Now normally I would take offense to the comment below. But in my older wise ways, I’m looking the other way, sort of…… Here’s a comment from Grandma Dixie,
I agree, of course, that your wife is really, really pretty, and it pleases me that her “fabtanstic†husband thinks so also. He is surely one of the best husbands I have ever known even if he is one of those Tea Party Republicans. He and I rarely agree on politics; however, I am glad that he is married to my daughter!!! Grandma Dixie
I pretty much agree with everything she says, yes the misses is really really pretty and I am (humbly) one of the best husbands there is, but, a Tea Party Republican, come on now, really? I don’t even know for sure what that means but if it stands for upholding the Constitution and smaller government, I guess I am one. The problem is the left has done such a remarkable job of vilifying that particular movement when in truth, from what I understand, Â they are just patriotic Americans who believe in smaller government. I just hate labels, they’re kind of general and offensive. It’d be like me calling her a member of Code Pink (the wacko leftist group) or a socialist or communist, or worse yet, an Obama supporter! Oh well, I guess we’ll have just to agree to disagree. In any case, I’m glad she’s my mother in law!
Now to the day, baseball started at 10 so we left at 9. Mom and Ty showed up for the first game but then left due to the cold and wind. Jag had lots more action and made some great plays. The two teams we played both ended up in the championship game so that gives you some kind of idea how good they were. No matter though, the boys played great and tonight we pick it all up again with practice from 5:30 until dark. One of our coaches who played college ball says Jag will be hitting it to the fences by the end of the year, he guarantees it. I think parents expectations are sometimes higher than reality, especially early in the year, but our coaches are all really pleased and they certainly know what they’re doing.
Meanwhile the youngest was playing hard all day until 4pm when Mom took both boys swimming at the Colorado School of Mines where spring swim is held. Right after that we all headed down to a local pizza joint for Ty’s award ceremony for basketball. He received a medal and certificate and had a blast, as usual. We all made it home by 6:30, pushed the boys into the showers and all settled in for a good nights sleep.
Lacey barked at 5am so I got up but didn’t feed her, hopefully she’s getting the message. Today the misses has a field trip with the school and I have a couple of calls, meetings and a trip to Fed Ex to get done. Grandma’s moving van is showing up here I think around noon so they can drop 50 boxes or so in our garage. We’re the only ones with any room, hope it’s enough as I only have one side partially clean as the rest if filled up!
That’s about it, time to run and get Jag up as he has tinikiling at 7. Next week is Spring Break but we’ll probably just be hanging around here as I have to finish our annual pre-sell. Hopefully we can do something the following week.
Take care and God Bless.
