Memorial Day

 This Memorial Day weekend I'm thinking about my son Brian first, but I'd like to also honor and thank those who served in the military, who have died, Jim Hatcher, Jimmy Wallace and Thomas Diaz my dad.  Thank you so much for your service, each of you.

Missing Jimmy so much today.........

Happy Holiday Week

To my two brothers, one on the other side of the U.S.A. and the one in the pool, I want to wish both of them a happy holiday filled with the love of family & friends and lots of good food to eat.

Today we salute the fallen soldiers who have died serving their country and to those brave men I say, "Thank You, for a job well done!" If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here blogging freely saying whatever I want to say.

I'm wishing clear blue skies for everyone on this holiday weekend and for those that are lucky to be celebrating with family for the entire week....well most of it anyway, have fun.

Hope you don't see any of these this week
while you are swimming in your pool.

Getting ready for the holiday

Jybow's job is to make sure that the
hammock is comfortable
and,
free of any bird poop.

I think she's sleeping on the job.

Last, but not least
are the windows...
and YES! he does windows too.

I'll leave you with a little humor.

Retired (and making it fun)



Working people frequently ask retired people what they
do to make their days interesting.


Well, for example, the other day Jimmy and I went
into town and went into a shop. We were only in there
for about 5 minutes. When we came
out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.


We went up to him and I said, 'Come on man, how about
giving a senior citizen a break?'


He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a
Dumbass. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn
tires.


So Jimmy called him a shithead. He finished the second ticket
and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing a third ticket.


This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him,
the more tickets he wrote.


Personally, we didn't care. We came into town
by bus.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're
retired. It's
important at our age

***I take no credit for writing the above joke, except for the insertion of the name Jimmy where Mary used to be.

I knew there was a reason that I suddenly craved hotdogs....
It's Memorial Day weekend. A time to relax, fire-up the grill and take the day off.

Try not to visit too many grave sites. It's fine to pay tribute to all who have died serving our country, but please also try to spend your time with those that are still living.

Have a nice and safe holiday weekend.
