A Quiet Christmas

Many people told me they were having a quiet Christmas and meant that as they were staying home. For several years now I've done all my Christmas Day's at home with my husband and dogs. With dogs, there is never a quiet Christmas. The morning always starts off with the dogs tearing into their own stockings and goes on from there.

This year Boomer got fascinated with one of my gifts that gurgles, coos, and moves. He wasn't sure what to make of it, though he has finally accepted Baby Yoda (Grogu).

Happy Almost New Year!

Backyard Archaeology-The Winter Finds

I really thought my backyard archaeology wouldn't result in any significant finds until the Spring. But a few days in December, January, and February, I spent time in my yard pulling weeds and trimming trees and bushes. After three years I truly thought I had found most of what was in the yard to find. I was wrong. This winter I found more objects than during the Fall. I'm starting to wonder if my yard possess a vortex to another dimension that sends objects through to this realm. That, or my yard is producing items as if it were a 3-D printer.

This winter yielded a baseball, nice bread knife, marble, screw driver, ink pen with ink still inside, blue ball, glue gun stick, spade, metal butterfly, swimming goggles, a toy spaceship, metal stacks and wire, and a few other random items.

Mythical Battlestar Galactica Snow Globe

For yahrens (years) I have known of it's existence, but had never seen one. Frequently I searched yard sales and e-bay with no luck. I only knew of one person who owned one, actually four to be exact. Finally after decades of waiting and searching, I am proud to say I have added the Universal Studios Battlestar Galactica souvenir snow globe to my sci-fi collection.

The item retailed back in 1986 for a $1 (the sticker on the bottom says so). The one I now possess has no water left instead, but that doesn't surprise me given BG went off the air in 1979 (I don't count the other two shows at all).

The toy is amusing as it has two cylons sitting on a teeter-tooter.  I hope it amuses you as much as it does me.
