More Christmas Decoration Pictures

Here I am at golf's office with her Christmas girls there. I think perhaps my garb is not appropriate for these "winter" scenes. However, I do like the Breyer horses -- much friendlier than "the lads."

November 28

Here I am by the Christmas tree. You can see all the little Ferrari 308 GTSes that golf has added as ornaments. One little Island Hoppers helicopter -- NOT the correct shape, but it's all she has right now. All the little toy/mini-size MD500s she has purchased off eBay haven't arrived yet, so she hasn't had a chance to paint them and add them to the tree. When she does, we'll post a picture of all the choppers and all the cars -- and me, of course!

Friday, after Thanksgiving, Evening

Not the best picture, but it was too cold to set up the tripod,

so here's the house with the lights we set up today.

Of course, we also messed with the cats -- Larry kept putting the "antlers" on them.

Day After Thanksgiving

The Day After Thanksgiving: That's when golf gets serious about Christmas decorating.

I assisted with the lighted "bow swags" for the windows. When it gets dark, I'll add pictures of how the house looks with the all the lights, etc.

Here's the Santa's Helicopter that Larry got for golf last Christmas. To figure out its size, I'm 12" tall, so you can see how many times I would have to lie down in a straight line to measure it nose to tail -- so it's nearly 6 feet long and just under 4 feet tall. It's now hanging on the front of the house. You'll see it when I post a picture of the house all lit up, after dark. Larry usually teases golf about her Christmas decorating, but this afternoon, after helping her get the house "trimmed," he admitted that he was thinking about what else could be done to make the house even tackier!!

When golf gets a few more little MD500 helicopter toys (purchased on eBay) painted to look like Island Hoppers, I'll post pictures of all the Ferrari 308 GTSes and IH helicopters she's using as ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Thanksgiving 2007

I know it's in there -- gotta keep an eye on it.

Ooooohhhh, golf forgot to take pictures of me with the turkey and with all the food on the table!

But here's how I look after eating it all (had to unbutton my shorts!):

Flying with Island Hoppers

Let's get the rotors spinning.

I have the camera ready.

Getting ready to raise the collective.

Home!

The welcoming committee awaits the arrival of Magnum, G.I.

Thanks, guys! It's great to see you!

Let me join you.

TC says, "Here's your beer. I tell ya, buddy, I was about ready to get in the bird and head for the Caribbean to find you! And I wasn't even going to ask you to pay for gas."

You realize, don't you, that, if you relate my 1:6 size to my seven-day absence,

I was lost for 56 days!

I couldn't have tread water that long . . . .

The gang's all here.
