Happy 4th everyone


Sorry I haven't posted much lately, but I promise that I will have a good post soon. I had a really great weekend and I am as red as a lobster (sunburned) but feeling good about myself and life itself. I hope everyone had a great Forth of July. The highlight of 4th was when my son dropped one of the roman candles thinking it was done and it wasn't. The next shot went off and almost hit my wife and a friend. Both ladies scrambled just as the next shot bounced off a fence. The final shot ended up in the garden and almost set it on fire. Now that's a good fireworks show. Hope your 4th was just as exciting
Have a wonderful day,
Greg

I'm glad you all survived the fireworks show! It sounds like it was a little scary. I guess that made it more exciting! :)

Good to hear from you and see the red, white, and blue fying!

I'm glad nobody was hurt with the fireworks. My hubby and oldest son love to set off those things :)

Sounds like a wonderful 4th of July celebration! It's not fun if you don't get a little nervous around the explosives! ;)

Glad you have a wonderful 4th with your family. I guess we should leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals ;)

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...
