The last two Grandsons~~~

Samuel
Adam

I have spent the best part of two hours trying to post these two grandsons photos, they both arrived as emails, I had decided to give up and start on the girls, when I thought, just one more try, and bingo, here they are. I don't think I did anything different, than all the other times I have uploaded photos, but I guess I should be grateful for small mercies.

Adam is the oldest son of my youngest son, Bruce, he is 20, an apprentice carpenter, a baseball player of some skill, and all the other things that go with being 20.
Samuel, on the other hand, is the youngest son of my youngest daughter, Shannon, and at this stage is just a very cute little boy, although Shannon did tell me last week that he has started crawling and climbing up on to things. Shannon is the only child of my second marriage.

I was to have another hearing test today, the appointment had been made 6 weeks ago. Living here in Bridgetown the audiologist only comes to town every 2 months, well yesterday they rang and said they were overbooked and I would have to wait until his next visit. It's not life threatening or anything like that, but sometimes you begin to feel like a second class citizen. As we are going to Perth next week I will try to see someone while I am there.

The Senility prayer

God grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, and good fortune to run into the ones that I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I am older, here's some things I have discovered:


1. I started out with nothing, and still have most of it.

2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and Allbran

3. I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

5. All reports are in; Life is now officially unfair.

6. It is easier to get older than wiser.

7. If all is not lost, where is it?

8. Some days your the dog; and some days your the hydrant.

9. I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few.

10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

11. Accidents in the back seat cause.....kids.

12. It's hard to make a comeback if you haven't been anywhere.

13. Only time beats a path to your door is when you are in the bathroom.

14, If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

15. When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?

16. It's not hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere.

17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

18. These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter....I go to get something, and then wonder what I am here after!

Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in truth, the four acts of the comic opera known as life, and they pass like bubbles of a bottle of champagne.
Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a complete fool.
