turns out some of grandmas sweats got mixed in with papas clothes...

"i've got dorothy's pants on"

in the mail

me: what did you get in the mail

papa: my ff'n allen notice

me: you're what?

papa: terms for my ff'n allen card- i don't even have a ff'n allen card anymore

me: ff'n allen? huh? do you mean ethan allen?

papa: yeah ff'n allen

overheard

"i've got slippage"
- referring to his inability to remember things

"i'm watching a show about the saint andrews area"
Me: whats that
"you know out in california"
Me: you mean the san andreas fault
"yeah the saint andrea area"
oh well....

wedding fun

so its been a busy year

josh & katherine just got married!

we went line dancing at pinnacle peak patio for the rehearsal dinner

papa got in on the action - his response when he sat down ... "that could kill me" but he kept us all laughing on the dance floor

i told him he had to give a toast at the wedding -- to practice i would say "i wish josh and Katherine"... and he had to finish his answers ranged from

"welfare"

"Merry Christmas"

"would hurry up and get married"

"your moms gonna be a grandma"??!! oh my!

you just never know what might come out of his mouth

i'm just thankful he made it to the wedding -- we went grocery shopping last week and as i was putting yogurts into the cart he blurts out " don't buy so many i might not be around long enough to eat those" oh dear! i told him it was not a good week to die and could he please wait...

in the end he had fun at the wedding

he even busted a move on the dance floor and raised the roof

at the bridal shower

with the groom

love this guy

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!
