9/14/15

Yes, some of the villagers scoffed when Hiram turned in his old car for one with a soft top and his old wife for one with a hard top, but these adjustments kept him ticking for years to come and he died at ninety-three a most happy fella...
Ernst and Hildegarde knew that with Dieter heading off to school in the Swiss Alps that he was going to need a variety of things to keep warm, but since he already had boots, a scarf, a hat and gloves, Hildegarde got busy knitting him something else he could put to good use!
Sometimes when Jay couldn't sleep the night before a big badminton tournament, he'd slip out of bed early, head out onto the lawn and start knocking around his shuttlecock in order to ease the tension.
Everything regarding dinner went well for The Lairds, but as the time for dessert neared, Alma couldn't help but wonder just who the man to her right was and how he'd ended up joining her family during their feast!
After pouring Betty a nightcap, Bert sauntered into his bedroom to slip on his new velour bathrobe, certain that it would ignite Betty's interest, but he needn't have bothered. As soon as he came back out to the living room, he could see that his investment in a spray bottle of Royal Copenhagen cologne had already done the trick!
It was all smiles for the camera, but it was nonetheless difficult to come to grips with the fact that only one-third of the children invited to Julianne's birthday party had actually shown up.

Yikes!!!! It's not "The Village"...

It's the "Living Room of the Damned"

Armando, he beat the competition stiffly! ;-)

Knuckles, that is HILARIOUS! "Living Room of the Damned." Can you imagine how friggin' noisy that room was? Of course, children were probably a tad better behaved then in mixed company.
