Sad News

It is with mixed emotions that I post here today. I got two calls yesterday, Saturday, July 09, that my biological dad died at 12:00 pm(that is noon if you are wondering). I say mixed emotions because the man just didn't know me. The last time he saw me was when I was 17, and then only for a few minutes.

I hate the loss of any life, but this one even moreso than any other at this time. There was never any one time that he wanted to know me or my two brothers. How do you deal with someone like that? I chose to just leave him alone, and let him be. It seemed to be what he wanted. But that just makes me feel like less of a person. Maybe I didn't try hard enough? Maybe HE didn't try hard enough? Who knows, I have just about quit beating myself up about it...

On a more positive note, I had my new granddaughter for most of the day Saturday! We had a great time of it. She is growing by leaps and bounds! You can actually get her to laugh for you now! She just laughs and squeals so much. I love playing with her. My wife took her Friday evening to see our oldest girl. She was over-joyed to play with her! I guess you could say that she is being spoiled!

Well, that is about it for me. I think I will go and dig in my freezer and see what I can come up with! Later Dayzzzzzzzzz!

Hot Days Ahead!

Hello, and welcome! Hey, sit down in the back and shut up...I'll get to you in a minute! Well, the youngest girl of mine finally graduated from school! It was an uphill fight for me and her mother to get her to finish. She lost too much time having the baby, and the last two weeks were just a pure fight to make her finish. We had to convince her each morning to go to school. She just knew she was wasting her time, and would never make up all of the work she missed! Well, she did, but it was a battle. When she got her diploma, I finally let my breath out! My God, she finally made it!

She also got married to the baby's daddy. I will spare you the details of how we felt about that..........suffice it to say that she could do better; much better. She moved out about three weeks ago. Now the baby is in the hospital with pnuemonia. She has been in since last Friday, and may get to go home on Monday, maybe.

Well, summer is definetly here! Temps of 100 and more are here! Don't worry, it is normal for here. I am going to find something cold to drink. Have I told you that I keep whiskey in the freezer to keep it cold? Try it, it doesn't freeze, so you have nothing to worry about. Beer doesn't work, so don't try that, and blame me for a mess in your freezer!

Later dayz, boys and girls!

Finally Back!

So, here I am late at night, Journey playing through the speakers (quietly, because of the baby), and I finally realize..."I have a few minutes to blog out 'cause the baby is asleep!" Seems like every time I sit down, someone hands me the baby! Don't get me wrong, she is totally spoiled by me. If I sit with her on a blanket on my couch, she has picked up the habit of propping one leg up on my stomach. Cool, ain't it?


Since you saw me here last, I have had a birthday (April 10)! I am now 51 years old. There is still a little tread on the old tires, if you know what I mean...Ok, the ol' lady had a birthday also(April 17). She is 49 years old. What can I say, it has been a strange couple of months since the baby was born! Having to re-learn all of the things you need to know about babies. Seems like that knowledge just stays buried in the back of your brain untill you need to access it!


There is not much else to say. I have been busy with the baby, as has everyone else. I forgot just how much attention babies need! I am trying to think of something to say here. I have started to baby-sit the two oldest grandchildren, Roze and Vinnie. Those two are a blast! You just never know what they will come up with next. Today they were banging on pots and pans...and the baby just slept right through it all!


I will say that I have been reading a lot of posts on facebook from a friend in Canada. Rock on girl! She was off the 'net for awhile, but it looks like she is back, and doing ok. I just want to wish her all of the luck in the world, and may she find peace wherever she may be.


Well, that is all of the news for now...I am outta here!

New Picture of Baby

I thought I would place a picture of the new grandbaby! Baby and mother are well, and doing fine. Baby is spoiled already, so my wife and I are doing our part!

We finally have a baby girl! She was born Friday night, the 11th of March 2011. She weighed 6pounds 8ounces. She was 19 inches long. Mother and child are now at home. Her name is Shianne Grace. She is already taking as much as four two ounce bottles at night! She is fine as far as we can tell.


Now, for other news. As of my last visit we now have high speed broadband internet! Surfing the web with high speed is a whole new experience, believe me. My blood-sugar levels are drastically DOWN as of late. Things seem to be on the up-swing for once! I think I will end on that note...

Hello, folks! Still no baby as of yet...any day now. It could be as much as two weeks before we get a baby! The doctor seems to think this will be a long pregnancy. Ok, more news on my doctor. I am back on insulin, and I am on something to help me lose weight also. I hope it works. Actually, I hope both work.


Ok, not much to talk about, we are all just waiting, and hoping we are well prepared when the time comes. I will let you know more when I know more. Hey, how did you like my picture that I put up? Pretty cool, huh?
