Political Ambitions

Michelle called me a couple of nights ago and said that Jeremy had gotten involved in politics.   He is running for Senator from the State of Kansas.  (I don't know how he is getting around the residency requirement.)   Michelle said the centerpiece of his campaign platform was going to be the development of renewable energy, in the form of wind farms, across the state.  She asked if I could 'Photoshop' a picture of Jeremy standing in front of a wind farm that he could use in a campaign poster. 

Of course I immediately denied ever photoshopping any photographs.  I may have occasionally adjusted the brightness or contrast of an old photograph before putting it on the StalkerClan but I would never fabricate or somehow falsify a photograph.   She sounded desperate so I told her I would see what I could find.

I dug through my collection of Schell Family photos for an hour or two.  After about 500 photos of Jeremy wrestling with Justin, or holding up rabbit ears behind one of his parents, I found  a photo I thought might work.  I 'tweaked' it just a little and it came out something like this...

I thought it looked pretty good so I emailed it to Michelle.  She called me back a little later all upset,  "Oh no, that will never work!  He looks too SHIFTY in that photo.  We will have to start all over.  I'll take a new photograph of him and email it to you."

I have to agree, he does have that Richard Nixon, 'I am not a crook'  look on his face.  But hey, Nixon made it all the way to the White House.  I'm afraid this new political campaign may be worse than the one that just ended.

Friday's Fun Foto #5

Here is another photo from Luci's collection...

Every time I see it I can't help but think of an old TV Show.

Sometimes it's...	but most of the time it's...

Christmas Indecision

I'm still trying to decide what I can give everyone for Christmas this year.  The Christmas Tree Ornaments I mentioned earlier would be nice but they would only be out for people to see for a short time each December. 

I'm thinking now about getting jigsaw puzzles made for everyone...

A jigsaw puzzle could be used year-round.  The little kids could play with it too.  Puzzles would be easier to ship and I wouldn't have to worry about breakage. 

I think I like the jigsaw puzzle idea best.   Should I order the 100 piece puzzle shown or would a 500 piece puzzle be more fun?  Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

EVERY HEN IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

On their way back to the feeding ground to eat their afternoon feedings. Jeffery Hen thought the unusual movement might be another egg. "Crystal Fawn won't be a year old till next month," she said to herself.

Jeffery Hen thought she better play it safe and go and find some egg shell and some crushed gravel just to be sure of it. When she got to the place where the stuff was usually kept, several hens were already there trying to get the same stuff she come to get.

Patricia Hen said, "I had this feeling inside me right here and I thought it felt like an egg or something."

Jeffery Hen said, "I had the same thing. I came here just to make sure."

Vicki Hen said, "It seems like all of the hens around here are having this feeling."

Henriette left the triples with Henry and came around and said, "I all of the sudden, had this feeling inside of me."

Before long all of the hens in the community wanted to know what was going on inside of them. The elder hen came around wanting to know what was happening.

Jeffery Hen said, "Everybody seems to have some kind of feeling inside of them that puts them in mind of an egg."

The elder hen said, "It was those seeds those roosters brought to the picking ground yesterday. The ones that everybody liked. I am sure you all got to eat some of them. This happened to me and all of the other hens when they brought them in the last time. All of us thought we were with egg also."

Jeffery Hen said, "Just to come right down to just thinking about it, I don't remember the last time anybody has had an egg."

All of the hens gathered around thinking this was kindly strange.

Patricia Hen said, "The last egg laid was the one we just visited. I don't know anybody that laid an egg in almost a year now. What could be going on here?"

The elder hen said, "We will just have to wait and see."

Mom's First Manicure (in a long time)

Doesn't Mom look beautiful in this pic?

I had such a great time with her last week. We took a Tuesday and just did a girls' day. I'm so lucky to have such a great mom!

Love you
Crystal
