Still Running

Today I ran across the old blue 1989 Ford pickup truck that Dad drove for years before he gave it to me.  I drove it several more years and sold it a few months ago to a fellow who wanted it for his grandson.  Saw it this afternoon in the parking lot at McDonald's.

It is still running and on the road.  The rust is trying to claim it but it still looks pretty much the way it did when I sold it.  The biggest differences I could see were the new toolbox and the TRUMP 2020 sticker in the rear window. 

That wasn't there when I sold it.  

I suspect Dad would be happy to see it there.

Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary Michelle and Jim

I remember when Michelle got married on August 5, 1989, I told her to tell Jim he isn't just becoming a husband, he also is going to become an uncle to about ten.

When we got home I asked Shawn whose baby was he? He said, "Maw's."

I said, "Shawn, Maw gave her baby away."

Mother said, "I did not give my baby away!"

I said, "What did you do today if you didn't give her away?"

Mother said, "Not the way you said it, I didn't give her away."

Resurrection Lilies

Four or five years ago we brought home a small root from the Resurrection Lilies that Mom had growing at the Mt Sterling house.  We planted it among some other flowers in our yard.   I think this is the first time I have seen it bloom.

Florida Girls

A promo for a new show on Pop-TV caught our attention today.

I looked over at Jennie when it ended and said, "Oh my Lord!  They've made a movie about Jeffery's girls."

Jennie laughed and said, "I knew you were going to say that about the Guinea Girls."

Jennie's Retired

In case you haven't heard...Jennie has hung up her nameplate for good.  She retired at the end of June.

This means there will be a few changes that friends and family may notice.

1. She will be available for many more spur-of-the-minute shopping trips.  The bigger the Mall or Outlet Shops, the better.
   
2. Visits to friends and family are no longer confined to the weekends.  We could drop in any day of the week.
   
3. She is available for babysitting duty at all times.  The younger the child the better.  Rates are negotiable but Clyde has set a limit of $7.50 that she can pay you to let her watch your child.

In related news, Clyde will probably be looking for a job soon.
