It is not three days until the end of today, so technically I stayed on schedule. A lot has happened in the past two days in all our lives. One event that I can not let pass is the birthday of a friend of the Blog.. Known by a few names..but agreed to be called NJRB for the purposes of being mentioned in the blog. She is a great friend, my spell checker and wonderful person. Happy Birthday NJRB!!!! Many more....The official unofficial start of summer is upon us... Doesn't it seem like Memorial Day is so much earlier this year... Like Day light savings but for Holidays instead.. must be part of some stimulus package... Hope it comes with government burgers and cheese... Not a fan... So the great migration east commences at dawn tomorrow... the start of the relaxing holiday, actually starts with more physical labor than one should have to go through... that would be packing the truck with the summers worth of "stuff" and hauling it to the beach club... Haul once in and once out on Labor day... the rest of the summer all I haul is beer, soda and water and whatever else Toots buys for the Beach club( Which means I haul more home than down each year).. Weekend weather doesn't look to promising but I don't care... I will be on the beach with the start of the season cigar... and cold beer... it could be 40 degrees.. but I will be there... On Dr. orders Dot is not to go to the beach until she is at least 6 months... The Dr should have followed that up with I would wait another 6 months because it isn't a good idea to take a baby on the beach in the dead of winter...
While many of our holidays have drifted away from their true meaning or purpose... let's try to remember what the memorial in Memorial Day is really all about...
THANK YOU!
What else is there to chat about on this glorious day.... As much as I like doing this as the hour reaches mid-night.. it isn't half bad doing it with the sun up and a cup of coffee within in reach..
Toots, Little Guy and Dot are all about town already... Big Sis is hanging in her room... She had her first playoff game the other day... hit safely and drove in a run... She has the all-stars this weekend... Little Guy and I have conquered, not completed Ben Ten... If you have to ask you just don't know.. and if you know.. you know what a pain it was... Little guy is off getting his hair cut... He actually asked while Toots was in the hospital a few weeks back... If he could use her appointed so he could get his hair cut.... wonder sometimes if he is my kid... I'd let my hair keep growing if Toots didn't remind me to get it cut... I think it has something to do with the buzz cuts of my youth.. and that ear stuck to the mirror at Buddy's Barber Shop.. If you move, I'll be putting your ear up there....
Been looking at the count down for the year.. and have been contemplating... putting myself out there with a personal challenge I might or might not track on the blog... I know Toots feedback already... I would like to lose as much weight as Dot gains between now and her 1st Birthday... Attainable goal, that I can always control by withholding food... (Joking)... I am going to give myself a week to think on it... and than post starting weights with updates ever month. I am open to a friendly contest to see who can come closest to loseing the weight gained by Dot...
That's it for the post... Hope you enjoyed, smiled a little, thought a little and stop by again. Keep those letters and cards coming in...
