The view from my kitchen...

is very unappealing.

We are showing our local weather today for Show and Tell. It was so bright today that my snow pictures didn't turn out. So, I had to show you my snow against an ugly, brown AMC Pacer, circa 1976.

It's horrendous. And I have to look at it. Every day.

I once considered crashing into it and blaming the ice, but that would ruin my nice, comfortable mini-van so I opted out.

The owner of this car knows that it's ugly and keeps it in her side yard, rather than in her drive way, or her EMPTY garage! It's presence graces the view from the alley, which also happens to be the view from my kitchen. Is it any wonder I don't want to do my dishes?

The car rarely moves. In spring and fall, the nice, lady neighbor lines the back of the Pacer with garbage bags and fills it with her yard debris. When it's full she drives it to the land fill, then comes home to VACUUM out the ugly Pacer. After vacuuming, it sits. Waiting for it's next trip to the land fill. It is a well cared for ugly car.

And this concludes my Show and Tell. Can't wait to see yours!

Christmas Pictures show and tell

Show and Tell Thursdays are back. Now hosted by the lovely Sarah Louise of Pink Sneakers.

Our topic for today is Christmas extras. I dug around in my stash and I don't have a lot to show, but here is what I got... The two olders received Red Rider Daisy bb guns, but without the compass on the stock and a thing which tells time. (Name that movie) Imagine how grateful I was to see that they weren't pointing them at each other.
Here is our tree in the dark. It wasn't as blurry in real life. It now sits on our front porch, sans ornaments and lights, waiting for it's pick up to be recycled into a fish habitat in some pond somewhere.
And remember how I told you that my kids received digital cameras and were up to all kinds of shenanigans? Well, here is one of my children, airborn. I took this off my little Sprite's camera. Couch diving is a big no-no.

How to play Show and Tell: Sarah Louise will put up a topic at the beginning of the week. On Thursday, leave a comment on her show and tell post and everyone will pop on over to see what you're showing.

Go here and here to see some examples of past show and tells.

Hope you can come out and play!
