Lennon has always been my favorite Beatle! I do love Paul and George too. Ringo, eh…He is smart enough to know to surround himself with very talented people!

Daughter,

My dad only got an orange for Christmas. One year my uncle got a whistle and he got punished for blowing it! The good old days weren’t always so good.

My dad would always say that God helps those who help themselves. My sarcastic brother would respond with, “Well, then why do I need God?” Daddy would just shake his head and tell him, “God is always there for you, but He wants you to do your best.”

Years later my brother told my dad that God helps people who don’t help themselves. My dad said, “Yes, sometimes He does.” Lord knows that my brother was like a cat with 9 lives. Someone must’ve been looking out for him.

I miss my dad too, daughter. He was a kind soul.

When greeting a friend who said “good to see you” my dad often replied “I’d rather been seen than viewed”
He also frequently told me “one thing I’ve learned, you come into this world using diapers, and if you live long enough, you leave this world using diapers”
And his all time great—he often related how poor his family was when he was growing up during the Great Depression. He’d say “we were so poor I only got one thing for Christmas, a pair of overalls with a hole cut in the pocket. That way I got something to wear and something to play with”🤭🤗
I sure miss him….

Bumping this up....

Laurie ,

Thanks for the laugh .
I truly hope you are better soon . 🫂

My FIL did not allow anything hung on the walls either . He never wants to admit he belongs with these old people or that he needs AL . FIL is going on 90.

Laurie,

I agree with ITRR. I am sure that your dogs loved double dipping!

I will keep you in my prayers. Laughing is good for the soul. I’m so glad that you had a good laugh.

You made me laugh talking about socks matching. My youngest daughter would not match her socks on purpose! It was some silly trend going on.

It drove my mother nuts because she was a perfectionist and very fashionable even in her older years. I could have cared less if her socks didn’t match! LOL

Laurie, I pray that your treatment is successful and that The Lord touches you and heals you completely. May HE touch your mom and give her healing, peace and comfort, both of you actually.

I have to say, I bet your dogs didn't argue one bit about double kibble. Mine will try to tell my hubby that they haven't been fed, 5 minutes after I feed them. Sneaky big buggers.

I got a good laugh from your story.

A friend asked how I was doing. My mom is in memory care and fell and broke her hip. She's in skilled nursing currently and I just finished my infusions for lymphoma. Being a bit overwhelmed and tired it hit me as hilarious! I said "really well; my socks match today, and I fed the dogs twice! Literally tears of laughter. It felt so good for both of us.

ITRR,

I hadn’t heard the dynamite one. Funny!

Nelson,

So interesting how your dad reacted to the paintings, isn’t it?
