Automobiles from another era:
1952 Buick Super
For today:
I have never heard anyone say that but my mama. She would day that and then break out laughing. But for a couple days now I have ‘Felt Unnecessary,’ LOL. Just sorta BLAA, lethargic, I guess?
But today it was
raining, I opened the basement garage doors, Ace, Deuce and Trey dropped out of
the underside of the Motor home and ran thru the rain to the open doors. I’m
sure they climb up on the engine to sleep when they refuse to come in the
basement at night.
I picked a couple things to ‘fix’. First was a new ladder that someone had lost on the interstate. Jack Jr. picked it up after a couple cars ran over it. (I am not sure how I would react at 65mph, if I had to try and dodge a large item like a ladder in the road.)
As I was doing the repairs
the kitties were playing at my feet. Ace was even climbing my leg like it was a
tree. I kep working and ignoring them then noticed they were gone. I am putting 4 pictures up, it was nap time, one of where they chose to nap and the other showing them awake when I started repairs on my
tiller.
Ace chose the John Deere
Deuce and Trey chose a
spot in my scrap lumber.
My noises don’t bother
them as much, they used to run to places unknown at the sound of a saw or
vacuum.
Oh, Grandson Steve and
wife, Jennifer, stopped by for a visit. Kennedy the youngest child picked up
the remote and asked, “What does this turn on?”
Stephen, pointing to
me, “Ask Grandpa.” She turned and walked
passed me.
Stephen, “Where are you going
Kennedy?”
“To find a real
grandpa.” And she went looking for her Grandpa Jack Jr. LOL

LOL what Kennedy said :) The wee one came over with his family yesterday for dinner and swimming. When it was time to get ready to go into the pool, he said "I don't have my swim costume" (meaning swim trunks). We just laughed at that then told him his swimming trunks were here at Grandma/Grandpa's house. They sure keep us laughing, don't they?
Those 3 kitties find unusual places to sleep! They look comfortable doing so though!
I think a lot of people think you are necessary Jack :) Blog world does :)
betty
Kids say the cutest and innocent things. The kitties are still cute!

The kittens are quite lively and cute. Cats get everywhere, don't they. Enjoy time with the family. Well done for fixing the ladder.
God bless you all.
Kittens can just lay anywhere - their bodies are so limp. I envy that. Kids are cute too with what they say!
I don't remember my mother saying anything like that, but ya. She'd sometimes remark out loud, "I don't know why I even try." (Heartbreaking now.)
I think this long HOT summer has lots to do with the blahs. Tom and I are experiencing much the same feeling.
Way to go, both you and JJ, for fixing the ladder. I'd have had a heart attack if it were to come flying up from the car in front of me.
You do so much I don't know how you could feel unnecessary, You are always doing, if not for yourself, you help others too. Those kittens surely to keep you entertained and I'm sure they'd be lost without you to give them food and a home there.
I've kind of felt that way after retirement. But we know we still have lots to do in life and I sure would miss your blog! Plus those cute kitties would miss you!
You, unnecessary? NEVER!~! It's understandable on gloomy days for me. I just can't get up and go like I used to. Today was one of those days. The big guy had been inside all day as well. Sometimes we just have to rest. You, however, are always busy helping the neighbors, friends and family. You're a pretty important guy. Kittens are so entertaining, even when they're napping.
loven'hugs from up north where I worked in the garden a bit today...where did all the weeds come from?
