Life In Miniature

My mother is an endless source of entertainment.  Over the years I've shared some of the things she's said and done right here on this blog.  

This is the latest.

I pick up her mail several times a week and sort everything for her - junk mail and flyers go in the garbage, bills go to me, and personal stuff goes to her.  She gets medication by mail so there's often a package from the pharmacy and sometimes the smaller packages from Amazon or Walmart.

I picked up one of those packages.  What you see in the photo is what was in it.  An incredibly tiny can of paint.  I was perplexed.  

When I asked her what her intentions were for this teeny tiny can of paint, she said she had planned on painting the end table in the living room.  When I showed her the can of paint, she said in disbelief, "Noooooo. Really?"

I said, "Didn't you read the details about the size?"

She said, "I thought I did."

Apparently, she did not.  This can of paint is 0.47 fluid ounces.

It's pretty safe to say that no end tables will be painted anytime soon.

Everyone Wants To Be On Team Godfrey

This Christmas, Ed set up a racing corner in our family room so he could entertain our guests over the holidays.

Our friend, MacG, is a big Formula One fan, so this is right up his alley.  You can see some of the racing flags in the background.  

The poster with the helmet on it represents Franco Colapinto, an Argentinian Formula One racing driver. Through family, he's also connected to our friend Marlaina (MacG's wife). Marlaina's cousin is one of Colapinto's managing executives. Small world.

Ed and MacG had fun over the holidays with this setup, but every guest who entered the house was also impressed with his setup.  And they all enjoyed playing.

But the kids next door seemed to love it the most.  The oldest girl said to Ed, with sheer amazement, "Does anyone else know this exists?"  Ed said, "Like who?"  She said, "Anyone." Then she told her mother it was a "hidden gem".

Not only does Formula One have fans, Ed has fans.
