What a nice picture that perfectly captures the joy of the season!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both you and Tatjana!
Thank you Susan. Wishing you all the best!
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Sarah! I bet you’re beautiful, too.
Merry Christmas to you, Tatjana and everyone else here at LPDC!
To you, as well. You’re getting WAY ahead of me with jokes on Black Coffee! That’s the trouble with getting old – one falls out of the loop.
Looks like I got another one on Black Coffee today.
After 90 years, I know you’ve got tons of good ones hiding under your hat!
Yeh, but declining memory and unsuitability for polite company keeps them there, Cowpoke!
If that picture doesn’t say joyful, I don’t know what does.
Merry Christmas to you guys.
Merry Christmas, Grandfather! (And Grandmother too!)
There is joy there David! Life is what we make of it. Best wishes to you.
Woops! Out of order (the story of my life?)
Best wishes for you Madison.
Thank you, Madison. Merry Christmas and best wishes for you.
Merry Christmas Mr. Dave. I hope it’s a grand one for you and family.
Would you consider sharing some of your Christmas artwork with us? You’ve an amazing gift.
(Please do not post a drawing of a fruitcake.) hahaha
LOL! Fruitcake jokes get me every time!
Well, Len, how about a LIVING fruitcake ( see reply to Bill, above)?
Then it will have to do, Dave. Besides, at 90 years old I think it’s safe to say you definitely have the shelf life of a fruitcake! 😉
Bill, I haven’t done any graphic artwork since high school, over 70 years ago, and I’ve already posted all three surviving pictures elsewhere. Sorry. Life took me in other directions.
Some folks I know think the figure on the left in the picture above IS a fruitcake.
Merry Christmas to you and family, Bill.
Carry a big stick Mr. Dave. You can fight off the squirrels.
Well, Bill, I’m ashamed to say that some folks who have ridden with me in a car I am driving say I AM a squirrel!
(Live long enough and it’s surprising the monikers one might collect.)
Mr. Dave,
I am sending you a 5 lb. fruitcake, and a jug of brandy to pour over it. Drink the brandy, and throw the fruitcake at varmints.
If you’re serious, Thank you! Tell Len to give you my mailing address. Us old folks need all the kindness we can get!
