DAISY BUCHANAN

My brother says he can't stand people who give names to  inanimate objects.  Of course, I give names to lots of objects such as my cars, laptop, and thermometer.

A friend gave me a fascinating flower (see picture) and the flower waves back and forth, obviously powered by the sun.  It gives joy to Gerald, Les and me.  It's a daisy and I immediately called her DAISY BUCHANAN, after the F. Scott Fitzgerald ideal woman character in The Great Gatsby.  Naturally (but only "naturally" at my house!), that started a new "refrigerator game" (see BLOG article and picture HERE)  I asked Patty and Gretchen for additions to the ones from Gerald, Les, and me.
