What I Did Over My Winter Vacation

This being the first day of summer, I hereby declare my winter/spring hiatus at an end (I hope). Missed y’all, but I had some professional and personal priorities to take care of. DONE!! Free at last…I think.

Let’s see. Where was I? Just before Christmas I think. Too much between now and then – each capable of being a stand alone entry – so I’ll just say it with pics for now.

DECEMBER: Christmas

Oldest son’s extremely shy new girlfriend finally agrees to meet the parents and comes over for our famous Christmas Eve family gathering:


Needless to say, she fits right in.

JANUARY: Fourth annual guys-only Funny Farm gathering:

FEBRUARY: Mardi Gras Krewe of Krime rolls again:

MARCH: St. Patrick’s Day Parade Buzzards roll again:


I’m just…resting.

APRIL: The Resurrection month. Crawfish come back in season; family gathers; we cooks dem; we pinches da tails; we suck da heads; we drinks da beers:

MAY: Memorial Day. Only child out of town visits. It’s his birthday. We cooks some more; pinches some mo tails; sucks some mo heads; drinks some mo beers. PLUS have first all-family Harley ride since oldest son purchased his the month before. Now me, he, second son, and daughter’s boyfriend all ride.

JUNE: Wife informs me it’s time to do yard work. I do procrastinate with that I hate it so. Maybe I did wait a bit too long this time.

SOOOOOOO good to see you back in OD-land! I noticed you didn’t have a cig in your hand in the first funny farm photo. Were you having a bad day? A family of bikers, beer drinkers and head suckers. It just doesn’t get any better than that, yes? RYN: You know all about S-Curves, Batman. LWM 143 Catwoman

I haven’t laughed this hard in a week!

things were bad, but now they are good again! Oh crawfish, how I love to eat the tails and not suck the heads. Were you riding on the float or just hangin out?

RYN: Yes, you have missed a lot, Batman. When are you coming over to see the kiddos and visit me and the man? I think you owe me one.

RYN: **grin** That was MY ass as oposed to my EX ass. :}

One of the central figures of the book was a beekeeper, and the author likened bee colonies to human colonies throughout. It was very good.
