Christmas Day 2014

 

MELE KALIKIMAKA!



TIKI MAN SANTA

 Each year, Tom makes a new
holiday ornament for Margaret.

I, of course, supervise and approve
the design while
Tom, blessed with opposable thumbs,
creates the ornament

out of clay, steel, aluminum, paper,
balsawood, yarn, feathers or whatever

 is needed to create his custom ornament

to hang on the green boughs in our kitchen.
 

One of our favorite sculptures,

the real 7-foot-tall steel

TIKI MAN,

now resides in a private garden

in San Francisco.

OUR YOUNG FRIEND MS. FIONA

 

Recently, Fiona and her family shared

a holiday dinner with us.

Tom was all set to show Fiona his favorite

olive-on-on-fingertips trick

but this 3 1/2 year-old was way ahead

 of him as soon as she saw that

bowl of black olives on the table!

 

ME WITH TURTLE CATNIP TOY

from Aunt Mae Mae! I love that stuff!

 

 

I've received my Christmas morning

dish of albacore tuna.

I am now ready for my morning nap.

 

 

  

Tom, Margaret and I wish you a very

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

Fondly,
