Raising Arizona

This is a scene from my grandmother’s house last night.

Which explains all the dolls in the background

And the Zenith T.V. circa 1982.


Raising Arizona from Big Mama on Vimeo.

We’ll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash you got.

    What a wonderful baby mama she is! :)

    Are you sure you weren’t at my MOM’s house? Her excuse for keeping her 1985 TV? It’s the right size for her (very small) 1980 TV cabinet.

    Oh. Okay then.

    Oh my gosh, that TV is awesome! Any more, most people throw a big tablecloth over a TV like that and put the “new” TV on top of it. LOL

    “Son, you got a panty on your head.”

    Love it. Own it. Now I have to watch it. Tonight.

    I’m so glad that the hubs just got back from the grocery with a plethora of junk food just perfect for movie-watching.

    Hey, cute video! Just so you know Melanie Vimeo is having a bit of a nervous break down so about every other person who tries to view a movie will be told it’s no longer there. I wouldn’t worry, the Vimeo people are on it so it should be fixed shortly.

    Okay, we got rid of a TV just like that in a garage sale a couple of years ago. It was still working! It had a space phone.

    Caroline is so cute. My five year old doesn’t play with dolls.

    need more information! Where was that baby born? In a taxi cab? On the shoe aisle at SteinMarts? She just left us hanging…

    Is it a sign of sickness that I kept getting distracted by the football game on the tv in the background?
