Whoa, It's Been Awhile

Well St. Pat's Day is over for another year. I wore green today, but that is where it started and stopped. We have gone to the parade in years past, but I think it is overrated. I hate standing in the cold watching floats, and who feels like drinking green beer with frozen feet. Nope, I'll pass. We did go out for supper with Grandpa and Grandma. It was nice. I appreciate them so much. They are definitely a blessing in my life. I can't wait to go camping this summer. We play cards and dominos non stop and some bouche ball to boot. Our first trip this year will be Memorial Day. We are trying to find a good used camper. We have had the old Holiday Rambler for 8 years, and we are ready for something nicer and newer. It is different now with the kids all grown. I don't suppose any of them will be camping with us this year. So it is kind of a new experience, like reinventing the wheel. But I'm sure we will have good times. The years have gone so quickly by. And so it goes. Well, I read another good book, The Story of Joe. It is excellent and definitely written from a man's perspective. It is about a guy who has kind of a rough time through high school, and after moving away writes a book about the people in his town. It is less than flattering and then when his dad gets sick he goes back to suffer the wrath of the townies. It is a good read, and amazingly I read it in one day. I handed the book to Greg at 10:30 pm and he stayed up all night reading it, and enjoyed it too. Well, that is it for now. Hopefully this will have broken the writing fast and I will be back soon. Of course I don't even know if anyone is still reading this, so it may be a moot point. Later.
