papa strikes again....

Oops he did it again...emptied a dirty dishwasher and said that dishwasher of yours doesn't work very well.

Ummm no... When it wasn't turned on it doesn't work very well.

Oh dear somethings never end...

But in other news we have lights and reindeer frolicking in the front yard.


Thanksgiving was fun we did the annual pull name out of hat to see who you are buying a gift for and for ole times sakes josh decided it would be good to include grandmas name (as the wild card).oh my ....

long time

Its been a very long time.... Face it I'm a bad blogger. Papa is still quite hilarious. Now that cooler weather is upon us he's been feverishly trying to plant flowers out back...trouble is they keep dying.
He turned 93 last week we had a family party since he didn't want my suggestions of a bowling party skydiving party or trampoline party... So sad.
He's also managed to empty a dirty dishwasher a few times ... That's always fun when I get home to go looking for all the dirty dishes that have been put away as he tells me "I don't think your dishwasher works too well" yeah when it doesn't turn on it doesn't work too well....
We decorated the christmas tree last week...its beginning to look like christmas and papa has agreed not to shave until christmas...we are hoping for him to look like santa! HA!

papa: God made em that way so women would be useful....

domestic bliss

papa: isnt it nice im here so you can cook every night....

pap sportin a new look... doesn't he look like a combat pilot-in reality its a baggie for cleanin up the yard.. -thank goodness he humors me...

demo days

demo days are again upon us... this time we are tackling the floor.. so out with the carpet.. in with the concrete.... and then wood to follow

on fruit

me: you gotta a hard head

papa: like a watermelon... if its hollow its good .... you dont see that much anymore people knockin on fruit

as im reading this entry to him he thinks i say lard head...
grampa: you dont hear that term much anymore-- i used to call people that in the day

...oh the fun.....

catch phrase

i've figured out grampa like to play games... trouble is he doesn't know he's playin em...

case in point - last night i asked him what he wanted for dinner..his reply.. um its big its round you bake it and it has stuff on it...

well with that reply of course california pizza kitchen was where we went...

he's also moved from playin in the sandbox to playin in the dirt.. more vegetation and dirt have found there way to our house..

back from vacation

i was out of town for the holiday weekend-trip to louisville for a conference with my church~ with an unexpected stay over in chicago and freezing temperatures- grampa held down the fort and babysat the kid -- while i was gone i had a painter come and paint the inside main areas of the house.. it looks great


papa has been in rare form...

*in replying to what he read in the bible today

~paul's letter to the phoenicians
-turns out it was thessalonians

*in replying to me asking how his new haircut looked

~i didn't look at it, for all i know he could have scalped me

*while watching so you think you can dance

~these dancers today dance like i used to when i was alone
~i don't call that dancing all there doing is gyrating

*on home appliances

~when you say microwave you mean that item up on the top?

oh how i missed this guy-- so glad to be home

now if i could just get my voice back....

on traveling, being born & movies

papa and his pal

playing toys on the floor

commentary on our very clean & organized garage-

its like the netherlands... Why's that? ... its just so clean, like Amsterdam



we had dinner at our favorite place the gilbert house- as we were leaving a couple came in the drove a 1916 ford model t - the owner of the restaurant & i pointed it out to grampa-- she said its probably like what you rode home from the hospital - to which

grampa replied i wasn't born in a hosiptal

me: then where were you born
grampa: darned if i know
me: huh?
grampa: you were lucky in those day to be born


we got home and i told him we were going to watch 27 dresses to which he says -"what do we do watch dresses?"

but he watched it and enjoyed it-- and now we are off to eloy to skydive-

heard today

grampa: "some ologist called today"
me : "which one"
grampa: "i dont know i dont need doctors they dont do much for me anyway"

~~~~~~~~
driving home tonight

me: i gotta stop one more place before we go home
grampa: you gotta get yourself a drink?
me: no- just a stop
grampa: you gonna stop and take a snort?

if people didnt know better theyd think i was a drunk and a druggie with the drinkin and snortin goin on ...

a life remembered

weekend fun

grampa and i went to eloy on saturday.. we go cruisin down the highway with the top down and music playin-- this week we listened to bill cosby-- grampa laughed so hard he almost cried.. some favs were-- theres a nut in every car -- and kill the boy...

i still have yet to take a pic of grampa in the arab hat .. but dont worry ill get it soon .. we get some smiles and chuckles as we cruise about-- as the odd couple--

here i am sailing in for another landing.. not in jail...

also you can't see it very well but i got my new jumpsuit on .. pink stripes...

so that pretty much was our saturday we hung out in eloy till around 6pm and then came home and my friend janelle came over to visit-- we all ate outside around the new table and enjoyed watching the neighbor climb his roof to hang a pee-yada (as grampa calls it) for their lil girls birthday party

sunday was moms day and we enjoyed having the fam over with kwish, cupcakes, and wii-- grampa went bass fishin in the living room and snagged some fish -- oh the wonder of the digital age
