First things first, some much sought after pictures of Zoey in her cast.
As I was looking through some of the photos on my computer, I came across these that I had scanned in from my Mom. The year is 1981 (I can tell because that’s the year the Smurfs first appeared on TV). I’ve already put these notes over on flickr, but thought I’d just copy the thoughts here also.
Picture 1: I like to think I am thanking someone for the Barbie. Really it looks like I am saying something snotty, “I already have this one.”. My brother on the other hand, looks pretty pleased. I can’t tell if it was GI Joe or Hot Wheels.
Check out the tin foil on the antenna. We needed to see those Smurfs clearly!
Picture 2: Cowboy boots! Does anyone use tinsel anymore? What a mess that must have been for our parents to clean.
Do you remember which Barbie that was? I think I got the same one! LOL
Tinsel was forbidden in our house. We had a cat once that ate the tinsel. The cat was OK, but the image of pulling a long strand of tinsel out of the cat’s butt is forever burned in my brain.
Merry Christmas!
I love tinsel BEFORE Christmas but it’s not my friend when we’re trying to take the tree down and drag it through the front door with a minimum of mess. I never see tinsel anymore, though I think it makes the tree look awesome. Maybe I’m just not looking very carefully. Hope your Christmas is great.
Yep, we use the tinsel…..we also have a fake tree….I just put the attachment on the vaccuum and suck it all off when it’s time to take the tree down.
