“GRANDSON…makes GRANDMA’s DAY”
“YOU heard that “JOKERS ARE WILD” – – Well … what do you think of this “JOKER” – – – that I am standing next to?”
Several years ago , when at work, I was bragging to fellow workers and showing them the “prize” I won and am thanking “The Lord” for giving me such a talented grandson! My grandson, Alan Aldrich has such good ideas, when it comes to me asking him to put on paper, something I have in my brain and I am describing, and expecting him to show me my thoughts in drawings? He does just that! Then in my case we have to think up just the right words to make the drawing. A slogan – words and pictures – is what I am after. All this is for a “Contest” at work Alan helped me to be one of the “Winners!”
The gal, in the cubical next to mine , Jane Amati, came over wanting to find out if I could get my grandson, Alan to make a “Court Jester” maybe 6-foot tall, to hang on one of the pillars in our section? And she would buy and bring the construction paper, if he would? Also, the “Court Jester” had to have one of those three-pointed type headpieces. Alan said he would try , and he made some rough drawings to see what I thought and they looked good to me so we work on it, I mostly looked and then had to go to bed.
The next morning , there “It” was, all ready to go to work! Jane could hardly believe that Alan was able to get “It” done! So we started to hang “It” on the entrance pillar on the isle of our section at work and on the next couple of days , workers in our section were bringing other goodies to hang. With the “Court Jester” in full color, and movable parts, our isle at work looked like “Bourbon St., New Orleans – Mardi Gras ” style!
The “Court Jester” looked so good, we had to leave “It” up, for months as other departments were sending people over to have their picture taken with Alan’s, “Court Jester!”
