THIS IS
Grandma Kayak, Folks!
She Is My GRANNY And She
INVENTED THE KAYAK!
I know, I know.
WHO KNEW, right?
She Loves Nature And Designed The
Kayak After Grandpa Died.
(He Choked Eating A Wild Hickory Nut).
Anyway, Kayaks Are Enjoyed
ALL AROUND THE WORLD NOW
And Come In A Variety Of Colors Based
On All The Colors She Has
CHANGED HER HAIR TO.
(Granny Always Loved Personal Touches!)
She's bit "Out There"
BUT WE LOVE HER.
(When We Can Find Her!)
SHE IS USUALLY TRAVELING DOWN A RIVER.
Actual Photo taken three years ago when
Granny Had Lost A Little Too Much Weight
On That Silly Dr. Aardvarks Diet.

Yesterday she met up with me (LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD) and we had lunch at her place after she picked me up in her BLUE KAYAK but she said she had to go take care of:
"SPECIAL THINGS that were NONE OF MY BEESWAX ..."...
GOSH! I never thought she meant THE NORTH POLE!
WOW!
So you MUST BE RIGHT! #8151185

Such a great looking grandma you've captured here Lulu! I agree with Mumj!!!I think I saw her at the North Pole too, cursing at wild hickory nuts that caused her to be alone in this world!!! She had more fun when grandpa was floating in the river along her side! I like her sunglasses! #8151777Tommy E. Burgess November 21, 2009
Very beautiful capture of grandma Laura!! I've been wanting to do something with my hairlate. I'm wondering, do you happen to know if grandma uses an over the counter color and of so could I get the brand and number?? #8151837Lynne Morris November 21, 2009
YOu are so funny and clever Laura, this is fabulous! #8151862

GRANDMA KAYAK sure has personality, that's for sure, SSSL! I love her hair that matches her glasses so well.

Tommy, Grandma uses PS Spray Paint. The color number is called 1-2-3-GO! Thanks! She will be pleased that you asked! :D
*
Thank you Lynne! :)
*
Hi Surfer Robert! I bet you see a lot of this hair madness at the beach too???
*
Hi SSSKiki! She sure does. We always try and get her to blend in with nature but she said she can surely well do that when it's "Game over!"...She's a character, that one. Her hair has been this way for months. We think this is why we saw more wild life this year.
Did you know that moose can chuckle? Yep.

Thanks everyone! This might be the photo we use for the milk carton if we dont hear from her soon?

Thanks Doug! I sure hope she makes it to the North Pole where the Elf's can fatten her up a bit!!! Paddy said she looked MIAGRE. Poor Granny. She usually has plump cheeks.
* * *
Lets hope Granny keeps HERS Marisol. It's a long way the the POLE. A lot could happen to her between here and there.
PADDY IF YOU CAN STILL SEE HER, THROW SOME LOBSTERS IN HER BOAT, WOULD YOU? I suppose she is long gone by now?

I guess inventions and creativity run in the family - you really favor your Grandma Kayak, too! I love her hair - it matches her glass frames! :) #8153390

I really appreciate each of you coming by to congratulate me and celebrate.
GRANNY on the other hand doesn't even know you have been here yet. She took off up the river to catch Salmon with her bare hands. She is still pretty fast! She said something about using the iodine for a new hair color she is working on??? She will be thrilled to know you have been here to admire her! (Snort snort!)

Yes, Julianne! Salmon oils. Granny is a huge believer in them and used to use them as hair conditioner as well, but got tired of the bears chasing her so she cut that out in her 60's.
*
Songbird, Granny misplaced her glasses...Did you find them while rafting in Alberta by any chance?
*
Oh yes, Irene! Granny is certainly captivating. When we can find her.
*
You know Ken...that's the scary part. The family genes. My house is so colorful and bright. If I ever get temped to change my hair color...well, lets not go there.
*
I'm trying Rod. I'm trying. :D
*
Thanks Big Sis and NO you aren't terrible. You are just busy. We all are. THAT runs in the genes, too.
*
Oh Steve. Wait till I tell Granny you think she is cute. That IS what you were saying, right??? HA!
Thank you all VERY MUCH!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Yes! I knew it! HA! She used to sing this song a lot.
Elvis Was In Love With Grandma Kayak in Her Youth. She met him in Memphis When She Took A RAFT made of PINE TREES Down The Mississippi River...
(BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY!)
