Necklace

Virginia Okinga was showing a colorful necklace to a customer, so I asked her to show it to me.

I don't look good in necklaces.

Jon Smith

Splish, Splash

Splish, Splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night.
A rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub,
Thinkin' everything was alright.

Well, I stepped out the tub
And put my feet on the floor.
I wrapped my towel around me and
I opened the door.

And then a-splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath.
Well, how was I to know
There was a party goin' on?

Norman Love

Did I ever mention that Fort Myers confectioner Norman Love is amazing?

Help!

This is no time for jokes.  What do you really want me to do next?

A Mistake and a Lost Bet

Yesterday's out-of-focus photograph reminded me that sometimes I like my mistakes as much as -- or more than -- the ones that come out as I planned.

If I knew what I did, I would do it again.

And, whatever bet this guy lost, I'll bet he wouldn't do it again.

I Know, I Know

Yes, it is out of focus.  But I like it.

So, I guess this closes out the holiday season.  You have my wishes for a happy, healthy and successful   New Year.
