What did you get for Christmas?

For Christmas, my kids gave me a gorgeous portrait of themselves dressed in identical black polo shirts at sunset with Lake Kedron in the background.

They couldn't wait to tell me the rrrrrrrrrest of the story:

While they were setting up the initial shot, the photographer was posing them next to a tree, this way and that, trying to get the tricky lighting just right...

...and a big old fat squirrel drops out of the tree above them, dead as a doornail. Not a scratch on him. Just...dead.

Photographer was really spooked about that. A couple of nearby kids saw it happen as well and they started nosing around trying to see what exactly caused Mr. Squirrel's demise.

My youngest daughter said the dead squirrel almost hit her!

After all most of the big box development happened on his watch.

Take that dead squirrel over to his house and nail it to the mailbox.

Poor squirrels can't find a place to live so they die and fall out of trees. Who's fault is that?

What I Got for Christmas

I got to have all four of my grown kids (and spouses), all five (plus number six pictured here) of my grandkids, and several extra stray hippies in my home for Christmas. I cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for 19 appreciative people.

Oh, and I got the entire collection of all M*A*S*H* episodes.
