May 5 - 11

Fortunately, for you I have no video to go with the story.

Ok, I just get home from work and my wife is telling me that she is going out for lunch and to run around to do some errands. I tell her to go have some fun. Our lives are a little crazy right now trying to get the kids ready for the move. So I am changing from my dress clothes to my yard work clothes, as I look down I see my wife’s phone sitting on the dresser. I look down out the window and I see her getting ready to drive out the driveway. 

At this point I am only wearing my underwear, however, I know how upset she will be to not have her phone. I see one of her blouses on the dresser and I throw it around me and I run out near naked and barefoot. Unfortunately her shirt is rather small and does not do what I was hoping it would do.

I am now running in the driveway trying to get her attention, when I realize that she is staring at me like out of a horror movie. Because I am holding the shirt up I am not able to show her the phone until I finally catch her.

I know at this point she would love to have a photo of me , but I would really like to have a photo of her face seeing me running half naked towards her.

Again, thank goodness I don’t have the video for you.

Apr 28 - May 4

We are watching the grandchildren this weekend while my oldest is here in Sac for a wedding. I do believe that she fed them lots of sugar and caffeine before she dropped them off. I just told my grandson to pick up his stuff and he told me “why, it’s your house?” 

I do believe that all potential parents should watch someone else’s kids for a weekend before they make that life changing decision to have their own.

Here is a video of them after they took apart the inflatable mattress.

Apr 21 - 27

Ok, so the goose  finally hatched her eggs, but not without lots of drama. Apparently, an old boyfriend showed up at the last minute, I assume claiming these were his babies. So the male goose who has stayed in the neighbors pond, over looking the mom and her nest the whole  4 weeks,  was suddenly having it out, with what I am assuming is an ex in our own front yard. My wife had to go out and break it up.

So then when all the goslings are hatched they leave our property and go over to the neighbors fancy pond, and we are left with nobody, not even the ex.

Very disappointing.

Meanwhile, in the hall going into our bedroom from an outside deck, I found a birds nest again.

If I thought we had a chance of these birds staying, I would have given them a shot, but with my luck, they would be woodpeckers.

Apr 14 - 20

So I seem to have a problem. As I look it up on the internet, I see it can be a serious 

Problem. Every two weeks I order 120 cookies from Bella Bru bakery for Taylors. Well, they deliver these cookies to FlapJacks and then I transport them to Taylors in Loomis. 

OK, you are driving next to 120 freshly baked Chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter and gingersnap cookies.

As you can probably figure out, 120 cookies never actually reach Taylors. I try to tell myself that oatmeal raisin is a healthy alternative to a salad, and actually I think I am right. Wait a minute, I don’t think I have a problem at all.

Never mind.

By the way I saw all the eggs underneath the mother goose. Next weekend is supposed to be the big day of hatching.
