Russell and his Red Hat

Old people do silly things.  When we get bored or need a bit of exercise, we go to our local Fred Meyer store and walk around and cause trouble.  Sometimes we see things we like.  We don’t want to buy them, we just want to play with them and take pictures!!

Russ loves Twinkies and since they went out of business for a while, he has been worried about his future procurement of those spongy delights.  He found what he wants for Christmas:
P1050040
Now he can make his own.  Even Russ should be able to manage this handy gadget!!

Russ also found some great gifts from his favorite TV Stars – those Robertson guys from Duck Dynasty:
P1050039
P1050038








P1050034

They even come as nutcrackers!







Found the perfect plaque for Russ:
P1050036
All he needs is a white beard.  This might be more appropriate for Rick!

Son John will know what this is all about:
P1050037

And finally, the ultimate Red Hat.   I can’t believe I talked him into it!


Hope you are all having some fun in your lives!

  1. Well, I've heard of the "Red Hat Club"... looks like I might have just met the founder ;-) (I wish I'd been at that store and seen the other shoppers expressions as they watched you two on your shopping spree!)

  2. I felt like I should have that sign on my cart..."I'm Retired, Go Around Me". Most folks just pretended not to notice, but they did smile.

  5. Isn't it fun to just have fun at the holidays!! My daughter rings a bell for Salvation Army during the holidays. I just might have to get her one of those hats to help her spread the cheer.

  18. Russ could get a job at Fred Myer's promoting their merchandise. Sort of like what Ronald McDonald did for Mickey D's.
