shrinking woman!

look closely at these two pictures . . . count, if you will, the lines above the heads of the two women in the pictures. You would THINK that Ms. Thang would be smiling because . . .

she is (at least) one inch taller than her gramma!!!!!

sigh!

pictures taken at the Ohio Historical Society Museum in Columbus, Ohio. This is the museum which houses the mummy behind which said gramma received her first kiss (awwwwwwwww) when she was only 15 . . . from the hubbymoose, btw . . . who was also 15 at the time.

Again with the awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

but will you just LOOK at how short the moosie is getting! Sheesh! I used to be 5′ 41/2″ - somewhere along the line I lost an inch and she found it! Too bad all that height is going to my girth. lol

We had a great time - this despite the red devil eyes on Ms. Thang and her look of abject misery at (once again) being photographed by her doddering (short) gramma.

hubby moose and I reinacted “the kiss” for her - at her request - so she could get a shot. Unfortunately (or maybe not) that picture is on HER camera.

and, about the angle of my head. Hubby mentioned that I might have been tilting it backwards and so it just seemed that I was an inch shorter. Awww, isn’t he sweet? Even if I had been tilting my head one way or another - the girl is STILL taller than I am. (much to my dismay) but thanks for trying, hubby.

If the 6th graders at the nearby middle school are willing to stand outside in the rain . . .

and wash cars - well, then by golly, we will take BOTH vehicles over to be washed. AND, take pictures, too. AND, send said pictures to the newspaper and tv station.

Because we can.

and

Because hubby LOVES 6th graders - they are TOO much fun, he says.

And, you know - by the time we left with the van and came back past the first driveway to go home, the SAME 6th graders who had just washed both vehicles were standing out there trying to get us to come in AGAIN!

See, I told you, said hubby moose, they’re EVERYWHERE!

hahaha

we live in Alaska - we make our OWN fun!
