I Choo Choo Choose You...

Saturday afternoon Kris and I drove to Johnson to Bob's brother Denny's house. Denny lives in the same apartment slum that Bob did, and that Carla (my former RA who became my best friend and then disappeared from my life when she became a lesbian and joined the navy...anyway.) did. Needless to say I spent a lot of time up there.
I had spoken to Denny on Gmail about how he was getting rid of all of Bob's stuff and moving to Arkansas. He said he had some stuff he just didn't know what to do with. One item was a cookie jar that was in his family since he was young and before that even. He said when he was 3 he broke the cover (it was glued back together) and he remembered that. He said he couldn't bear to look at it really but he also couldn't bring himself to throw it away. So I am now in possession of it! Its really cute and old and not the kind of thing you see nowadays at all. I love stuff like this:





Haha I found one on ebay for $39.95 but its not broken and the red paint on the nose is still there. Weird.
