Dog Party

It's been nearly a week since the dog party and lemmie tell you... everyone's still feeling the effects. We partied so hard some of us still got hangovers. Although I would be a constant drinker if i had to shuttle my spouse to every last place they need to go to. Now I'm not sayin Brandy drinks, but we all need that little sumthin-sumthin to take the edge off. Although be it a nice cup of coffee of a shot or two of 'shine-err- whiskey.... ahem! Nah, jus playin with ya cuz. I know you don't drink... or DO you.... (bum bum buuum) ha ha. ANYWAY, so when Brandy and Rob's friend (whose name I forgot... so bad at that ain't I?) heard about the dog party and that it was starting at around 3, he said "I'll give it to about 6." Little did he know the party lasted late into the night and didn't end till about 10 or 11-ish. The funny part was watchin my brother's daughter, Bailey, running, scared shitless, of the 3 dogs, "Left Eye" (banjo), "ADHD" (scout), and "tails" (tiffa). She finally calmed down, but that was only when the big dog, tiffa, was finally removed from the scene. John and Bailey left early leaving the rest of us to order pizza and sit around the campfire singing Koumbiah. Just kidding. Well that's all for now, I got to get off to bed before I pass out on my computer. PEACE!

Mark's health is not good - in addition to now being an insulin dependent diabetic, he needs risky heart surgery for a serious blockage (shut up, Mark, i'm allowed to tell this). I haven't seen Mark in EIGHT years - I'd like to see him before he has this operation. Since they can't do the operation until his sugar is and has been under control, I'm trying to talk him and Jackie into coming here for a visit. I can't go there since I don't have any time off until next February.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all get together in a few months?? All my brothers and sisters gathered together once again?? Yes, it would! Let's all put our thinking caps on and see what we can figure out. I do know Mark would LOVE to go to Cumberland if he can get here for a visit. I won't be able to go since, again, I have no time off, but I know several of you would love to go there too.

Any ideas or thoughts on how we can get this going?

Blessed is the servant who loves his brother as much when he is sick and useless as when he is well and can be of service to him. And blessed is he who loves his brother as well when he is afar off as when he is by his side, and who would say nothing behind his back he might not, in love, say before his face. ~St Francis of Assisi

DOG PARTY ( no not the bounty hunter)

um just for the record i did not tell Michelle about Darrell eating a dog cookie. i do have to admit that was pretty funny. I'm wondering why he didn't just finish it off. i mean if you think about it, if it wont kill a dog it ain't going to kill Darrell. I'm sure it was pretty hard and would have hurt his teeth though. hey Doug you should try a dog cookie. you know since you ain't got no teeth you could just gum the shit out of it till its nice and soft. sorry that's not nice. well i gotta tell you I've never been to a dog party before and it was quite interesting. i mean i never thought i would be celebrating the life of someone who licks their own ass and sniffs their shit after they take a shit. but hey, different strokes for different folks. well that's all i got for now... gotta go I'm killing me!!

Brandy, I heard you had a birthday party for Banjo, Please post the pics!! I bet she was so excited!! I also heard that your Dad just Loved the cookies.......

American Idol @ Tony's Workshop Is Back!!

We hope that you are all having a wonderful Easter Day with family and friends/or neither if you prefer it that way. Just wanted to let you all know that the American Idol contest at Tony's workshop (Monco Industries) near Goodwill on Kuntz Rd. is beginning for this year on Tuesday night, March 25th, @ 6:30 p.m. He enjoys it when his family comes to see him.
Things on the Amelia front are more of the same. I won't go into detail--not pretty and it's boring hearing the same thing over and over again.
Will talk to you all at some point. Take care.
