japanese matchbox label we will celebrate when Santa brings me new shoes. No alterations to this label so maybe one can find the shoes at that phone number.

Bizarre Holiday, Bathtub Party Day, 5 December

Yesterday was a snow day here. It would have been great to soak in a hot tub and do 'pretend spa'. This collage is old but still works. Collage of images from a matchbox label, poster stamp, 30's magazine and digital bubbles.
