saturday

Oldest son's birthday is tomorrow.
He was the prettiest baby I'd ever seen..........even to this very day I've never seen a baby as pretty as he was........and he was a good baby, a happy baby....................an easy child to raise.........
I'm having him and his girlfriend over for dinner tomorrow.
My chicken and dumplings are his favorite.........so it's what I'll cook for him..................and he loves cheesecake.......so I'll make that too.
I know it's corny. But I like cooking for my kids.
So any hoo.................................................................middle son is in Gatlinburg with his girlfriend.............daughter is at work....................Mr. Bojangles and We-ping just just went out the back door..........Mr. Bojangles was mad at me I think for leaving town. He was aloof when I got home......now he's over it and being affectionate.

Eight years ago  mom had been diagnosed with colon rectal cancer and was having some pretty serious heart problems...........her oldest daughter was turning 50..................mom didn't think she'd be around to see her other 4 daughters turn 50.........so when she bought oldest sister a pair of diamond earrings for her birthday she also bought 4 other pairs and tucked them in her closet for dad to give to each of us as we turned 50.
She didn't die...........and has been there to give each of four of her daughters the earrings. Next year she will give the last pair to youngest sister.
So I received a beautiful pair of half carat diamond earrings for my 50th! I love them.

Damn, sure sorry I'll miss the chicken and dumplings, not to mention the cheesecake, my last wife made the best damn cheesecake.

I'm gone so much for four or five days at a time that my cats don't even give a shit, they just hang out in the yard and eat at Helen's.

I hope that I don't ever lock on in here for four days, I'll have one pissed off cat.

So have you been pushed over into the new Blogger dashboard thing? I've been seeing a lot of bitching about it, including my bitching about it.

But that's life on this rock so I have to muck around in it until I learn to tweak it and get things working to my liking again.

Fucking geeks, always 'improving your experience.'

Mine hasn't changed, Billy.

I like the picture of your cat. She's cute!
