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,
