Merry Christmas to all.

I have to say that we had some excitement this Christmas morning and it wasn't because of opening presents.  My parents are both elderly handicapped and we really don't do much for Christmas anymore.   My two brothers both live far away and it's me and the parents.

Oh Yeah, back to the excitement.  I got up this morning and braved the chill and went out to Jack-in-The-Box for the Supreme Croisant Sandwich Meal Deals for my parents and myself.   When I got to my parents San Leandro home my mother goes on to tell me how she saw me drive by this morning on the way out to get the breakfast  (I live two homes away from them on the same street).  She said that she went out to get the newspaper and found that someone had sabotaged our holiday lighting display with the lighted reindeer and spiral lighted tree.

Some one mounted the buck on top of the doe in an X-rated position last night.   Can't you just see it all lit up in front of these senior citizen's house two reindeer making more baby reindeer.

My mother was ticked off because she had just bought them this year to replace the ones that my sisters in law relocated while cleaning the house for my mother's return from the hospital.   She was so proud of her new display with the reindeer being animated and moving their heads and all.

Some damage was done to the buck during the mounting.  Yikes.

On Sunday I went out to the Grand Lake / Lakeshore district of Oakland and photographed a sign that I want to use in Staging a laundry room.  It's a cool neon sign above a laundrymat "Launderville".  If anyone wants a high resolution copy, just let me know, I'll share it with you.  Crop the photos any which way you please.

Have a Merry Christmas
