Hump Day Happy

Something that makes me happy: The way the lights from the Christmas tree reflect off a bedroom door in our house.

 

 

Do YOU want something to be happy about? Look; it’s the Christmas Gecko!


He can’t get you a lower rate on your car insurance, but if you comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, he will hasten to find what in this book will make you happy.

The Christmas Gecko was provided by codyfrizbeejr. Thank you, Rob, and I’m sending good thoughts to you during a bad time.

Memories

This is Hallmark’s 1995 Holiday Memories Barbie. She was designed to commemorate 85 years of Hallmark, who described her as wearing an early twentieth century outfit (with “faux fur”) to go shopping for holiday postcards on a snowy afternoon. I think she’s got the right idea. In these days of e-mail, texting, and easy accessibility by phone, there’s something special about getting a card, a letter, or a postcard in snail-mail. Receiving and sending cards are two of the things I like best about December.

On this day last year, The Compound was in upheaval, Tim was in Maine, and Rex was lonesome. And as always, I was thinking about my friend John and imagining what trouble he’d be charming his way out of if he were still around.
