This’uns Andi, or properly, Andrea, Leo.

Ali, Allison, is 28. She’s the one with the grands livin’ up King George. She’s been gone nine years now. Out of the beach close ta five.

Yeah, I know, bro. Ali will be 29 come June. Hell, Laney will be 7 next month.


Dang, I was tryin ta keep it straight.  Usually good at rememberin names without havin ta look back.

I got my two, Rachael and Terra 16 and 13.  The niece I raised just hit 18 an that was wierd.  I had a third named Annabelle, but she musta decided she didn't like what she saw when she got here and went off ta go do Angel work or something.  She'd been 11 next month.  The time flies by so damn fast that it's hard ta keep up.  I know it's just gonna keep speedin up.  ;)

time just flies when yer having fun.  ;D   my son Seth was 33 when his Mother and I got divorced, she gave him to me, just what I wanted but she thought it was punishment,  so him and I were together several years. he moved out years ago, Amy moved out when she was 16, went to the Arkansas Math & Science acadamey down at Hot Springs.  when she dropped out of there she didn't come back here, had a boy friend by then and couldn't be talked into coming back,  that was 8 or 9 years ago, so we been without kids in the house for at least 9 years.  sure feels good,  we enjoy a visit now and then but we sure are tickled to see em going out the driveway too.

We done it for Dixie,  nothing else

Heck my daughter is 27 and my grandaughters are 7 and 2.  I don't think I'm that old either Sleep, but it's got a way of creeping up on you.  My Son-in-Law is preparing to get out of the Navy and is a pretty decent mechanic.  He just completed 2 of his ASE certifications and just took the tests for two more.  He's a hard worker and my daughter has turned into quite the Mom  Even taught herself how to sew.  Arcey the empty nest syndrome is tough in the beginning, but a little while after that you an tha missus will get some of your youth back and start doing things as a couple again.  I can't belive I'm actually looking forward to retirement, so we can move out into the country and keep our horses on our own property and do what we want when we feel like it.

     Lil has a huge heart, but I tell ya when this place clears out she gets a special glint in her eye. I love those days ::)

Ali just called ‘n I just got my breath back.

Seems they were in Target ‘n Noah is sittin’ in the cart. The cashier is a young kid with two studs in his lower lip. Ali sez Noah was starin’ at ‘im.

When Ali least expected it, Noah blurts out, ‘Mommie, what’s wrong with his mouth?’ Loud ‘nuff for everybody else in line to hear.

Ali was still laffin’ when she called.

Art asked one little boy what his favorite animal was.  The kid said it was an octopus.  Art asked him why and the kid said, "Because it has eight big long testicles."

The audience and Art all cracked up and they cut to a commercial.  Art was still trying to reconpose when they came back.

Art's Show   "Art Linkletter's House Party came on around Noon or One o'clock M thru F.  Talking to the children everyday was a segment of the show.   Little kids that age are so open that they will say anything.  I am sure Art spent a lot of time between breaks to regain his composure.
