This is Boy14 at the dining room table looking pathetic. I'm not sure why. He may have been 13. He sits with a paper, pencil and calculator nearby. He must be trying to write a story, having finished his math recently. He wears a Yankees t-shirt which he loved for a good long time. He has a toothpick hanging from his mouth. One habit I don't really like, but don't bother to complain about either. There's much worse. Jugs of Culligan water are behind him on chairs, as they usually are. A Farm King advertisement is lying on the table. That is a local department store, that for some reason the Danish folks love. They like to buy cowboy boots and leather jackets there. We don't do much with decorating around here. I was noticing that tonight as I watched "How Much Can I Get For My House" or some such show. Yeah, our house definitely doesn't belong on TV.
Well, since I have been battling a cold for a couple of days, have gotten next to nothing done, and am going nowhere fast with this post, I think I will retire for the evening. I have two large papers due Dec. 8 & 10 that are barely begun. That should be my activity for tomorrow. I don't plan to do much Thanksgiving weekend, except be thankful I have a lot to be thankful for.

hey, i actually like your idea of randomly picking a photo from the archives and blogging about it. you should do that more often!
Sorry you've been sick. Me too. it sucks, doesn't it? blech. But I have been making christmas cards, i've made 58 so far.
I think he may be 13 in that photo. Ahhh, the Farm King piece of corn--look carefully in the photo. Nephew9 will be sad when they finally take down the old Farm King sign with the big piece of corn. That's when he knows he's arrived after a long day's drive and will get to see his extended family!
Madz, I definitely owe you something creative (when I get inspired). Also, Ragged who sent me the coolest CD a couple of years ago. I am very slow but I do remember!
That was a great idea for a post, Susan. I'll have to try it sometime. BTW, a house LIVED IN is what it's all about. Forget TV.
