Wonderful Dinner

We just finished dinner: perfectly grilled NY strip steak, baked potatoes, broccoli (Not for ME), and a tossed salad. Both of my nephews were here, Chris's girlfriend Sabrina and Kathy's mother Grace, Kathy, Jeff, and I ate our fill.

Today, I finished GlennBeck's latest book Being George Washington. It is terrific. What a guy Washington was!

I'm having a great time here.

Until next time...

Not Much Happening

Having a great time with my family, though not much is happening. My brother Ray left at 4:15 this morning. I got up to bid him goodbye. So sad to see him go.

I’ve been reading Glenn Beck’s new book Being George Washington. It’s really hard to put it down. It is well-written, informative and extremely interesting. I’ve learned so much about the Revolutionary War and about James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, Benedict Arnold. Baron von Steuben, and others, and not just about George Washington.

We’ve been playing cards after dinnerand it’s alot of fun.

Until next time…

Black Friday

I'm trying to use my.new Kindle Fire to compose this blogpost, but I can't get the normal compose screen to bring up the keyboard. Instead, I'm using the html editor. This is s test.

Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving

Had a great Thanksgiving Day. Wonderful food! A Great Family! Fun Card Games After!

Sad, though, since my brother Ray leaves first thing tomorrow morning – like 4 am. I don’t get to see him very often and the couple of days we spend at Thanksgiving isn’t very long.

Off to bed.

Until next time…

What do you think?

This idea just may work! 

I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built at Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque.
...
We could call one of the clubs, "The Turban Cowboy", which would be gay, and the other a topless bar called " You Mecca Me Hot."
Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called
" Iraq o' Ribs."
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called " Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop, a liquor store called "Morehammered."
All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.
If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think this is a good plan, please pass it on...for the sake of tolerance!

A Quiet Day

Today was kind of quiet. We all slept in late since we stayed up late (it was after 1 am when we went to bed) talking. I never left the house today except to retrieve something from the back of the truck.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and I hope everyone has a blessed holiday. We all have so much to be thankful for, but we shouldn’t restrict giving thanks to one day a year. I want to practice continual thankfulness.

Until next time…

Some Neat Pictures

I promised I would post some pictures of our time at the Marietta Diner last night. Here they are:

My nephew Bob, my sister-in-law Rose, and my brother-in-law Don. In the foreground is a “small” piece of some kind of strawberry cake.

 

In this picture are my brother-in-law Don, our waiter (in the white shirt), my niece Donna, my great nice Sara and my great niece Marissa.

 

Speaking of great nieces, here is another of Sarah, Marissa and their sister Krysta. Aren’t they beautiful and they are just as nice as they look. It was a real treat to get to see them. I hadn’t seen them since last May when I attended their sister Melody’s wedding.

By the way, speaking of pictures, the following is labeled: Last Picture of An Idiot.

Isn’t life full of wonderful surprises? My brother Ray arrived a day early for Thanksgiving. He usually doesn’t get here until Wednesday, but he arrived at a little after noon today.

I’m posting this early so I can take care of my computer.

Until next time…
