I’m wake at 0’dark thirty due to my barking pal. \u00c2\u00a0Apparently\u00c2\u00a0when she eats dinner a half an hour earlier than her normal schedule she wants..demands her breakfast an hour and a half earlier. \u00c2\u00a0That math just doesn’t quite work. \u00c2\u00a0Oh well being up this early gives me a little quiet time to enjoy.<\/p>\n
I was just about to get some exercise\u00c2\u00a0yesterday when the phone rang and the school was calling. \u00c2\u00a0The oldest was in the clinic felling very nauseous, so off I went to retrieve him from school. \u00c2\u00a0He stayed in his bed reading and completing homework that his teachers gave him. \u00c2\u00a0At 11:30 we had to run a few errands including the bank, the toy store, the book store and a quick return at the grocery store. \u00c2\u00a0The oldest finished the Harry Potter series, so I bought him a new book…The Tales of Beedle the Bard (a character from Harry Potter). \u00c2\u00a0He really wants to read War and Peace, as I remember the book..it was a bit difficult to follow and very long. \u00c2\u00a0Who am I to discourage his ambition? \u00c2\u00a0I think I will check that book out from the Public Library.<\/p>\n
The boys were lounging on the couch on Sunday…all legs. \u00c2\u00a0I thought I would post a picture so you all may see how they grow on a daily basis, and so daddy may see his boys just hanging out.<\/p>\n
My Dad’s buddy…college room mate..passed away yesterday. \u00c2\u00a0I can remember all the pranks they would play on each other all the way through adulthood. \u00c2\u00a0The men(boys at heart) had an ongoing bet on the Cal vs.Stanford game and the winner would do something to the loser. \u00c2\u00a0The first memory I have of these pranks is when I was 3. \u00c2\u00a0Kenny, my Dad’s great friend T.P.’d (toilet papered) our house on Southgate road. \u00c2\u00a0We had two huge oak trees in the front yard and I don’t think Kenny missed a branch. \u00c2\u00a0One of the years that my Dad’s team won he took me with him to Kenny’s to return the prank. \u00c2\u00a0I was really young and boy was sneaking around quietly trying not to get caught fun. \u00c2\u00a0It must have been only 8’o’clock at night, so you can imagine how quiet we had to be. \u00c2\u00a0I was laughing so loudly inside that had a giggle escaped we would have been doomed. \u00c2\u00a0One year Kenny and his boys caught us and Kenny’s \u00c2\u00a0wife, Marion was standing in the front doorway holding back a laugh of her own. \u00c2\u00a0Marion is a lovely, sweet and quite “proper” as I remember her..I think they invited us in after we were “busted”. \u00c2\u00a0My memories may not be exact, but I do cherish what I do remember of the rivalry that included bragging rights for an entire year. Great memories, and I am so very sad for my Dad’s loss.<\/p>\n
I need to wake the boys…the oldest is quite ticked off at me because I called his name instead of going up to his room to wake him. Wait until he comes downstairs and realizes the time is 25 minutes later than he wanted to get up. \u00c2\u00a0Boy am I in for some attitude. \u00c2\u00a0The youngest was up late due to an itchy rash, so he is going to be in a pleasant mood as well. \u00c2\u00a0At least the dogs are now quite happy…<\/p>\n
Uh oh..time to go I hear stomping feet coming down the stairs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
God Bless and please keep my Dad and Mom in your prayers. \u00c2\u00a0My mom was supportive of the friendship including pranks for I’m guessing 50 years. So, this is a difficult loss for her too.<\/p>\n
Love to all,<\/p>\n
