Patti,
Good to smile this morning they were all so funny-
The best one for me is the scientist and the no bell prize.

The paper bag one is good too it means he russells (makes noise) when he walks.

Heehee--I'm SO glad you liked those funnies! ((hugs)) I'd never heard them before. (grin)

There's a good sized rainstorm sweeping in this evening. But for Oregon--well, that's pretty much the norm. I truly do envy you your snows!

Thanks again for your encouraging comments. You are just a dear.

Please greet Abe for me, too. And Merry Christmas!!!

Pretty funny ones! They did make me grin and groan! Which is a good thing for a day when I just got out of a stay in the hospital. But I am fine and looking forward to Christmas.

Haha! I think Russell would be for the noise (rustle, rustle) that the paper pants would make when walking, kind of like corderoy does!
