We have a new roof – after several years of needing one.
This is a view of our deck during the second day of the job. (it’s been raining, so it took a little longer than usual)
The fruit stays in the window sill since Joe usurped the fruit basket for his bills.
We were all given hams for Christmas today at work.
And even though I don’t eat ham, I went and got mine anyway. I’ll give it to my or Joe’s family for our Christmas dinner.
But anyway the hams were being given out in the garage. This is one of the rooms we had to go through to get there. It was cool to see these old file cabinets.
Pre-computer days.
Hmmm.
Was the U.S. Army needing something?
OR, is Wal-Mart selling these things now?
Original ticket price, $13 million.
But for a limited time only, $32.99!
We were involved in the Soddy-Daisy Christmas Parade and passed this old car.
Wow! Obviously it’s been sitting there a while.
These need a little polishing, but they are still pretty.
They seem like the kind of thing a grandmother would own. Chances are stuff like this is not made anymore.
This is the door I come in through at work.
Why there were so many newspapers stacked in the stairwell is beyond me. I stopped asking questions long ago – out loud at least.
Did we get more orders than usual – OR did we lose some?
It’s probably some other good reason, right?
Today was Thanksgiving.
We went to my sister-in-law’s house for lunch. (We went to my father’s for dinner later on – so we had to pace ourselves with the food.)
Anyway, she always puts out a lot of snacks before the meal, and this table is generally where everyone congregates most of the time.
I liked the feel of the light and the empty plates. The aftermath of the pre-meal.
I’ve had breakfast; a Thanksgiving lunch, and a Thanksgiving dinner. HOW can I possibly be hungry right now?
I’m not sure, but since this was spray-painted on the side of one of our buildings, chances are it was left there by one of our employees.
Hmmm.
No comment.

That’s what the name is on the pack of matches I found recently. They are actually still in business in Pittsburgh, Pa.
I think I will have to send them this photo of their matches. Surely they don’t print this image any longer!
I found this package of matches several months ago; and for the life of me, I cannot remember where I found them. Hmmm. Somewhere in our house – inside a box or something. But anyway, I never opened them until a couple of days ago.
Imagine my surprise – and laughter!
Someone must have thought it was a good idea at the time.
I found this at work – in my office, of all places. I have no idea where it came from, but it’s pretty cool.
It reminds me of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab; but it’s actually the inside of a very old lightbulb.
Very old. And broken, I might add. It has long since worked, but is has held onto its charm.
Gee. I hope they can say that about me when I get old.
