'I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!'
Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf
one fine March day. One remarked to the other, 'Windy,
isn't it?' 'No,' the second man replied,
'it's Thursday.' And the third man chimed in,
'So am I. Let's have a beer.'
Yesterday I was SUPER lazy. Didn't want to do ANYTHING! So, I went through
a box of address and phone books sister Betty had sent me that were Mom and
Dad's. Salvaged some things, others went in the trash. This is what I
saved:
This was inside the Forest Lawn card....
Then I went through a box of stuff Brian brought up from the barn some time
ago. (All was in my bedroom. Check the bottom of the blog to see what day this
is.. I got a head start!) This box was a Christmas gift box from Bullocks in
downtown LA. The sticker in the lid says it was from December 1963 and the sales
clerk and it was a charge.
In the box were my report cards, letters to Mom and Dad from me, dance
studio programs, Jobs Daughter programs, some pictures, pay stubs (a whopping
$1.50 and hour jobs), and tax records. I had a blast going through all this.
Found my Driver's Training grade..... Whoot whoot... A in Driver's Training!!

Clean Up Your Room Day
Clean Up Your Room Day is a
day parents eagerly await........... and kids dread!
If you've got kids, it is very possible that their rooms are a vast
wasteland, completely filled with "good stuff". "Messy" is too kind of an
adjective to describe the conditions. Its impossible to walk through the room.
Every dresser and shelf (and under the bed), is packed with everything
imaginable. Dust has been piling up as long as your child has been around.
Comfy, cozy, and quite livable to the child, its an everyday source of
frustration for the "folks".
To mom and dad's delight, and every child's chagrin, Clean Up Your Room Day arrives every May 10th. Get out the shovels.
Call in an industrial sized dumpster. Its time for everyone to clean your
rooms!
Note to Kids: Clean Up
Your Room Day also applies to your
parents. You may want to inspect to assure that mom and dad practice what they
preach!

Good morning. Those business names are hillareous.
oK- I'll clean up my room.
Yes, I cracked up at the business names. Very creative.
What a treasure trove of memories you went thru. Fun. Your mother passed away two months after my dad. Of course mother and I flew back to Arkansas for the funeral then had lots of business with the attorney after that. Time flies!
Today I will tell Matthew to clean up the toys on his floor and make way for the cleaning lady to clean his room tomorrow. :)
I did not know about the grenade thrown at GW. God as certainly watching over him!

That was my dad, T. Our dads died about the same time! xoox
Oh I am sorry. I saw the name "Leslie" and just thought of your mom. My dad passed away on Feb. 1, 1991. He was born March 2, 1918. They were both from the South too. Glad your dad led a good happy life. My dad had a sad one but I think he was happy where he was.
XO Trisha
No problem T!!! xoxox
