Christmas Holiday Update

Well, after travel to Oklahoma, Cameron Tx, back here and then to La Porte to see mom and dad I now have a chance to do whatever. Naturally, I am trying to get a nasty head cold. It was good to see everyone at my parents. My brother, all his kids, and my sisters with all their kids were there. My mom and dad had a house full. We had plenty of food, and of course we fought over my mom's coconut pie, and chocolate pie.

On the downside, my parents are starting to look frail. I spoke with my parents about making sure their will was in order, and that we knew what their wishes were if something were to happen. I told my sisters and brother I would get with them in them in the future to put some sort of plan together. My mom and dad have over 23 grandkids, plus several great grand kid.

As far as the rest of my holidays, and I am just going to play it by hear. I know I must do a little shopping.( I really don't want to go near a store) I've am thinking about getting some hunting in, an if the wind lays, I am going to try to fish some. Of course I am going to get out and take few pictures.

Oh yeah, my dad has bought his first computer. My nephew is teaching him how to use it. My dad is learning to type, and practices a little everyday. I've got his email, and now will try to email him to try help him along, and communicate with him what is happening with us on a regular basis. I admire him for trying to learn some new things.

Hey, you haven't seen pictures of my boys in a while here ya go. Josh is on the left, Zach is on the right.

Send me your dad's email and I will "encourage" him! LOL
Will, power of attorney, medical directives--getting pretty complicated to die. But, if you want things done a certain way, your family needs to know. Mine thinks they know, but I'm reviewing all the above and doing some things different. I even have a tombstone-got somebody elses name on it--minor problem. LOL
Lots of potential, but takes front end loader to move it. Good story.
Got to go, I can only be nice so long and I've got to behave this week-end!!
