Tango lithos framed & still in plastic.

Custom framing cost me $110 for both of these, even with the 50% off discount on custom framing that Hobby Lobby was running. At least the lithos were free, though.

The lithos are courtesy of Viktor and Julie Tarm. They let me pick from their huge litho inventory. These were my favorite. Actually, I only picked the one on the left but Viktor talked me into coming home with the other one also. 🙂

Brian and I think the prints will look fantastic in the chocolate room.

Our Gifts from the Cannady’s

Christmas Card

The Cannadys gave us the cute photo Christmas card (above), a cool 2009 calendar (the quote at the bottom cleverly fits the picture of the boys in shirt and ties), a box of chocolates (which, amazingly, I haven’t touched yet), and some cash (you guys shouldn’t have). However, their best gift of all is their company on Christmas eve. It is something that we look forward to every year.

Another Financial Disaster

Posted on December 26, 2008 by under Life.    

We got to talking about this while we were playing Phase 10 yesterday. I’m not sure how we got on the subject, but I thought I would find information on it and share it with you all. Be careful who you entrust your retirement savings and finances. There may be other Bernie Madoffs out there just preying on naive investors. Consider yourselves warned. Invest wisely and choose trustworthy people to manage your money.

Donna’s Nintendo DS

Posted on December 26, 2008 by under Family.    

Christmas 2008 184

Donna got a Nintendo DS as her main gift this Christmas. Of course, she got a ton of other stuff. The Brubakers go a little wild this time of year. I think they spent enough to kick-start the US economy!
