After all, it's the first Christmas of the new century." <br /><br />Oh, I don't know. . .hey, why don't we get that McLeod guy to take a picture? We could dress up and go sit outside on some rocks." <br /><br />"Marvelous idea, darling! And we could put Paul and Cedric on a couple of asses. They've been acting like asses for a few days now. It would serve them right. . ."</i> <br /><br />The back of the photo has an extensive ad for "McLeod, the Wild West Photographer. . . the man who made Happy Hollow famous the world over."<hr />I don't know how you celebrate this holiday season in your home. However you do it, do it with gusto. Laugh and love and enjoy.<br /><br />You could do it in Williams family style. Dress up in all your finery and go sit on some rocks. Take a photo. Take lots of photos.<br /><br />From me and the petting zoo at the cottage, happy holidays.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dee_burris&ditemid=133948" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-06-11:913346:131749 2012-11-22T12:26:19Z 2012-11-22T12:26:19Z public 2 And it may come with a guarantee...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/sharpchick/Cartoons/?action=view&amp;current=prozacturkey.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y69/sharpchick/Cartoons/prozacturkey.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></img></a></center><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dee_burris&ditemid=131749" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
