So I have been lazy!!! Time has really been flying.We have been busy with the grand kids(baseball,socccar,and softball).
You know, me and the wife are a soft touch for the g-kids.
The last few weeks have been fun,with the kids and our friends.
We love this time of year.The weather is great--for the first time that I can remember,we have even had a proper spring.Spring in Texas is about two hours long.This year it has been 3 weeks and just now begain to get hot.( except for the fact I have to mow every 5 days,it would be great).
We are planning a trip to Lake Powell, in Arizona,In July,for a week.We will be on a house boat ,with my brother and his wife along with my sister and her boy friend.
If they don't kill me,it will be fun.
Update---The weight loss is still going well.Slow,but steady.Down 63bs.Just 26 more to go!Still trying to go to the gym three times a week.The last three months I have lost 15lbs.My numbers are still comming down.Sondi may have to put up with me a few more years.
Till next time---Poohpa

She ain't easy.
My woman is just not easy.Nothing ,no way ,no how.
When you are 3ft 2in,ain't nothing fits.( she is just a hair taller than that).Pants to long .Shirt sleeves that are always to long.
Did you ever try and find a pair of size 5 shoe or boots?
Did you ever try and find a size 5 ring?
Why does she always bend over to tie her shoe or pick something when she is walking down a hallway with people behind her?
Why does she always have to go back to the house to get a pillow or to get the camera?
Why is it her phone is always dead or at the house?
Why can she remember crap I did 20yrs ago when I don't know what she is talking about?
This all leading back to the reason I am take my life in my own hands for posting this.
Remember my post about Austin?How we had to have her name changed on her birth certificate.Remember I talked about the $5 an hour millonaire?All we had to do was have a misspelled first name corrected.We got the new one today .Her name was corrected from Sandra to Sandra.
That's right, they changed it to the same dam'n name. Sondi is still Sandra.This after a trip to Austin so we would get it right.
Sondi is still Sandra and she still ain'easy.
Lord knows I love her.

Carl
Carl is my new cars salesman.Last week I bought my sweet heart a new Sorento.The car is very nice and looks good.Carl was very nice and very good as a car salesman.
The only problem is that his name is not Carl,but Dale is his real name.
I do not remember names very well.I see and talk to hundreds of people a day.I try and make them all think I know who they are are.Many people know me by name at the store,but I know very few of them by their names.The art of true bullshit fits me well.
Carl made a joke out of his new name.I don't think he cares as long as I bought a car.He even introduced himself to Sondi as Carl then as Dale.One cool dude,just what it takes to make a sale.

Christmas Past
We are getting close to Christmas and I have not talked to you lately.I have been very busy at work-with the doctors--with the rehab--but also shopping for my baby.
I remember a few things from Christmas past.
The time my oldest son was a baby.he was so sick we almost put him in the hospital.At my Dads house on Christmas Eve,all he did was lay on Dad and eat potato chips.Dad talked about that till the day he pasted.
Last year little Kasey got a new plastic rifle that made shooting noises.For hours he carried that thing around and must have shot in 500 times the first hour.
The year my wife found cameras very cheap for my 10 little nieces and nephews.Their Moms bitched for years about the cost to them for development.Aunt Sondi always buys the best stuff for the kids.
The year that I drew my sisters name for a gift.The only thing I could think of was to make her something.When I brought out the deacons bench I made Vickie started crying.Hell thought she was pissed and apologised, then I got the best hug ever.
The Christmas lights of Christmas past--the bastards never work right.
The work and love my mil,Nannie,put into the Christmas dinner-( two types of corn-two kinds of mac& cheese-dressing with and without onions-olives and sweet pickles-and Dema's fruit salad).
Trying to get the kids up early so we could beat Nannie and Papa.This way we had time to our self with the kids.
My kids telling me to go back to bed,that it was 4:30,not 7:00.( Can you tell I love Christmas morning?).
The year my grandmother,Mell,accepted my invitation to celebrate with us.I had only asked for 35yrs.Later on that next year she passed away.She gave me one of the best presents ever,just by being there.
My fil,Papa, would claim some one stole his bread and have the kids get him another.Every year some one's bread gets stolen.
How every year my mil and my wife would make us save tags and bows.
One year I got hamburger patty boxes from work(we were throwing away about 200),it became a tradition to get a present in a patty box.Today there are only about 5 left,we wore out the rest.
Every year we hope we don't have black bottom bread.
The year my soon to be ex daughter-in-law,gave Sondi a platter she had made with all the grand kids names and hand prints.Instant tears for Sondi and Amy.
Best of all, just having our kids and their families with us!
I know this a long post, but we have many memories.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Nashville 2010
When in Nashville you need to go to the Ryman.We are not big on bluegrass,but we were surprised to find a Ft. Worth group there.The Quebe Sisters.Very good and a show stopper.
The head liners were Vincent and Daley.Bluegrass super stars. Very funny and the music will give you goosebumps.
Inside the Ryman (we all ways feel so young when we go to something like this)
Stage
Belle Meade Plantation
Jack Daniel's Distillery
Sondi,Jack,and LindaKiller bag
We spent a few days in Nashville. We had a great time with our friends(Richard and Linda). We had a small incident with a killer bag.It seems to be harmless---- right? Ever since the black bottom biscuits incident,I have feared for my life.I have been getting the stink eye for days.
In the hotel she was pulling her bag down the hallway.Just as we passed the maid cart.she said"Look in this room".This was her chance,she stopped the damn bag beside the maids cart.Of course I was looking to my right.I almost took out the cart and the bag,If it had not been for my cat like and perfect reflexes I would be pushing up daises by now!
She knows I missed the bullet,but she is still smiling while giving me the ole stink eye.
Every one pray for me---till next time Poohpa

