Misadventures in Christmas shopping




My dad, affectionately know and GdAd by his granddaughters, told this story on Christmas Eve as we were enjoying a nice dinner at Applebees. It is so crazy that it is true. At the end you will shake you head and say, "Really".

Do you remember the song, “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”? Okay, start
that melody buzzing around your head…huh 1, 2, 3, 4…


G-dAd got run over by a wheelchair,
Shopping at Fred Meyer's yesterday;
You might think there can't be that much rudeness,
Especially when it’s close to Christmas day.

While he perused the aisle of pudding,
Choosing instant or to cook;
Passing wheelchair was a scooter,
Veered in and gave him a right hook.

No apology was given,
Not a word, no one could tell;
All who saw were simply wondering,
If scooter man had simply caught a spell.

G-dAd got run over by a wheelchair,
Shopping at Fred Meyer's yesterday;
You might think there can't be that much rudeness,
Especially when it’s close to Christmas day.

This adventure was not over,
Express checkout just as hard;
Before me were two shady fellas,
Caught using someone else’s credit card.

I just stood there feeling stupid,
Wondering if I’d leave the store;
Chanced a glance at those behind me,
We all laughed, oh please, could there be more?

G-dAd got run over by a wheelchair,
Shopping at Fred Meyer's yesterday;
You might think there can't be that much rudeness,
Especially when it’s close to Christmas day.



Thank you, thank you very much…thank you…uh-huh, thank you…based upon true events…


Do you have any fun stories like that from this year's shopping adventures? Or in years past? I would love the hear them!

Pink Flower Headband/Clip Combo, Pink and White woven headband, pink handmade flower clip, pink fascinator - $12.50

This is a fun handmade ensemble. I love this pink and white woven headband because of the small flower print on one ribbon. It is delicate and subtle but adds some fun detail to the band. The band is woven with three different colored satin ribbons and is fully finished on the inside.

You can remove the clip and wear it separately from the headband in your hair, on your scarf or hat. You can wear the headband ...
