Preparing the magic: mylar abounds!
The effect is shimmering!
Just a little higher
Wall of Memories 2022
And the night has 1000 eyes . . .
Getting ready for posterity
Even the mundane gets dazzle
Organizing the really important stuff
Tick, tick, tick, tick . . .
Just need people now

AS WE AGE WE REALIZE . . .
"It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone." - Andy Rooney
"The older I get, the better I used to be." – Lee Trevino
"To get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except exercise, get up early, or be respectable." - Oscar Wilde
"At age 20, we worry about what others think of us... at age 40, we don't care what they think of us... at age 60, we discover they haven't been thinking of us at all." - Ann Landers
"I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to." - Albert Einstein
"When I was young, I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties, I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then, and I'm labeled senile." - George Burns
"The important thing to remember is that I'm probably going to forget." – Unknown
"The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for." - Will Rogers
"We must recognize that, as we grow older, we become like old cars – more and more repairs and replacements are necessary." - C.S. Lewis
"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened." - Jennifer Yanez
The Christmas family portrait was a beloved tradition for the Snaiths.
Of all the days for Rudolph to wake up with Covid . . .
Rawson should have taught his pets to heel, sit, and stay.
In a break with family tradition, Richmond refused to go into banking.
With his pals in hibernation and his ski patrol application still in limbo, Jumbo had nothing but time . . .

No matter how much you push the envelope, it’ll still be stationery.
I’ve started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness.
I saw an ad for burial plots, but that’s the last thing I need.
Police were summoned to a day-care center where a three-year old was resisting a rest.
A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.
England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.
French pancakes give me the crepes.
Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who could not control her pupils?
I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.
I was wondering why that frisbee was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
With thanks to Barbara Bruno for sending these.
