A LITTLE HEAT RELIEF........a story from the Motherland.

It's been so hot lately with temps in some parts of the country
in the triple digits that I thought I would bring you this
Cooling story straight from the Motherland....
Rahway...New Jersey...
Oh we are so proud of our hometown for this one....
This might be even better then the fact that we are also home to
The Rahway State Penitentiary
Remember the t.v. documentary Scared Straight.....Yup...that was our town!
But this story is more refined and cultural....
Think Museum quality.....
I give you....
The Venus de Milo....
In Snow...The picture on the right is Venus in all her naked glory......
That was before the police got complaints of
a naked snow statue....
Oh you have to be kidding....
Nope...
Some idiots complained to the police that Miss "V" was in the Buff.....
So the Rahway Police made the Homeowner dress the poor thing....
Here is the Happy Homeowner showing off her sculpting talents...
It's pretty good wouldn't you say.....
She was quoted as saying...
"I thought she looked more objectified and sexualized after you put the bikini on her"
That's something somebody from Rahway would say....

Not bad from the back either.....
And it gets better....
We saw this story on Fox News but they did not say where in Jersey Miss Milo
was hanging out....
It seems she was melting right in the Big Boss' backyard....
That's right...
They live right behind Grandpa.....
Like I said....we are just so proud.

OK, now you've gone and done it -- I can't access your blog without typing in the password for the parental control thingie on our computer. You can't be too careful with a 13-year old around!!! What did the Big Boss have to say about it? I think she is a thing of beauty! The complainer should go to the Louvre, don't you think? I didn't know you were from a prison town. Our town is the prison capital of Colorado. We never worry - if they are going to escape, they are going to get out of the area. Take care, Sally

That is just too funny! Love it and now isn't that stupid with so many really ugly and nasty things out there that this has to be covered up.

That is so funny. The complainer must be a major pain.

I think the sculpture is pretty cool (pun intended) and look at those abs! Ah the delicate sensibilities of some people.

Isn't that funny? Much of Europe would be in trouble and frankly some of our television could be labeled more provocative! Great story!

LOL! With all those "See Alice "type commercials on TV, :) at all hours of the day, this seems mild!

Only you Sue could have had this happen in your life - lol!

The girl did a great job with it. Too bad she had to put the clothes on.

And your father in law - lucky man! lol Got some views out the window.

I saw this in a magazine a while back and wondered who in the world would complain about it??? How silly! At least life isn't boring around your town.

THUD (Me hitting the floor laughing)

That is priceless and Oh so Jersey. I agree with her response "more objectified and sexual with the bikini on". You do realize if that was me I would have suited her up in a g-string bikini and made some snow nips to tuck in the top. After all, it was cccold.

I can always count on you for a smile. Thank you for that!

Your Friend,
Deborah

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
