Going solo

Well I am off to sunny Florida this afternoon to visit my Daughter and her Family. I will be driving alone which will give me some time to think and also lets me stop or not stop whenever the urge hits me. (no pun intended) I will make one stop in Georgia for food and then stop for the night around Jacksonville. Normally I could make it without stopping but something came up and I can't leave until this afternoon.

A dear friend of ours whom we consider family passed away this week. Beverly Kornahens died after a long battle but is now resting peacefully in Heaven. It was a rough year for her but now she is seated beside God and happy again. She is my brother in law's mother in law if that makes any sense. She was a wonderful person and treated my children like they were her own. At Christmas she would buy them presents and never expect more than a big hug in return. We will miss her but she is in a much better place now. No need for sorrow, she is without pain and suffering.

Have a wonderful weekend. I will be back on Sunday,
Greg

Ps, I will reach my destination in time for breakfast, hint nint, jess. :)

Hope you have a nice trip. Sorry to hear about your loss. It's another reminder that for me to live is Christ, to die is gain. One day for all those who know Jesus as their personal Savior, we'll have a grand family reunion in Heaven, won't we? Praise God!

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...

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...
