Our son

Our son was here visiting with his two sons today. When they were ready to leave he said "OK boys, lets go". It made me think about something my sweetie said when he talked about our son. My sweetie always referred to the pilot as "my boy". It made me smile to think that our son turned 35 this month but if his Dad were here our son would still be referred to proudly as "my boy".

Peter Piper sells sea shells...What?

I spent some time with Herbie and Big Weld today. Herbie was sitting on my lap and I asked him what he wanted to talk about. He said Peter Piper. So, we tried practicing that for awhile. Then, we changed to Sherrie sells sea shells down by the seashore. They did better with that but we started laughing as we tried to say it too fast. Then we made a new one up with Momma collecting cans and making pans man oh man. By then we were all laughing too hard to try again. I love to hear them get so tickled and laugh so hard. Later today I was talking to Big Weld. He was in a serious mood. He was carrying their cat, Tiger Kitty, around. He said that sometimes he calls the cat Phyllis. He told me that Phyllis ran into the road and a car hit her and killed her and now she is in heaven with Grandpa and he misses them. We all do baby doll.

Same Song Third Verse

My sister is visiting from North Carolina and she loves the Burgerville cheeseburgers. So, tonight we went to Canby for supper. We went cross country on our way but coming back decided to come down 99E. We were in the pickup. We were just having a great time talking and I forgot to slow down when I drove through Aurora. So, before I knew it there were bright flashing lights in my rear view mirror. My first thought was boy I hope that's an ambulance. I pulled over and waited for the officer to come up to the window. My sister started saying you are not getting out of this one. The officer asked for my drivers license, registration and proof of insurance. I got my drivers license out and then said I didn't have the other things because I don't carry them because of ID theft. He said did I at least have the papers showing I had bought the pickup. I said no. Then he said did you see me sitting back there along the road. I said no. He said do you know what the speed limit is through Aurora. I had to admit that I didn't. He said stay in the truck I will be right back. He took my license. My sister kept saying your busted. Shortly, the officer was back and handed me my license. He said you were doing 52 in a 35. He said I should carry the papers showing I had bought the pickup until the license plates arrive. I said thank you, I will and with that he headed back for his car. My sister is still saying I cant believe it.
