Golden Brodie looks at Holiday Trending

Published on by Lucas Pam6 Comments

My golden self is about to celebrate my third Christmas…can’t wait.  Just noticing how the holiday season is ever-changing …evolving…

What’s in…Ugly Sweater Parties that include adults wearing outrageous footed pajamas…Bad Santa Parties that are close to the “Ugly” but perhaps a bit “Up” in “bad taste”…  It’s totally innocent seasonal fun wrapped around the colors of red & green, mixed with different levels of alcohol…laced with meatballs, wings and cheese trays… as well as record-setting numbers of selfies taken within these celebratory & innocuous 3-4 hours.

Santa Claus
How can Santa be bad?

What I want to know is…did the house dog get an outrageous sweater…perhaps a meatball or two…perhaps chilled water bowl while the “adults?!?” party down??

What have we learned here…Christmas Caroling is out. I’m just saying a golde…Ho! Ho! Ho!

My golden retriever self saw this beauty just last week…the US Capitol Christmas tree…gorgeous…a golden gorgeous.  What makes this gem so special is to know that all of the ornaments this year…over 18,000 of them have meaning and were hand-made by fellow Idaho peeps…proudly coming from the great state whose state vegetable is the glorious potato…state fish is the cut-throat trout. You gotta read about this…the warm-hearted golden in me wishes each of you could visit this very special celebration of state caring and national pride.

Passive aggressive behavior moves skillfully, whenever, whatever, sure. Heads up…on your right.

Vice President of the United States Seal

Brodie sniffs out housing for the in-coming Veep

Published on by Lucas Pam5 Comments

I completely forgot about our new in-coming Veep! Mr. Pence and Mrs. Pence will soon move to Washington, DC.  Where’s he going to live?  Can’t be The White House…so I took a golden moment to check it out.

With their offices located on the White House grounds, every Vice President since Walter Mondale has lived with their families on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory.

The coolest part of this housing is the Naval Observatory itself, which continues in full operation since 1893. I’d love to go there and be with the Scientists, who study the star and the planets…measure time and  publish vital information that keeps navigators safe on the seas.

So, I’m ready now to welcome the in-coming Veep and his family to their residence on the golden Embassy Row of Massachusetts Avenue!

The view is from on high, high up…not about feelings.
