Life Is Good!

Life is good! I am blessed!
 Today most of my kids and their families are coming over for burgers and dogs.My mom and one of my sister is also going to be there.
 I love family time.Call me old,call me sappy,just call me.I think the older I get, the more I love it.Fun is the name of the game.G-kids playing in the backyard,the swing set gets a work out.
 Of course the adults,eat,cook,and watch the kids.We get to catch up on our lives and tell a few stories.
 Family and good friends are what it is all about.There are  few things in life more important.We eat,we talk,and we can cry with each other.
 As you know- work in the meat market is tuff on a holiday week end,but that is life.Luckily we still get a chance to enjoy our families.

P.S.--Remember our heroes! They are the reason we are able to do what we want,on these holidays.

Birthday 61

Thursday was my birthday.I spent the day with my 6yr. old grandson--Kasey.He is a handfull most of the time.This day he was an angel.
I took him to the Dr. with me-the nurses loved him ( this is a curse the Lowe men have lived with forever).
Later we went to breakfast and later to lunch with Nene.
Next was the movie and then a little shopping with Poohpa.

Now this boy can eat!!!!
Donuts and milk.Before the Dr.
Waffle House for brunch--eggs and waffle-hash browns-bacon and O.J.
Lunch with Nene--Salad and some of my Beef tips-root beer.-
Bucket of popcorn at the show.
Powered donuts later.
When he got home he had a sandwich before bed.

This was a great day for me,lots of fun and a great day with Kasey.

I wish I had more time to spend with all of my grand kids.One on one.

This was one of the best birthdays ever.

Antz

We had visitors from out of state this last weekend.
My sister Becki from Utah and her boy friend Riki---the spaceman.
Her daughter from Vegas and her family.
We did have a good time and also got togather with 40 of our long lost Aunts,Uncles,and cousins.These from my Mom's (we lost her in 1980) side of the family.We had a great dinner at El Chico's mexican resterant.They fixed a nice fajita bar,plenty to eat for everyone.A good time for all.It has benn atlest 20 yrs since we have seen most of them.
On Sunday we had a cook out at my house.Burgers ,dogs,and grill boneless pork chops.My neice spent 2hrs.making brownies from scratch.They were very good even if my son ,Keith had a problem getting them out of the oven.

As for the ants,they were there to greet Riki (this is a spaceman thing I quess).All I know is when he got to the house ,they all parted and you could her them chant--Riki-Riki.
When he left so did the ants---must be a space thing.

Reason for the season

We all enjoy Christmas,this goes without saying.It can be a stressful time of year.In my type of work( meat dept.)it can be a very hard and lots of work too.Most of the time my customers are very nice.The others I just look the other way.
We all love the food.We all over eat.I do it daily.We are lucky to be in a country that we can celebrate anytime or any where we want.Without fear of retaliation by some one different from us.
Some and I hope all are lucky enough to give and receive gifts from our loved ones.
One of the best parts is being with our families.As you know this one my favorites.Kids and grand kids kick butt.
One thing that is easy to forget is why we celebrate.Our Lord and his Son.I don't want to preach.
His Birth-
His Life--
His Death for us--
That's what it is all about!

Is it acceptable to bitch slap a lap top? I am just about ready.I will try later, if you see a bunch of pic's later you will know I have won.

Grand kids

This past weekend we spent some time with our youngest son and his kids.They are little shits as all grand kids are.I personally have tried my best to help make them that way(as I have all mt grand kids).It is a grandfathers job and duty to help piss their parents off(I am very good at this).
We were at the neighbors house the other day to see his new grand baby,he was also trying out his sprinkler system.I told Kasey to run through the water."No Poohpa I will get in trouble".
"No Kasey your Dad won't mind" I said .Finally I prevailed and he complained,of course him and his sister got soaked.Then Dad came out.Kasey said" Poohpa said it was alright"
Doing the proper thing I blamed it on Robert the neighbor and preacher.
Robert says he has to take lessons from me on being a grand dad
"Life is good"---Poohpa ( the teacher)

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).
