1990 Pee Wee Herman Calendar

We went through some boxes while Clare was here and one contained my 1990 Pee Wee Herman Calendar. I remember getting it — my mom gave it to me for Christmas. That might have been the same year she gave me my talking Pee Wee Herman doll and his pal, Chairy.

Of course I kept it.

Here’s January’s image with Pee Wee sitting on Chairy next to Miss Yvonne while Pterri perches on the back of Chairy. Also pictured are Randy, Globey, and Clocky.

Here’s January’s dates page.

Today, January 7th, we are instructed to think about Grandma’s nose.

Hmm. I really don’t remember my grandmas noses.

They both had pretty typical noses…

I’ll keep this around and post each month’s image if I remember. And maybe reflect on the message for that day.

Dream screen

Apparently, when I was just shy of five-years-old and we were moving from Mountain Street to Heine Avenue, I asked my mom if we could take my dream screen with us to the new house. It seems that I thought my nighttime dreams needed something that was external to me. This was an oft-told story in our house.

Mom must have been planning on making me a card or just documenting that memory in a drawing that she didn’t follow-up on. It’s also possible she was going to use it in her Famous Artists course.
