ONLY IN NEW MEXICO!

Dad and mom would have laughed and nodded their heads at most of these! You know you're from New Mexico when: You don't think it's weird that everybody stares at you when you walk into the Frontier. You snicker whenever someone from out of state tries to pronounce your last name. You've had a school... Sign in to see full entry.

The ' L I T T L E ' Things

I got this in an e-mail. It reminded me of the way both dad and mom looked at life. Me too! So I am posting it here. I think they would like it.

LAUGH ME A HALO

I was thinking about my dad last night as I watched Jay Leno. Dad used to call him Jaw Lean-Oh! So every time I watch the "Tonight Show" and hear them introduce Jay Leno, it makes me smile. Then late last night I was watching an A&E biography of Gene Tierney. When I saw a silhouette picture of one... Sign in to see full entry.

MOM: THE BEST EVER!

I was driving down the street that passes by my Jr. High School. It's called a Middle school now. Even the sports' teams have changed names. They used to be the "Madison Mohawks," now they are the "Magic." Nothing really unusual about that. I find myself driving down this street at least once a... Sign in to see full entry.

ALMOST A STALKER?

Yeah, I almost became a stalker the other day at K-Mart. I was there because they had a good buy on paper towels. They had sold out so I was on my way up front to get a rain check when I saw him. No it wasn't a long lost boy friend it was...my dad. I just got a glimpse of him rounding the corner in... Sign in to see full entry.

How Fathers Were Created

If this isn't the way it happened it is the way it should have: When the good Lord was creating fathers, He started with a tall frame. A female angel nearby said, "What kind of father is that? If you're going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put fathers up so high? He won't be... Sign in to see full entry.

I WANT TO MEET MY UNCLE MILTON!!

You might think that means that I want to meet Milton Berle, Uncle Milte of TV fame. Nope. You might even think I am referring to the epic poet John Milton. Not him either. I want to meet the Milton who would have been my uncle. He looks so happy in his picture (last post). Almost like he knows... Sign in to see full entry.

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED (Memories of Dad & Mom, mostly dad)

Some assembly required, those words send shivers down the spines of parents all over the world. The ten speed bike comes with ten speeds, all separate. We have to figure out how the dang things fit together. - There are, of course, the instructions. If I remember correctly my dad always threw these... Sign in to see full entry.
