Dad 422: Glen, Golf, Goose

(I still haven't seen Zachariah.... Maybe tonight! Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another wonderful summer day for us to enjoy. The weather has been summer-like and the grass is the greenest I have ever seen it in August. Must mow tomorrow! Will do!

 

Our Illinois family is visiting Joe's folks (George and Jackie) in Randolph (near Augusta) today. Joe's folks are seeing Bode's dad (Zachariah) for the first time this summer. Zach flew in last Saturday night and has been very busy this week. He has been boating on the Atlantic as well as Little Sebago Lake. He is meeting all of his Maine family and fits in quite well. He will be golfing tomorrow with Glen, Josh, and Zack (Zachary).

 

Today Lew went golfing with Glen and the boys; Lew and Josh played against Glen and Zack. Lew and Josh won again (two holes up and by six strokes), but Glen had the shot of the day. He drove a ball on a line and hit a goose. The goose will not be down for breakfast. Upon reporting the event to a worker, Glen got a handshake and was told he wished he had killed all the geese. I guess they are a nuisance on the course.

 

So much for today!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Zachariah Is Here!

Zach actually arrived via airplane Saturday night, so I am a few days late with this announcement. I should be excused for my oversight, though, because I have yet to lay eyes on him!

The Illinois family has been playing hard, and I have been at work the past couple days. So our schedules haven’t matched up at all. But I am convinced Zachariah is indeed here for a couple reasons:

1) Lew claims to have seen him. That should be good enough, but just in case....

2) I have seen pictures taken within the past couple days showing Zach with people I know are currently in Maine.

Zach, if I don’t see you tomorrow, I will see you at the big family shindig on Thursday!  😊

The Breakfast Bunch

Kim and Joe joined us for breakfast out this morning with our regular breakfast buddies, Dick and Carole.

We had a few people glancing in our direction by the time we finally left. Why? We were definitely the noisiest, rowdiest, most fun table in the restaurant! We laughed loud and we laughed hard.

Yes, people stared... and we didn't care.... The other tables were just jealous of the great time we were having!

Find the Kitty

Lew and I spend a lot of time looking for our cats. We need to make sure they aren’t locked in a closet — especially if we are leaving the house for any length of time. At bedtime we need to make sure they are on our side of the house; just last week Marilyn almost spent the night over with my parents.

Jerry and Marilyn have their favorite spots to hide, but sometimes they come up with new places. Marilyn’s latest one stumped us for a while!

Dad 421: The Gang's (Almost) All Here

(Hmmm.... What was I like at seven months old?! Ha ha! Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! August 1st! Really! Is the summer half over? Yes it is! For the next week or so the weather is supposed to be kind of unstable. (Something like me walking around.)

 

Bode made it to Maine on July 28th. And yes, Joe and Kelsey were with him. He is the most pleasant seven-month-old child I have ever seen. We all are enjoying him. He visited Joe's parents Sunday and was a big hit. I'm sure he will be happy when his dad (Zachariah) gets here Saturday... as we all will be happy to unite father and son.

 

It was a very great moment a couple days ago as Spouse and I sat in our small apartment with our grandkids (Kaelen, Kelsey, Josh, and Zack). All we needed was Kelsey's husband, Zachariah. Maybe next week!

 

Keep praying for Spouse as we get closer to the date of her surgery. Three weeks from tomorrow is the day. We will remind you every week.

That's it for now, sooo....

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!

Adam Is Five!

Adam’s birthday was two days ago (Sunday). He is the coolest 5-year-old I know! 

Bode Is Here!

Oh.... Joe and Kelsey are here, too!

Some introductions....
