Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for December 23, 2009

Almost like getting a major appliance for Christmas…

Two more shopping days and Office Max can lay off the Christmas elves.

Smile, Broomie! “It’s the thought that counts,” and besides, Edwin might just be a snapping turtle, so you’d better play nice….

Tortoiseshell is very desirable, just ask “Antiques Roadshow!”

You might want to ask Edwin too!

Tort us in the right direction.

Broomie may want to slug someone.

The gift that no one else has given. I’ll bet she’s got nothing else like it.

Well, what are you waiting for? Open it!

If Edwin tries to run away, she should be able to catch him.

MERRYMARG I put in a new dishwasher Saturday and put a bow on it. She was not amused. If I want to get off the couch, I’d BETTER get her something in a hard shell gift case, something small (not too small) and sparkling.

hey, a talking turtle is a great gift, unless you have to keep putting batteries in it

Lewreader - you can come over here - I’d love a new dishwasher!

Lewreader,the year my Mom got a vacuum cleaner for Christmas was not a happy one… Best of luck, my friend.

It’s a box turtle. Everyone loves boxes under the tree. And it’s self-contained.

Slugs & worms? The ones around here prefer flowers.

Slugs?

-hides-

Oh boy, a do-it-yourself army helmet!
