Things Are Looking GRIM

 

Debbie Downer and Serious Sally have nothing on the Grimley's.  Their life looks like a walk in the park compared to the Grimley's.  While the  Grimley's life is a walk in the cemetary.  they Fell into the Biz Years ago..they use to Marry people for a living, now they have outlived most of the people they have married. 

Which left them with a great slogan.

We once Married them, Now We burry them.

Things are looking pretty darn Grim in the Grimley household. A husband and wife duo that have been married for a very long time. I don't think it was their life long dream to become undertakers, they just sorta fell into it I suppose.they stroll the grounds daily to make sure vandals haven't caused any damage, then at night lock the gates to keep vagabonds away.This is why Mr. Grimley carries a Skeleton key in his hand.Both Grimleys are made in the same fashion. The bodies are made from stained and painted osnaburg, while the head and hands are made from stained and painted muslin. they have separate fingers that are wired. both facial features include sculpted nose, indented eyes and stitched mouths.

Mr. Grimley Measures in at 33 inches from bottom of base to tippy top of painted osnaburg hat stitched on to his head. His hair has been stitched into place

Mrs. Grimley measures in at 29 inchesMrs. Grimley Vision is not what it use to be, that is why she wears glassesit is hard to separate the two of them....that is why they are being sold in a set...I have a feeling if they were to be separated they would quickly meet death

Something To Chill Ya' Then Thrill Ya'!!

Well Folks, Jeez I can't believe that the fourth is here.  That means Christmas is very close, and even closer is Halloween.  The temps here in the midwest have hit 100 for 6 days in a row. with a brief break at 99, but before that we were at 103 If memory serves me right.

so with my brain half fried from the heat and the kids now out of school and home for the  feeding freenzy with an  an electronic device of some kind hooked on,  I think there is a Mommy Melt Down on the Horizon.

Trust me, I can hear the alarms!! the sirens are blaring.  It feels as if a nuclear reactor meltdown will be soon.  

I take deep breaths, and try to remember the bigger picture. (school starts in 6 weeks!!) just when you have 5 peeps living in a 940 square foot house and me trying to run a chinese dollie factory out of it, tensions run high.  On my part, the kids are great!

onto something THRILLING..I was going to present Chilling first but talking about my stress has stressed me out! so lets get scary out of the  away!

Now something to cool me down..a darn shame it ain't an iced martini bar.

but an original doll that I am in love with.

 

even though these two are so opposite they are so much alike.  Kinda like hubby and I. I think they would make good bed fellows.  

with the retro look, and outgoing attitude how can you separate them?

 

but I am, they are being sold separately

Happy 4th 

p.s My monthly friend is visiting, so just feeling very on edge..wish she would leave, but it does make me feel some what young I guess????

I guess I should feel happy she is here..because when she does not

return I am going to feel so rejected.

PSS

and you thought you had issues....

PSSS
I have more gray hairs...more like blinding white...
