Broken and Spilled out

Interesting things happen to me. I am sorry to say that cannot write about all of them . It would take too long and you might not find them as interesting as I do.

I sang a a concert today at our Seniors Citizens meeting (Merry Makers). One of the songs I sang was beautiful and meaningful Steve Green song called 'Broken and Spilled Out' . One verse says " broken and spilled out and poured at you feet.." While singing this verse I accidentally kicked my open bottle of water all over the stage and my feet!
The 'spilled' water 'broke' the mood!

You can't make up these blessings!
Pray for me.

Frying Turkeys

I have been frying turkeys for a long time. I bought a cooker with two other friends years ago and we cooked our turkeys together each year. I was always the one who had to leave early, so the other guys drained the oil and cleaned the pot. Well over the past few years my friends gave up on the turkey frying and the cooker became mine. Now I’m having to drain the oil and clean the pot. But not any more!

I cooked two turkeys on Monday when all my children were in town and planned to drain the oil and clean the pot the next day. I got up early the next morning and decided to go to breakfast while my family was sleeping. I backed over the turkey pot with my truck! Yes, the oil was still in the pot, and now on the driveway! I loaded the mangled pot and the rest of the oil into my truck and took it straight to the dump.

I’ll bet you thought I started a fire!

What a Christmas!

Over a lifetime we forget more Christmas gifts than we remember. There are some you never forget:the bike, chemistry set, and BB gun for example.
Christy and I will never forget the gift our Grandchildren gave us this year. Intestinal Virus! That’s correct, we were sick for 3 days!

There should be a set time where sick grandkids are quarantined. Even if they seem to be over their sickness, that little bug is still out there waiting for some loving grandparent to hug and kiss their little sweetheart.

We received gifts of love from all our children and appreciated them, but the lasting memory of Christmas 2008 will be the ‘gift’ from our grandchildren.

What A Christmas!
