Memorable Automobiles from The Past:
For today:
I smile
when I think of skipping pages in a ‘boring’ book. I have skipped pages,
chapters and sometimes skipped to the last chapter to see if it ended the way I
thought. BUT ONLY if I could have dropped the book altogether.
When Jack Jr was a kid Sherry had
several books she read to him, one we remember very well, Tom Terrific, was one that featured
‘Crabby Appleton.’ There were nights when it was my time to read to him I was
ready to go to bed myself and I would try to skip a page, NADA, Nothing doing,
he would turn the page back. Basically
saying “No Cheating Dad!”
There was a line he loved to
repeat, “Old Crabby Appleton, rotten to the core!” Once he really embarrassed
us in church, he looked up at the pastor and said, “Old Brother Taylor, rotten
to the core!”
There
are still former members of that church who know that line to this day and that
was about 60 years ago. LOL
That one was not quite as bad as
what happened to my BIL when he pastored a mountain church in North Carolina.
One of the members was breast feeding her baby and it kept dropping off the
nipple. As BIL the pastor walked by she was heard saying, “Take it, take it or
I will give it to the preacher!”
Needless to say he increased his
speed by that pew.
My dad
was a stickler for oil changes ‘on time’. He never believed it, but I too took
care of my engines, but it did not bother me to go over the schedule 500-700
miles. I always thought the oil companies were behind the frequent changes.
‘JMO’
I believe in an apple a day, but I
do miss some.
Exercise, I believe in it, but
now I think I am behind about a year, I NEED to fix that
Sorry
to bore you, but glad you stopped by.
Yeah, sometimes I miss my daily
multivitamin.

Out of the mouths of babes! I've had a few...well maybe a lot... of kid embarrassing moments. They bring a smile now when I think of them plus I felt no guilt when they got embarrassed by us when they were teens! Have a good weekend!
Rotten to the core and take it or I'll give it to the preacher.....I'm still ROFLMAO.....funny stuff usually is for real. I just finished my apple for the day......I love them but cannot eat them late at night. They're especially delicious in my oatmeal with raisins and walnuts...yum. and yes, my exercise has fallen by the wayside too since my back and neck are so messed up again.
Have a great day and take your daily multivitamin. lol
loven'hugs from up north where the sun shines bright but there's a chill again.
Your 'truth is stranger than fiction' illustrations have me cracking up over here! Wasn't it Art Linkletter who said, "Kids say the darndest things." Thanks for - as usual - brightening my day!
Love from sunny Bama!

Jack, SR. You and Sherry do know that I love you and your boys and grands and greats so very much! I READ YOU ALMOST DAILY, just don't comment becuz I have FIVE thousand unread emails ~ and that's the truth. I have reached that point where pick and choose which to respond to. Love y'all. Warm hugs from Chobee where we have the A/C on this evening.
Reading to kids is important and I wish more parents did that. It is encourages them to be good readers too. Kids can say some embarrassing things, bu5 2hq5 5h3y way iw usually 54u5hrul. I have a box to hold my pills so I don't for get to take them. They're is a slot for every day of the week. You had a good life growing up as a pastors kid and have more objectivity because of it.
OMG, I REMEMBER WHEN JACKIE, JR MADE THAT COMMENT! EVEN MAMA LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!! HE WAS SO ADORABLE THAT HE COULD GET AWAY SAYING ANYTHING!
MY FONDEST MEMORIES ARE OF WHEN YOU ASKED ME TO TAKE A BREAK FROM FAMILY DUTIES AND STAY WITH SHERRY AND BABY MARK, LITTLE JACKIE, JR FOR A WEEK WHILE YOU MUSTERED OUT OF THE AIR FORCE. SHERRY WOKE UP WITH STREP THROAT AND I HAD TWO KIDDOS TO FEED ~ BETTER THAN NINE IF I RECALL! YOU AND SHERRY AND THOSE BOYS MADE OUR CHURCH A "HAPPY PLACE". LOVE AND HUGS FROM CHOBEE, GLENDA
