Amazing Things Over The Years


Throughout the years, I have marveled at the ingenuity and imaginations of my sons. These boys have never ceased to amaze me by the things they have said and done. Here are some things I thought I would share.

No sleep before moving a cemetery.
A knife and an electrical outlet.
Catching fish while breaking all the fishing rules.
Burning marshmallows to flannel shirts
Kitty Cat football
Wrestling in the living room
Singing contests won
Football practices and games played (wins or losses doesn’t matter)
Wisdom beyond your years
Laughter above measure
Long walks and equally long talks
Shooting the Clicker
Semi-automatic pistols
Beautiful wives (physically, emotionally, spiritually)
Driving lessons
Car accidents
Moon Pie bribes to Police Officers
Driving without headlights and getting caught

I guess all I am trying to say is, I love you guys…a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.

and thank you for coming to those practices and games even if I didn't get out on the field very much. and the wrestling thing you said you would take me out of football if I didn't win so ya I like that too. I still have the clicker and will evermore cherish it. as far as the moon pies IDK I thought it was twinkies... I remember you making us wake up before the sun came out to walk at least a mile a day and you know thinking back on that now I sure do miss those days. Oh and I still think that was a cool trick... I could turn off all the lights in the house just by sticking that knife in the lamp in my room. Also making inflatable beds with the cars exhaust pipe and on the same trip both me and Joey cutting ourselves with that hatchet. Or the UT games we went too. Or the race from home to Martinsburg coC by me and Joey running while yall took the van. Or how about me first learning how to read and yall wanted to go out to m-c-d-o-n-a-l-d-s. Or how I thought I was helping by putting salt in the sugar jar before an eat out at the house in Louisville. Wow the list goes on and on and on and I will still lub you a shrub and nub.
