so waht ya doin today?

[fiver]

you could do what I done for our 20th.

I casually mentioned that I thought our state had an arcane law where marriage licenses expire at the 20 year mark.
she wouldn't believe me and I let it drop [mostly] but let the kids know and they wouldn't let it drop.

then about a week before our anniversary date I got a friend to call and mention he was from the marriage license Bureau, and he just noticed our license was about to expire.
he went on to give her the address to the 'bureau building' in Pocatello and told her we both had to come in to take care of the paperwork and pay the renewal fee.
this of course got her all worked up since I kept on seeming disinterested in the whole process and reluctantly agreed to take her over on the Friday before our 'due-date'.
the address he gave her was actually to a nice restaurant, and since everything in town there is numbered plus street names you can't find anything on a good day let alone when you only have about 5 minutes 'until they close' and it's on a one way street in 'old town'.

We hit 30 years in September. I took her to Europe for 2 weeks in the spring so I think we are good.
Might need to think of something she would like.

 

[Pistolero]

Married in '76. We are good. Trip to Europe every year. Last year we both forgot\
about the anniversary.....OOPS. We laughed.

Walter even crosses his legs like his wife when shooting from a lawn chair. Now THAT is devotion.

Lol! Now you’re just picking a fight! Ha Ha!!

One week from today is my 20 year wedding anniversary. Worried anything I do for her won't be enough...…...

20 years . . . This year is 40 years for me.

 

[Rick]

What did I do today? Well considering it's Saturday I just kinda rested up and took it easy.

 

[Gary]

That's the same way I think; concerning what day of the week it is.

 

[462]

Isn't every day Saturday?

 

[fiver]

it's not Friday?

 

[Intheshop]

Wifey and I sort of stopped counting at 30.I think it's 36 or 37 now?

She's away talking at some egghead convention..... the youngest was kind enough to come and babysit me. He's a good one.Hardcore trad bowhunter and competitor. Has a few guns but is the '06 for everything type.

 

[Rick]

it's not Friday?

Don't be silly . . . Today is Saturday.

 

[JonB]

My Granddaughter's first birthday today.

 

[Ian]

We're fixing to have one of those for our daughter, Jon....but no food coloring! Wife has been making practice cakes for a couple of weeks, baby cannot have even trace cow milk protein so it has to be 100% dairy-free. So far she's made some good ones with coconut milk, margarine, and marshmallow icing.

 

[Hawk]

JonB,
That's what I'm talking about.
It's their day. Just give them the cake and it's no rules, no hold barred, anything goes, who cares if they get messy.
Gave ours a blue Cookie Monster cake on her first birthday.
Boy did she have fun!

 

[fiver]

we still have 2 months until the G-sons first.
Littlegirl already has the mini cake pan and the decorations for the cake.
I guess she got some transfers [like a stick on tattoo] of Scooby-doo, off amazon [of course] that you just sit on the frosting for a bit and peel/lift off the backing paper.

On October 4th this year is my 40th anniversary. Wow time flies when your having fun. Hard to believe, divorced for 40 years already.

I have grands from 3-11 my baby is 29 next month ....... I kind of miss them being little bitties .

I'm getting a little grunt work for a guy in the next town over ......... Discovered some muscles I'd forgotten about . I'm now convinced that I'm too old for this stuff .
My Dad's turned yellow , I'm sure it's just a matter of .......... probably not long . On the other hand his cognizant speech is improving and the water is coming off other parts of his person . Hope yet none ........

So this guy I'm working for has this black walnut tree that needs to come down . 3 trunks about 16-18" for 16-18 ' . 1 has a fork with 1 really lumpy abused side both run 8-9 ' over 12" . I'm thinking that abused limb might ought to be cut in 3.5" slabs full length while the lower sections should be run off in 1x slabs . It'll cost me about $150 to get it sawn that way but who doesn't want a few stock blanks to trade with and I don't know what a walnut dinning room table or book cases would cost but I'd bet it's way more than $3 a running ft .

Leave sbout three feet sticking out and dig up the root ball if you possibly can find a backhoe, the burly buttstock wood is below ground anf the forearms above ground.

Stayed with my FIL until he died, yellow was the last couple days but he had two blocked heart valves they couldn't fix, and congestive heart failure on top of it. Hopefully your Dad has more going for him.

Yard looks good, Fiver. Is it yours and you figured out how to upload photo attachments Littlegirl sent to your email, or did you just pull some stock photos of one similar to yours off the internet?


I got the entrance all painted up with Hammerite Rust Cap, tonight, brown color. It looks a lot better than it sounds, kinda antique bronze with silver highlights. No photos cuz it was dark when I finished up.
