Merry Christmas Bloggers
Been awhile since i have blooged...back by request and i didnt say popular request I will attempt to update my few fans..Just one thought before I begin,keep hearing about these news org.cking up on bloggers and sorta like feeling the pulse of the country..Oh wouldnt that be a dream for taters blog to be quoted on Fox News..You know it could happen..
Well the daughter is home for christmas break..needless to say Sharon Jean and myself find ourselves in a totally new world..But there is an end in sight,,as she says she will graduate a year from may..Thank our most heavenly father..Course we shall see..Tomorrow Salem and I will go to Odessa for some buisness i have to do and get to spend as they say quality time together..Ha Ha. no really it will be fun..shes a cool kid..and another blessing this christmas is first christmas without a boyfriend..thats the part i enjoy the most..u know how those ole boys are they just kinda hang around and the depth of there conversations are whats for dinner? Which brings up another neat thing that happened to us recently..Salem works for a guy in Abilene which i do buisness with and his son is in the Marines..
About 10 days ago the father calls me and tells me his son is traveling from San Diego to Abilene and anyway i wont cover all the details jeez..the marine (James)ends up spending the nite with us..Sharon Jean cooked a great dinner for him and we all had dinner together when he arrived.. This guy had just completed the Navy Seal training for Marines..hes a 2nd LT..started out with 65 guy s and ended up with like 24 standing and he was one of the 24 standing..Hey i was so impressed..(as i have always been a Seal wannabe as Sharon Jean say s ) James was very accomodating for my thirst of the gritty details of his adventures..im sure he was rolling his eyes and thinking how can a 48 yr old man be this ahhhh u get the picture.. Honestly thought this guy was so humble it was a breath of fresh air..restored my faith in our youth..and when he left the next morning i was thinking.. pssst Salem dont u wanna say something to him? like would u marry me?..nah im just kidding but it was a great visit with a great young man..he will be heading to Iraq next fall u guys keep him in ur prayers..
Looks like we will be traveling to Glen Rose hopefully around end of month to spend some time with Lar/Mart..we really miss them terribly.. Sharon Jean cant wait to take the motor home to see them..shes got it all fixed up and looking great.j ust hope we dont break down in the thing.. Gave a tour in it the other day to look at the Xmas lites in Pecos..kinda of a tradition with us..as we always go to the east side(barrio)and look at the different ways some people decora te for christmas..It reall y is a blast..I have seen everything i think..i mean cow skulls with xmas lites has been one of the best yet..But i am worried about this a bit..it seems t he originality that used to be is slowly disappearing ..and i think its WalMarts fault ..
u know u can get all these lites now that already have the thinking done for u and poof there goes the originality...But i still noticed one satelite dish the other nite that was quite a site..out here they use old satelite dishes for patio covers..so if u have one save it ...could be the next trend.. While i was doing the tour of the lites i kept thinking i need a intercom on this thing to narrate as we go along..im thinking that Lar could give me some great material for this...
Oh yeah i have another wedding to sing at in February.. this will be my 3rd gig(thats show biz talk)honestly the brides father called me and requested i get an act together..only thing is hes not telling his daughter about it..and im going into unknown territory..these people might not have the sense of humor that i demand for my performance..I am really hoping that Lar and Mart will make this trip with us as they always give me the confidence i need to perform.. So Moe someday its a possibility that u can look back and say he sang at my wedding..although i doubt it..but u know i have a great time doing it..Just between u guys and me i have dreams of the spot lite coming on and hearing lets give a big hand for TATER SALAD ..Ha Ha..
Well time for me to go to bed..Andra hope all finds u well with baby and all and tell Zach i sail Hey..i am sad that i cant get another burger from the barn in Hico..i loved that place...Guys have a great Christmas..and hope everyone has a great new year as well...Adios...Tater Salad
