Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 18, 2022

I want a tattoo!

Well maybe, if it first doesn’t cause her heart failure…

The Grinch has met his match!

$49.95 for all that? These days that would be an amazing bargain. More likely it would be more like at least $449.95!

The best one was my daughter at 16 months. She was just about to go into full panic sobbing and when I lifted her up she left Santa with a very wet knee. My son at 4., looked equal parts bored and embarrassed.

They should have bought the deluxe package. Just to see them bring her in for the tattoo would have been worth the expense.

Another favorite. I think I saw these characters in “To Kill a Mockingbird”.

Hat hair!

Static electricity!

That smile puts Wednesday Addams’ to utter shame.

Anyone else singing along to Dad’s brochure reading? Partridges and pear trees come to mind.

Hmmm Beer koozie

Alice is crackling and grinding at the same time…

(ಠ 益 ಠ)

From what little we see, Petey is actually smiling for the camera.

IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

Does anyone use mousepads anymore?

There is an air of quiet reserve around Petey in the picture.

I’m with Alice- It would have made a nicer photo.

I think I have never seen a more accurate portraiture of Alice.

Alice’s hair reminds me of the last time I used a blow dryer. I went to college in Michigan’s upper peninsula, one day I was running late in the morning and my hair was still wet from my shower so I decided to use my roommate’s blow dryer so I wouldn’t have to go out in the cold winter weather with wet hair. This was back in the late 70’s so the drier didn’t have the kind of attachments they have today for fine curly hair. When I left for class it looked like I had a giant afro from the extra curl and static cling.

A Christmas classic, and source of the temporary seasonal avatar that I use over on that social networking site which shall not be named.

As a professional photographer myself those 20 8 X 10’s would cost $300.00 at my business
