Now THIS is REALLY living !!!!!

My soon-to-be-6-year-old grandson got an oversized blowup baseball bat at a local festival.  Naturally, it became the latest of his secret weapons whose sole purpose is to destroy Papaw.  We took turns beating each other all over the house with it this weekend. 

:-)

At one point he was wailing on me with it while I was looking in the refrigerator for some needed fuel to continue the battle.  He was pounding away kind of like the boy in the Volkswagen commercial.

He paused just long enough to say, "Now THIS is REALLY living !!!!" 

...then continued wailing on me with his secret-weapon-specially-designed-to-destroy-Papaw.

HAhahahahahaha !!!!!!!!

If he only knew how powerfully true that sentiment was in my heart at that exact moment ...

Pride Alert !!!!

We attended the White Coat Ceremony for our daughter's entrance into the Pharmacy program at the University of Kentucky Friday at the Singletary Center for the Arts.  What a lovely ceremony !!!!!!!

We are so very proud of our baby girl !!!!!!!

After the ceremony we had dinner with her, her roommate, and her roommate's family.  It was a lovely day and evening.

Thank You, Lord, for Your many, many blessings on our family !!!!!!!


By the way, my baby girl makes fun of me for using so many excalation points.  :-)

Moving my Baby Girl Tomorrow ...

I'm so proud of my baby girl !!!!!

After only 3 years of undergraduate work she has been accepted into one of the top pharmacy schools in the country at the University of Kentucky.  Moving her to Lexington tomorrow.  Her White Coat Ceremony is next Friday.

So. Very. Proud.

I told her she was going to have to get a cat or something, though, because I'm keeping her dog.

Yea, right !!!!!
