  • Cute kids! They’ll definately keep you busy, and it should be fun for all of you.
    I got the painting back, and I’ll re-send it to you. All I noticed on the painting itself were a couple small scratches, but I’m pretty sure I can touch those up. UPS will not respond at all, well, actually it’s Crawford Ins. Company who handles their claims. The glass from the frame is completely gone, but the frame looks ok. I’ll probaby disassemble it and send it in a smaller package. I’ll get it out soon so it gets there before you do!

  • Wow, stolen feet, i am honored!!!   except, why did i have to share my space with a PIG¿¿¿¿

    Lake Tahoe is so gorgeous.   It was COLD!!!   but sunny too.

    i did get to click on your olive tree photo.  they are pretty.   i was thinkin, when you have a hard time undersatning the bible, do what i do…CHEAT!  i use my kids bible.   it is always easier to understand.

    i would not feed the ducks my rice crispy treats…i would eat them myself and give them stale bread!

    well, better get to putting up a new photo before everyone gets up and in my way!

  • It must be hard on little kids to be diabetic, but the diet is probably better for them in the long run anyway. I know you are so excited. I hope you have a good trip home. It sounds wonderful. My kids LOVE Chuckie Cheeses. Brandi’s b’day is soon …. maybe I’ll take her there for her birthday.

  • Hi John, love your plans for your R&R, the kids will love the heck out of that.  Don’t give up on your x, she just may come around one of these days…better to keep a somewhat good relationship with her. 

    16 and counting, maybe 15 by now.  It’s Halloween here, are you going to post a pic of you in costume tomorrow?  Please?

  • RYC: Thank you for your comments. I am looking forward very much to seeing my grandbabies as they do indeed bring me great inner peace and comfort. I too have struck out twice before, good thing this is not baseball or I would be outta the game LOL As far as you one day being able to see your grandbabies, trust in God in all things as He does indeed know best, God Bless.

  • Dear John….I don’t know what to say.  So often the children suffer because one parent or the other refuses to act in a civil manner.  It’s none of my business, but what do you mean about your family will feel trapped if they go there for the party? Why can’t they leave there the same as they could at a public place?  Just love those girls and try to not talk negatively about the other side of the family where the children can hear. Prayers and hugs.

  • Yes, I do the same thing with my nieces and nephews.  I try to pick them all up, and we have a fun ‘Auntie Day’.  Go down to Town Lake to feed the ducks, then to Micky D’s or someplace they can run around together and also eat, then a movie they all want to see.  Great times, I see you agree with. 

    The kids look wonderful.  Do you know what they are dressing up as for Halloween?

    In case I don’t get on xanga tomorrow… Hope you have a safe and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Did you save anything special for your special day?

    Smiles and Hugs, Pershz.

  • *Did you save anything special TO EAT for your Birthday?  : P

  • I can almost feel your excitement  about getting home to see those kids. Made me smile. Make some memorys with them -enough to last a life time.,,,or 4 months till you get back home !!

  • Hiya John!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Ohh those kids are sooo lucky to have you. Yep you should definitely spoil those kids rotten hehe. I bet they love u to pieces & thats cool that u only have 16 more days until u get home, man I hope u get my letter before then lol..I sent it to you last Saturday but I don’t know how long it would take to get to you. Hmm anyways hope u get it soon.
    RYC: Umm you know I have no idea if my sisters BF went to FL by himself or is getting paid. I am probably guessing, getting paid to do it because I can’t see him doing it self volunteering.
    Awww I’m sorry ur missing Halloween, I’ll make sure to save some candy for you hehe. Thanks hun for both of ur comments. Hope ur doing okay. Take care….(((Big Hugs)))…Amanda

  • Happy Halloween.  I have a few problems similar to that in my family.  Not easy but I guess you have to make the best of it.  RYC.  I didn’t get your email.  I will try to send you one and see if that works.

  • Part of me got stuck in the crawl space under the house …everybody has a down time I guess…. I’m glad you are involved with your kids and their cousins. Many times today people are so busy with their own lives they let the kids raise themselves. They need your presense…even if it has to be on the phone or in letters right now until you return. . . The Tigress is a pretty broad river. Are there any crocodiles in it? jaywalSC

  • Cute kids… Praying for your safty…

    blessings,

    kim

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hi John, It’s me bothering you again.   I just read your comment on another site Re; reading.  Made me think of something you might do with the kids while you’re home.  (can’t remember how old you said they were).   I have a boom box with a dual cassette tape deck and a built in mike.  When our grandkids were smaller, I would read them stories.  While reading, I would turn on the recorder  and record what I was reading.  If they made a comment, that was on there too.   I would put more than one story on each tape.  That way, when they would go to bed on a different night, when it was not convenient to read, personally, I’d put the tape in and turn off the lights and let the tape go till it clicked off.  They were almost always asleep by then.  Just a thought.  That way they’ll have your “voice” on tape after you have to leave again.  When one grand-daughter lived about 4 hours away, I recorded a whole bunch, labeled them and sent them, with the books, to her for her birthday gift.  We still have them and she’s 16.   We have a whole library of home-made tapes in the kids closet at my house.  All younger kids love them.   Take care.

  • SO I KNOW I’M A COUPLE OF HOURS EARLY, BUT I’M WICKED TIRED AND HEADING TO BED EARLY…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  •   Man I bet that 16th day can’t come soon enough.

    X’s can be difficult. I was lucky mine moved to the west coast .He died shortly after returning to the east coast.

    We are a family of fishermen.   Keep the faith.

  • It’s your birthday??  Happy Birthday!!!!!  : )

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

  • So glad for you that the time is growing short for you to get to come home and see your little angels. I’m praying for God to bring you home safely.  Have a blessed week & God keep you safe.  HUGS

  • …YEA for R & R soon!!

    Really cute little kids to come home to! You must be SO thrilled…..

    Take care! Keep in touch!

    ~ g

  • happy birthday ,, get home safe
