It's that time of year again.




It's time again for the annual Camp Happy Days. For those that don't know what it is about, it is a week long camp where kids with Cancer go to have fun. There are only two rules. First off, no parents. That means the kids don't have to hear, "Susan be careful" "John don't do that. " " Mary you are going to fall and hurt yourself". Kids just get to be kids and try to enjoy themselves and forget about their cancer. The second rule is that everyone must have fun. If you have never been, I highly recommend it. It will make you see life in a whole different light. These are pictures from two years ago. I will be taking some new ones tomorrow when I attend. Our plant raises money for this cause and also we set up a tent and hand out boiled peanuts and sodas. The kids look forward to us being there. Have a great day and be thankful for your little blessings,

Greg

I was a summer camp counselor and I loved it!! I had 8 year old boys and I was their hero when I taught them the song "Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts."

I know those kids are going to have a blast!!

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

My plans have changed.

Image
Well I had plans on working all weekend but those plans were changed for me on Friday afternoon. About 5 minutes before I left work on Friday, my boss called me to tell me that they wouldn’t be needing my services all weekend. It seems that my schedule was so good that it could stand on its’ own. So there went 20 hours of overtime that I had planned on. And all those plans that my family made around my overtime were also changed. When I got home on Friday, I found out that the riding mower had quit working. How bad could it be I thought. 10, 20, 30 dollars to fix? Well we are talking $300.00 just for the parts. But at least I have the ability to do it myself. I am sure it would be around $500.00 to take it in somewhere. And the sad part is I could buy a new one for about $900.00. But wait, I just found someone selling the part I need on Craigslist for $40.00. Keep your fingers crossed for me please. Saturday, I went to the market since I wasn’t working at my regular job (as planned).
