le cat und le mouse....

(cat and mouse and dog and cat mugs by Gary Rith)
I came home one day wanting to make basically a cat painted all the way around a mug, then added blue along the top...and of course, a mouse inside the cat mugs and a cat inside the dog mugs. The look, I think, tres cute and tres sweet.
Even if the weather oustide is shirty you have GOT to love December 1. I gave the wife, as I sometimes do, a lottery ticket advent calendar. She scratched the first today and won.....another ticket! Ho boy, its gonna be a great month :)

Golly these are good jokes.....:

What do you get is you cross an elephant with a cat?
Very nervous mice.



Momma mouse was getting food in the kitchen with her baby when the cat pounced in. Snatching up the kid Momma ran for the mousehole but it was obvious she wasn't going to make it. Finally in desperation she whipped around and shouted "Bark, Bark" at the cat. The cat skidded to a halt and ran away. Momma mouse turned to her baby and said, "You see how important it is to learn a foreign language!"

I was reading in the paper the other day that REO Speedwagon has a Christmas album and that it is fantastic. The thing is, you have to admit that like the band Boston they made some expert and super catchy music, like this one below. Funny though, the band is over 40 years old and has maybe as many as 20 EX members! Same singer all this time, of course.
