While Hubs (ya'll remember Hubs wont let me call him DH because that means something else at our house.) was installing a music speaker system in the attic of the house December 2007. The old man caused Hubs to fall through the ceiling in the foyer area, coving our beautiful Christmas tree, dinning table (fully set for guests), and grown son (dressed in black sweater and slacks) with fluffy loose insulation.(This was 45 minutes before guests were coming to dinner.) Hubs insisted that the old man was responsible and should do the repairs. However he did manage to vaccumn the Christmas tree, and to staple black plastic garbage bags to the ceiling before dinner guests arrived, Lovely!!!

Six months later since the old man couldn't be pinned down, Hubs put back up the busted sheet rock puzzle pieces with 2 dozen screws, again lovely!!!

Here we are December 2008 almost, and the old man keeps forgetting to finish the sheetrock repair. I hate to get ugly about it and fuss. The next best thing was to invite Hubs' family over for Christmas this year. This incentive better work. Otherwise that old women that moved in here (who has much less tact, has Peri-Mental-Paws, and could tick-off the Pope) will showcase said ceiling story detail, after detail, after detail. Then she will point at Hubs and he will be giggled at and blamed for all of the trouble the old man caused him this year.

Wow....these Old Farts really get around, don't they?? They have been at my house for the last few weeks....losing things, dropping things, and forever hiding things from my DH and me! I think we need a revolt!! :-)

Chuckles about Kirk losing glasses and batteries. Hubby does the same thing, daily lol.

The old woman is even worse ... ~tenderlee

For those of you who weren't here last Christmas...the Old Woman was very pushy...even getting in our family snapshots. She took a particular liking to my DH!

As you can see in this one, some of the grand-kids were rather amused! And a couple of the girls look like they're gritting their teeth!

She didn't try to get her picture taken with me...but she sure like having it taken with DH!!

I can hardly wait to see what she pulls this Christmas! Thanksgiving was touch and go!!

~Sandy~

LOL what a riot(-: The old lady here can't remember things to buy at the store. I write a list and she hides it. Geez what can we do? She turns on the water and forgets to turn it off during the summer too!!!

Great pics Sandy, what a fine bunch of grandkids! Beautiful children! each and every one just adorable :-)

And the old woman is looking mighty fine lol ... ~tenderlee

You all are a hoot...The old women...Hmmmmm, you know I have one too...She lives here with us. I call her....Mom!!!

LOOK WHAT SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE! Not the old man, nor the old woman! But this character! Last yr. he popped out from behind the tree that had to be removed...and this yr. has been replaced with a arbor bird sanctuary! I suppose DH has something to do with this...it's his and our son's Christmas spirit soarin' high! Eh gads! Jeanne S.
p.s. The snow is from last night and today...about 5".

"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!"

Kirk,

Thanks for the fun thread. Had no idea that the old man was up to no good that far out of town.

Sandy,

Beautiful grandbabies!! You are blessed. Great to see your Dear Husband! Love the Old Woman!

Jeanne,

Your Grinch is cool!!! That snowy picture makes me shiver. Hope ya'll are staying bundled up.
