11/22/16

As it came time for Vernon and Fern to exchange their presents to one another, Fern seemed certain that she'd gotten the French lace bed-jacket she'd requested while Vernon couldn't escape the feeling that he'd been given a new Lucite topper for the tree, which had been strangely naked at its tip so far this season...
Although some members of the family found bachelor Uncle Melvin more than a little nerdy, no one - least of all Carol Beth - could deny that he always gave the BEST presents at Christmastime!
Chip Dontia was always a big show-off down at Silver Springs pool, but fortunately, whenever his gymnastic exploits met with disaster due to excess suntan oil on the pavement, his dentist father could patch him up right away at a substantial discount.

I wish I had an Uncle Melvin...

...and a Chip Donita!

My apologies to Mr. Dontia for spelling his name wrong.

Not so much after an Uncle Melvin as I would like to nibble on a Chip. But don't worry about his last name. Chip doesn't mind. It's his immigrant father Ortho who is finicky about the spelling! LOL

Uncle Melvyn is a spiffy dresser, too!