4th of July
Last night we had some of the kids and grandkids over for chicken fajitas and a good time.We went to the local city fireworks and had a great time for all.
Now for the real reason I am writing. My wife and I just got through eating grilled ribeyes and baked taters Real man food!Along the the meal we also have garlic toast. God knows my wife is a good cook,but she can burn a batch of bread faster than a cat can lick his ass. Black bottom biscuits are her specialty.
She can sit beside the oven and still mess the bread up(I think is really a commie plot). Lord knows I love her but ,what the hell! It ain't brain surgery.
I have done my share of extra well done burgers,but I was distracted (that's my story and I am sticking to it).
As with my brother-in-law,I think I am safe, because she does not read my blog.She think it is silly and a waste of my time. As long as no one(Darlene and Ethel) does not rat me out ,it will be safe to sleep tonight.
Pray for me ,that she will not read this-----Poohpa

Cook out
Rug rats every are where
Tammy-Poohpa-Vickie-Russ-Debbie-Becki-Mom
This is my kids and some of my neices and their husbands.We had a cook out for my sister (Becki) and her boyfriend (Riki).
We had a small turnout,about 31 showed up. I fixed 30 burgers,30+ dogs,and about 5lb. of smoked sausage.No one died from the food. All of the kids had fun and played for hours out side, even though it was 95f,a few tears but no blood. Every one brought chips,water,and buns.
We had a great time and the fellow ship was great.
Life is good when you have a good family,mine is the best,we love them all.

Life Lessons
- Always wash your hands after making cinnamon toothpicks and before going to the bathroom.
- Never jump off the roof with a towel as a parachute.
- Never tuck your shirt into your under ware after drinking 4 large cups of coffee.
- Don't piss off the neighbors dog by spitting in his face.
- Don't change the toilet paper after using Deep Heat.
- Always use a safety jack when working under your car.
- Always get your wife flowers when she is in the hospital, even when she says not to.
- Always make sure you have at least a quarter tank of gas when on a trip.
- Don't tell your boss he is an ass hole and a drunk.
- The most important thing a man can learn is to say "Yes Dear" and "What ever you say Dear"
- Know this--you are always wrong ,even when you are right,when your wife is concerned.
- Never think you know more about the right color than her.
- Never shoot your son in law, in the back, with a soft plastic pellet gun. Your grand daughter will go to school and tell the teacher that Poohpa shot her Dad in the back.( I shot myself and it did not hurt much,but he whined like a little girl.) I now hide my soft pellet gun from him.
- Never touch the coil wire on your car while it is still running.( this will make you piss in your pants).

BAT MAN
I love to make fun of my friends,but my biggest source of material is myself.
Just a short little story about a swim party.Our best freinds(Bill@ Darleen) went eat with us.After dinner they ask us back to their house to swim.It was late ,about 10:00 pm,when we got to their house.Bill says, we have to watch out for the BATS. Just as they said the bats came down and swooped the pool.
The did not bother us, but they were cool to watch.About two hours later I was in the pool with Bill.He came up behind me with large leaf.He threw the leaf on the right side of my head ,form behind.REMEBER THE BATS.
I came staight up out of the pool,just knowing the damn bats were sucking my brains out through my ear!Did you ever see Dracula? I dam'n near pissed in the pool( only because the bats sucked my brains out).
That dam'n Bill as made fun of me for 10 yrs or more .
There is nothing like good times with good friends.
A we all know LIFE IS GOOD.
