my mugging needs improvement

Looking at photos from the trip to Perry’s Moms for a late Christmas, it’s clear I need to work on my stupid facial expressions for photos. Perry has it down to a science…

Happy Belated Christmas!

Perry doesn’t get to see his Momma nearly enough — it’s about an hour and a half drive to Rising Sun. She was sure happy to see her favorite son and didn’t seem to mind that Christmas was late this year. She likes him better than me — he got a bigger container of cookies.

Un mal pour un bien!

About 4 years ago, Perry’s Mom, Donna, had a major life change. After decades of marriage, her husband (that neither Perry nor I were crazy about), found someone he thought he liked better than her. She ended up in an apartment and now she’s like a social butterfly. In the short time we were there, her phone alerts went off at least 100 times with Facebook notifications and text messages. She has more friends now than she had accumulated in her lifetime before the move.

The French have an expression “un mal pour un bien” — which basically means a bad for a good. She’s not French (nor am I), but she sure did trade a bad for a good. 🙂
