Special day

Well today is a special day for me and DW. It is our 25th anniversary. It seems like just yesterday that we were getting married. We have been through a lot and we have two wonderful boys. I also have a daughter that DW helped raise. I guess we beat the odds to have made it this far. As luck would have it though, we have company coming in today so we had a special dinner to celebrate last night. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I am on my diet again today and also still on the wagon, How long has it been now?

Hey, you have to celebrate every now and again - it makes the diet even more of a positive discipline.

Congratulations on the 25 years. It's wonderful to have all that history with another person. I feel sorry for the people who don't have that.

Annie If I could only stick to my diet, I spend more time celebrating than dieting.

It's a precious thing to spend that much time with someone...if it's been mostly good. It sounds like it has been.
My 18th is next month. Sometimes I want to throttle my man, and other times I think I would simply die if something happened to him.
It's a funny balance.
Sometimes I get wobbly and fall over...he is gracious enough to help dust me off and help me up again.
Happy anniversary- you are a wonderful role model for some of us.

Hi greg, how did the meal go???

Greg C said…
The meal went well. I fixed rib eye steaks on the grill. Mushrooms stuffed with crab meat stuffing. Shrimp coctail for an appetizer. Baked potato and fresh squash from our garden. Oh and scallops in a garlic butter sauce. Nothing fancy. She loved it and the thought too.

I guess it is time for a new post,

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
