Saint Nick Salt Shaker

 

My Santa Salt shaker is one of five I kept when I ditched my Santa Collection a few years ago..

I bought him and another salt shaker at an antique store in 1985. the year  I got married.

This past week, I finished my coffee in bed, reached out to sit my cup on the bedside table, sat it 

down and the cup turned  over, it flipped into the air and rolled UNDER the MIDDLE of The Bed.

It made a racket, hit the frame of the bed, the leg of the stand.

 I got out of bed, went down the hall, and as I left Bob was saying where are you going? 

(he did not hear the clanging of the falling cup and did not hear me when I said

I dropped the #@%$$ cup)

I came back with Daddy's walking cane in my hand. He looked shocked and said What Are You Doing?

I said this is the only thing long enough with a hook on the end to reach under the bed.

He said why do you want to reach under the bed?

There is NOTHING like living with the hard of hearing.

The cane Worked and the cup survived. 

Unlike the time Bob sat my collectible coffee cup with his coffee in it, on the TRAILER Hitch of the blazer and Drove Off.....the cup was never seen again.

That was also in 1985, the two collectible mugs were a birthday gift from a friend.

That was also in 1985, lest we forget. HA

I raised such a fuss that he kept the other one save until

10 years later when he dropped the matching cup on our tile floor. 

Never to be seen again.
