Commander Granny

In today's paper there is a cartoon with two Goldman Sacks guys commenting on how nice it is to have the public's attention diverted to the oil spill in the gulf, and the bomb in times square. Kadizzle has been blessed with a granddaughter that serves the same function. Commander Granny now has Sylvie to keep her occupied with projects. Lately The Commander has been refurbishing the old toys our own kids had. Cabbage Patch what's her name got her stuffing washed. Bert and Ernie got to go to the dryer carnival and spin themselves. The living room is full of stuffed animals, and of course that means there is stuffed animal droppings everywhere. One problem with The Commander hunting new toys for Sylvie is that she often ends up keeping them for herself. All the birds and butterflys with moving wings now surround the garden. Another nice thing about the grandchild is the basement is getting bigger. After years of saving every old toy and little furniture for "our grand kids" the stuff is finally starting to migrate to Colorado. Erin will now see her house filled to the brim with more stuffed animals than a Chinese factory.
