The Coffee House

[smoke665]

Gary never had second thoughts about dragging the little angels to formal dinners and events.

Wasn't that ours couldn't behave when they needed to, as they also attended a few formal events as well, but they had a knack for catching you with your guard done. When youngest son was close to 4 he got away from his Mom in a rather large clothing store. One of those that was filled with the circular racks. Like a little rat he would hide in the center of a rack, then slip to another and another. She had to call security and basically shut down the store as they did a sweep, eventually flushing him out on the far side.

Though I couldn't blame my wife because he had slipped away from me in Church one Sunday around the same time frame. I was watching him and another boy the same age in a back pew, while the Mom's were in the choir. I turned my head when someone spoke to me, and when I turned back they were gone. I didn't have long to wonder where they went, as two pews up a woman jumped up. All I could do was watch red faced and gauge their progress as one pew after another people were being "called to stand up", as the boys continued to crawl to the alter, where at last I grabbed them, much to the roar of laughter. The preacher remarked that he might need to enlist the boys to help him with his service in the future as they were getting more reaction from the congregation then he had with any of his sermon and that Rays Stevens and his Mississippi Squirrel Revival had nothing on these two.

Wow. Dave feels somewhat lucky that he never found a significant other or had kids!
Having the unconditional love of a dog is enough he thinks...

I've tried all sorts of squash recipes and while they were okay, I'm just not a fan of most. I do like Zucchini and yellow sliced raw, sauteed with onions in oil, or battered and deep fried but pass on the others.

Thursday I noted that the hydrangea had five or six really nice blooms and I was going to cut them and put them in a vase so I could enjoy them this week. I totally forgot and we had such a cold night last night that the blooms are dead, the entire plant is now dormant and about to drop all its leaves which died overnight.

iPhone - from this morning.

Every now and then we get hit with a frost. The front yard plumerias and orchids take a beating but survive. The backyard plumerias get KIA-ed.

We’re preparing to be off to an engagement party for one of my wife’s co-workers tonight. It’ll be the first time away from the bouncing baby boy. My wife’s best friend and her husband and son are coming over to watch the baby and the beast. It’s nice to have some people we trust implicitly to watch them.

Don’t forget to look for teeth marks.

Daves cousin, one biological Son and one adopted Daughter came by. Monday they leave for Wyoming. One of our dogs who has not had much/any socialization with people tried our patience. Never actually bit anyone but acted like he would.

Dinner in about an hour will be Tacos and Tostadas. Dave thinks this is a lovely idea.

Carry on hosers.

Our dog will not eat when I am not home. He pouts the entire time I’m out of the house. I think it’s because I work at home most of the time so he’s used to having me there. When we go on vacation he stays with my aunt who spoils him with homemade meals and too many treats.

If you are gone ... how do you know he pouts? Most adult dogs just sleep when their humans are gone.

My mom and my daughter tell me he lays on the couch looking sad and doesn’t even bark when someone walks their dog past our house or the mail carrier comes to the door. He won’t take a cookie from them or play with Princess. When I get home, he spazzes over to the door to greet me then, once I say hi and pet him, he runs over to eat whatever treat they tried to feed him while I was gone.

Therapy might help.

Tried that...oh, you mean for the dog? LOL.
