Drugs and alcohol.

The drugs help my ailments. The alcohol is in the liniment I use on my joints to keep me moving so I can play with the grandkids. Nothing tops grandkids.

Absolutely nothing.

1- Spending time with my daughter. I don't think it's possible to love someone more than I love her!

2- Going to the range and shooting a one hole group.
3- To be outside in the summer grilling out with the smell of fresh cut grass mixed with the smell of burgers on the grill.
4- To look at a project I just built and to have the satisfaction I did it and it was done the rite way.
Take care Dale

Yep- we have 9 so far. As Judge Judy said- "I love to see their mothers head lights as she pulls in ; and I love to see her tail lights when she pulls away."

Nothing better than a nice sunny day, some big water and me in one of my sea kayaks with miles and miles to paddle.

Tomorrow.
(and today)
(and yesterday's fond memories)

I pray thanks at every meal and every night, and I have to keep it short because if I tried to pray for all the things I'm thankful for, wouldn't have time to do anything but pray thanks.

I'm kind of enjoying the rain we're getting.

Been a long time since we had a soaker.

My coffee and my wife's hot choclate chip cookies at 6am watching the sun rise.
The hard times my wife and I had raising our kids.
Others that we have helped through thier hard times.
Picking up the check at a restraunt for a Vet and his family anonymously.
Taking a case of Makers Mark and 6 boxes of cigars down to the American Legion on my birthday,
Visitning Arlington and walking with wife and kids among those I have known and those we are related to.

Knowing that God has forgiven me, and Christ has saved me from what I deserve. My wife, mother, children, grand children, great grand children. My 53 year old sweet shootin Winchester Model 94 3030, that my late Father gave me. My Cherokee heritage, the smell of coffee on a small fire. The small fire, and woods that I'm in. Air so fresh and cold it stings the nostrils. Seeing the breath of a doe on a cold morning, and knowing that when I die. It gets better.
