Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
Today is the daughter's 7th birthday. She has been counting down for quite some time now (like since 30 days or so ago). We are delaying our birthday dinner tradition until next week after our house guests have departed but she is bringing cupcakes for her class tonight at AWANA. We really have not done anything special today to celebrate as we had both a chiropractor visit and the weekly gymnastics already on the calendar (along with AWANA tonight) but we will open her presents in a little while. The wife, mother-in-law and sister-in-law took off this morning to go shopping at the nearest American Doll store so I pulled chiropractor visit duty. After that we headed home to wait for the shoppers to come home. I decided to get up in the attic and retrieve the Christmas decorations. The wife has some little cottage / town houses and we have some other seasonal things as well. However when I opened one box I discovered this...
This is a Christmas candle that has been melted then hardened while engulfing the ornaments that were packed with it. It has sort of a modern art feel to it I think. The elf legs sticking straight up on the top right give it a slightly morbid (but still Christmassy) look. I have it sitting on the mantle on top of our fireplace. I really think that I could market the whole "melted candle art" and make a killing. This is what happens when you put a candle in an attic in Texas for the summer.
Well, I am told that it is time to open birthday presents so I have to go.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
