Called my Dad, found out he and my mother are doing a bit of a concert at Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales, FL. . . getting a great meal for it, I can't top that.
My brother and I grabbed some Phils tickets for our grandfather (88 years old now)-- he doesn't get out much, so it'll be good to get him to a ballgame for a bit.
Lastly, the wife picked up the PDGA Tour Bag I'd been pining for some time. . . Now all I need is a course to play at.
Happy belated fathers day all you fathers out there.
I'm exhausted... cleaned up dads house top to bottom this weekend for him while I was watching the house, from pulling out all the furniture to washing all the walls, to cleaning the cars.
*passes out
Can't wait to go to the lake and do it all there now
Why not????? I went through this whole drill with my kids once before.... Now it's their turn!!!! Oh & I'll make them buy me the beer as well....
I like to get even now & again... When my son bought his first house, he had us over to show it off, he was so proud..... I got out of the truck, they were in the front yard, & threw down a bag of Mickey D's trash on the lawn.... My son looked at me & said what did you do that for????? I said, that's what you did in my yard all the time you were growing up.....
went off in my son's head & he's never forgotten it!!!!
My dad says he wants nothing. I said I'd pick him up some good steaks and we can grill out.
"nah, I don't want a steak. I'm good just as long as you don't get into an accident on your motorcycle..."
Um, I haven't told my dad yet and I don't plan on it. He's a big alcoholic and I'm the favored one in the family to do well in life. Wouldn't want my dad to go back into his heavy drinking stages knowing I... fell?
We're going to build one at my son's place for my granddaughters....
This is it. I placed the beer-drinking bench swing between the trampoline, pool,
sandbox, and slides to assure no need to get up...except for more beer.
Not quite finished, still needs stain and what looks like a chimney will be cut
to look like a castle with a window. Barbie castle is the girls wish...so it must be
done...sigh.
Horseshoe pit and area for vollyball net on the other end...myyy end!
Yeah just 150'x150'. Hate it. New construction area and they mow down all the trees. Sigh...
When the wife goes back full-time we want to move 3 towns northwest. 10 acres
can be had for $65g's...with a stream. It's like living in a fishbowl here.
I had to drop $1800 on a 18'x11'6" motorized awning for some freakin' shade
on the deck. Bastards.
You could really cut loose here.... I've got an acre & my son has almost that much...... My sub is called Green Acres because it was laid out in acre lots... They also planted maple trees in to front of all the lots... I've got 6 mature maples because I've got a corner lot.... Sub was laid out in the 40s... Newer homes on my side & older ones on the other side.... I built 12 years ago... Pretty great neighborhood, really....
Canadian dollar isn't that far off from US atm... think it's 1.09 or something, I just know that we can't sell any of our US cash cuz it's not worth it to us atm! *shakes fist
