Bertha was salvaged from a bag I was to take to the dump when my middle daughter moved out to go to college....a remnant of her cosmotology days.As she tumbled out of the bag my first thought was to save her from this and bring her home.You can imagine my wife's excitement as she threw back the covers that night to crawl into bed and there in all her glory was Bertha.She shrieked....so she must have liked her!
Since that day Bertha has become a fixture around here.....a topic of conversation.She is always decked out in her finest summer hats and then as winter comes she changes into more festive attire.
Bertha only posed in the snow for a few minutes....twas too cold even for her this morning!
