A few more pics...

Dierdra is a friend of Diana's from work. She came over one night to meet Edwin and share a meal with us.

Anthony at the bat

So anyway....

OK... so I don't update as often as "everyone" says I should. Hmmm.. what's the quote? Oh, I remember.. "Less is more" ;-)

I finally had some pictures developed that I want to share with you. (yes dear friends and family I still use film)

Here is Anthony playing at his first t-ball game. He got a hit and even scored a run. "T-bone" has come so very far from hisfirst day at practise where he didn't understand the game at all. I think he is going to turn out to be a very good player.

For those that don't know, Mary was in Minnesota for a week visiting her Mother, Aunt Hazel and the rest of the "fam". Drama....such drama. anyway, Mary got to spend some time with David and Jenny. Oh, and Otis too. The Dobo's came from Duluth to Dave and Jenny's house for a bit of conversation and laughter.

As for me, I stayed here at the beachworked on the house and enjoyed my Girls and my Grandson's. God is good.

I tried to add a few pictures here at the end of the blog, but alas, I couldn't figure it out, so I will post a few more pictures on an additional post.

Love to all,

Pappy

It's POETS day

I'ts POETS day.... (pee on everything tomorrow's Saturday)
It's actually been a very good week. I got to take care of Edwin on Wednesday night while Diana went out with her "peeps" from work. Hey.. a free meal is a free meal. And besides, Diana brought home a wonderful chocolate dessert to share with ME !!!!!!!!!! She loves me :-)
Thursday night Mary & I went out for ribs with Anthony and his parents. (Just kidding Katie). Damn I'm glad we moved to the beach to be able to be involved with these kids. (Katie, Brian, Anthony, Diana, Ed & Edwin) I thank God every day for my blessings.
Anyway, enough sappy Pappy sh--- . Have a wonderful weekend.
Love to all,
Pappy

A Picture from our Boat Ride

Damn she's cute.....

Under the weather today. I didn't even go to church, which is very different for me to not go. I am hopeful that this is just a 24hour thing.
Katie, Brian, Diana, Ed, Mary & I all went on a boat cruise last night. A PPD get together. Actually very enjoyable evening. Food was good, weather was perfect, and even got to spend some time with Ed, who is ALWAYS working. Katie took some very pretty sunset pictures on the ride. I do hope she puts some samples on her blog.
Nap time..
Love to all......

Friday at last....

First the car died ('87 Oldsmobile) took it to the doctor, well, i didn't really "take it" it died in front of the doctor's office (Kelly Lloyds garage). So Dr Lloyd fixed what he could after 2 days and made the beast run again. Hurray... Then couldn't sleep, so I tossed and turned and kept Mary awake all night too... Anthony got sick.. poor little guy just didn't do much with that fever. Hey it's Friday... shit.. the battery died on the Olds.... Oh well.... it's only money. :-) (but I did find a really good Japanese deli).
Went out for a Friday night sandwich with Diana and Edwin. We wanted Katie, Brian and Anthony to come along with us, Anthony is still not 100%, so he wanted to stay home. It just breaks my heart when he doesn't feel well.
No more TGIF.. now its POETS (piss on everything tomorrow's Saturday)
But hey... I'm on the right side of the dirt, got a job, Love my family and my God... Life IS good.
love to all...

Labor Day Sunday

Happy Sunday Friends and Family.
I don't know about you, but I do love a 3 day weekend. Especially getting paid for taking the day off. Believe it or not, this is my first paid holiday in about 4 years. That might not be a big deal to you, but it is to me.
Friday night we got to watch Anthony in his first T-Ball practice. Poor little guy got bonked on the head once with the ball, and once in the mouth. Rather traumatic for a 4 1/2 year old. Saturday Katie and Brian went and bought Anthony a helmet. Smart...very smart.
It looks like Momma Mary will be headed to Minnesota near the end of September to visit G.Grandma Louise and Aunt Hazel. I am glad that she is making the trip. She will get a chance to spend some time with Dave & Jenny too. A person never knows when they will get called, and speaking from experience, you don't want to regret not seeing the family when you can.
I sure hope Mary, Mom, Grandma, has let everyone know about this so I am not spilling the beans. I've never been known to do that before. :-)
Anyway.. Have a wonderful weekend.
I Love you all..
Pappy
