Chuckles and Chortles

Happy new week, everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our weather has been very mild, so Saturday afternoon we headed downtown to mingle with the holiday shoppers and enjoy the outdoors. Here we are by the water where you don't see a single boat behind us. They're all hibernating and will be back in the spring.



I even got a chance to park my behind on Santa's chair. I kept a lookout for him because I wanted to ask for a tropical vacation for the most amazing man in the world and me. We've been reasonably good this year and I think we've earned one. But Santa never showed up. So no trip for us...



I guess we'll have to settle for some humour...







Have a great day!

    Hey Martha, I must appreciate that grand Santa's chair. It is always a pleasure to read your posts on Mondays.

    I'm very glad they fixed the tree light thing. If the new LED ones work like the light bulbs version, they should never go out.

      I love the new lights. Much better than the other ones.

    Ginjas! LOL. Also, I sympathize with Joseph and the IKEA manger. (Am stealing them too!)

      No one can escape the stress of trying to put together IKEA furniture :)

    Such cute pictures with you and your hubby and you trying to get Santa to visit you so you could give your Christmas wish to him :) Glad to hear the weather has been mild; we have snow this morning :)

    LOL with the cartoon with the manger from IKEA :)

      It's so surprising that you have snow and we don't! I'd like some for Christmas but that's about it :)

    Don't just park uopur but in santa's chair. Be Santa Claus yourself! I like the one about the unionized lights. Many people have no idea how the old lights worked.

      You are right. I should be Santa Clause :)

      Eventually no one will know about the old lights...or at least have first hand experience with them. I like the new ones better.

    Hey! I remember when one light burnt out and the ALLLLL went out. Oh man. The horror of it all. The horror, I say, the horror.

    I feel for Joseph. I can never manage to build anything that I purchased at IKEA.

      Joseph is another victim! Putting together IKEA furniture can be quite frustrating :)

    Love the pictures and the chuckles are good too. I don't think I've ever seen an empty docks like that. I think the Ikea manger got me the most hehe Thanks Martha!

    These are all truly hysterical. Sorry Santa was a no show for you. That's not supposed to happen when you believe. Charge the vacation and send him the bill!

    You and your hubby make an adorable couple. Hope you get your Christmas wish. I also remember the old lightbulb frustration. -Jenn

    LOL! Especially the lights! I have many memories of my father going through a string of lights on the tree trying to track down the burned out bulb. I think it would be wonderful for you to take another tropical vacation! If I were Santa, I'd bring it to you!

      Don't I wish, Louise! But not for awhile. This year it will be all about selling our home, buying another, moving, settling in...oof... I'm tired and we haven't even started yet...LOL... There won't be a vacation for some time.
