Papa Smurf speaks

I just could not resist the potty chair pic, it kinds make you want to dump on its face. Well just now we are watching three moms who are pregnant. The fourth says she is switching to bottled water so she doesn't get fragrant. Tiffany is on complete bed rest to the next two weeks until Jackson Tidrow completes that family. Good job Shawn 3 boys 1 girl. Stacey is Michael's significant other and she is hoping for an event in the next 2 or 3 weeks, however the due date is 22 nov. Suzanne is due in march so everythis is going niceley for her. Wow let me count Jonathan,Taylor,Lauren,Vanessa,Austin,Ashlynn,with Jackson, and Aiden coming very soon and "Bozo" due in March. Gee thats 9+.The plus is for Charity and Kinsley. I never imagined that many grankids, It is truly awesome. Now I must tell you about Angry Birds which I downloaded on the Ipad. I have gotten thru 20 levels and its addictive. My newest thang is the Arcade Baseball game called "Hit the Deck Baseball" and its a recreation of the old arcade pinball baseball game. "so cool" I am 187 out of 616 games or 30.3% done. The Pirates Bob Friend won his 10th tonight and the Giants lead the NL by 6.5 games and the White Sox lead the AL by 2.5 games. The game of choice here is Replay Baseball. I went thru my archives recently and sold 4 sets of old Replay cards and made $80 bucks. Not bad for an old curmudgeon. Well as John Bench says Catch you later.

Who Are These people

Bunch of goobers it looks like. Naw thats my sister Jeanine and her kids Richelle,Robb Rhett and Ryan. Hey Yall. Went to see Cars2 this week and its a winner. Plus I can't wait on the last Harry Potter movie. Went to my other sister's house on Wednesday for a cookout and games and fireworks and Dad in the pool. I guess old shit floats pretty good. He said he had a great time and really cooled off in Fern's pool. Mike is going to drill next weekend some where in Lawrence he says. Pat reports that Vanessa turned 4 Thursday. Shawn's wife Tiffany got bed rest from her doctor because of preclampsia symptoms during her pregnancy. Mikee's girlfriend Stacey has cervical cancer with hers. So its a stressful time for them. Tiffers and Shawn have decided to call this newest boy Jackson Andrew Tidrow. Stacey says she will call hers Adin Michael. I'm calling mine minnie me!~!! Haven't heard from Tim lately but he evidently won the household rummy game as Jessica was complaining about now she has to cook dinner clean it up, bathe Ashlynn, put her to bed, and change her diapers. Girls should know better than to play cards with us boys, they'll end up naked every time. See ya later, oh I forgot to tell ya Tropical Glen.com is a great oldies sight, I listen all the time.

Books Books Books

Well I owe my wife of 25 years an apology and "I am sorry." A few months ago she declared that I would need to get of lots of books, clothes, and stuff before their would be room for me in our new home (as yet undecided). I immediately paniced seeing my self alone in a room with one chair,a TV, my Nook, and one suit of clothes. I of course rebelled at this solitary notion. Next she put our home on the market and ripped out one of my bookshelves. Now I really worried, would I be left with no stuff at all! again I howled like a cat in heat. We had words in which she denied all of it and more. I of course ignored this. Well time passes and I am still harping on the subject. Until today. I have a bit of cabin fever what with the ice and snow and snow and ice and snow. Well I get the bright idea to join a book club rahter than going shopping and I asked mommy for permission and now I have 4 books on order (Washington,Colonel Roosevelt,For Us the Living, and Lincoln in 3D). Now I should have been happy but no not me I pressed on. Next I looked up my favorite place to buy books Amazon.com. And again I asked please. Again permission granted and on order is 3 more books at half price (Lion of Liberty,Fall of Giants, and New York Times Civil War Complete). Now thats 7 new books on order and all I have to do is select 12 old books from my archives to make room for the new. So I guess I am happy and sorry. And to top it all off I unexpectedly got the 2011 Swimsuit edition and Replay baseball 2010. Wow just plain Wow!!

has it really been 2 mos

Well lets see thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's came and went so happy holiday to ya all. I have found my self, started looking when my blog said I had no followers and I know some of you are out there. This was an attempt to force my self to write other things more and any way my hands hurt (arthiritis ya know). So that failed miserably. Lets see if I can remember what I got for Christmas. um......a Chicago Bears hat (go Bears) a new coat (size 6x but it runs small?) a leg lamp from the movie Christmas story, tickets to the play Wicked, and some surprises. Tim will be coming home in a week before being sent to his duty station at Ft Campbell,ky. Shawn is enrolled for another Ivy Tech semester. Mike turned 21, and Pat is Pat. Susan is giving piano lessons every day of the week now and she is begining to groan like I did 5 years ago. Ashlynn is nearly 6 mos old, and Austin is still the same crazy kid. Shawn's clan and we went to see Harry Potter vol 1 of last movie. It was great. Also saw Little Fockers. Later in the month I saw Meet the Fockers, so now all I need to see is the first one. I saw that the HOUSE passed a repeal of last years health care bill, but I don't see it getting by Obama. I bought the Strato all time nfl greats cards and have played 7 games thus far. Nfc 4 Afc3 brought about by the most recent Eagles 41 Chargers 31. Next up is the Chiefs vs Rams. I don't know if that catches me up by thats all for now and I'll be back soon.
