Important Things...and extraneous and sundry extra's....

Well Sir...my wife Elaine and myself had a real great time today with two of our grandkids. We played a few rounds of miniature golf, explored fer various rocks, gems and artifacts, and managed to find some arrowheards, as well as some cool semi-precious gemstones. BTW, I had made a wager with the grandkids that if'n they beat me in golf, Elaine and myself would take them to some local Field Days and the entire day would be on us. Looks like its gonna cost the Cookie a few bucks at the field days.

Then, after Gettin lost in a maze fer a spell, we finished off the day with some great Chinese cuisine, which I was surprized to learn that both grandkids really enjoy eating....

It's days like this that remind a body that the really important things in life are Family and Friends, and treating BOTH with love and respect.....all else is temporary at best...

BREAKING NEWS: Our local Wal-Mart was burglarized last night and it seems the only items taken were all the Viagra in the Pharmacy storage section. So much was taken in fact that Police theorize that there had to be at least two burglars involved in order to carry away all the medications. Police are looking for two "Hardened Criminals"....

In related news, a local man states that he will never again have Viagra in his home. He stated that his 13 years old son found his bottle of Viagra and later had to be treated at the local hospital for 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his hands and other body parts....


New Ethic's amongst Democrats.....

I believe the democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality.

John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the Democratic National Convention for having an affair and lying about it.

In his place, Bill Clinton will be speaking.

Yuuuuccckkk....me good buddy Patrick from over at "PRH....A Day in the Life" posted some photygraff's of himself from the past, but, knowin that at one time he was stationed at Griffis Air Base in lovely Rome, NY,(where the Winters are usually about 9 months long), I couldn't help but notice that he had left out images from this time of his life.

So....I left a comment on his blog regardin this faux pas, and he kindly sent me a couple of photygraffs of one of the winters he spent there....

Just a reminder folks....it's on the way.....

BTW...Rome, NY is about 20 miles down the road from where Cookie lives....




Patrick also stated that this last pikchure is more like the winter nights he prefers.....and I think most of us would agree....



BTW....I don't know if'n y'all read Patrick's blog regularly or not, but he's one really cool character. Here's a story he just sent to me regardin....

Mowing the lawn & Beer

On Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my lawn chair; drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn.

The neighbor lady from across the street was so outraged that she came over and shouted at me, 'You should be hung!

I took a drink from my can of Bud Light, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted up my Maui Jim sunglasses and stared directly into the eyes of this nosey ass neighbor and then calmly replied,

'I am. That's why she cuts the grass.'
