Down time

Due to a problem with my computer I will be unable to add to my blog until after the 1st. I hope you will all come back and check it out. Take care and have a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years!

Tom Holloway

..and now, back to the fair

This little ditty actually took place in '71 at Summer Fest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. What was most embarrassing was that I was in full uniform and my head was buried in the shoulder of my then wife, Janice. She was sooo brave!

A Quick Public Announcement

Every so often we at "The Grand Life" are moved by the plight of the less fortunate (as hard as it is to believe, there are those less fortunate than we are). When we saw this authentic, unretouched, real, no kidding, photograph we were moved. In fact, we're still moving. When we quit moving I will be soliciting money for the Swimming Salmon Society. Dedicated to the teaching of salmon to swim.

Please, donate as much as you can!

A day at the fair

During her pre-goth days Breanna joined the family for a day at the fair...hence the title. Also, Breanna appears only in this one cartoon, as does the grand kids and Violet but, it was a way to explain the change in her appearance.

Who's on first?

I've always wanted to do a takeoff on Abbott and Costello's classic routine, "Who's on First".

This character was begging to be played with.

Going to the fair!!!!

I guess even if you don't know what something is, getting Poppy to take you there is a major accomplishment!!

A future U.N. Diplomate

Nothing like a little self-editing and diplomacy.

Another "Out of the mouth of babes"

Poor George continues his voyage towards Paradise, Fool's

Paradise, that is.

Yeah, I'm still smiling..weakly, but smiling non-the-less.
