The last two weeks

I have to admit that the last two weekends have been a whirlwind for me, but here we go. Couple of weekends ago I went to my Dad's retirement party in Wichita, KS. We held the reception at the Timberline resteraunt and a very friendly person was there to greet us.







If you never been to this resteraunt.....It's mostly a steakhouse resteraunt, but the best part of the resteraunt is the loaves of bread served with honey butter. Anyway, I digress as people were gathering around ......my dad receives a plaque

for his 33 years of service for the Veterans Administration. Of course my dad appreciate all the people who came to this event. Although, dad didn't realize this evening was going to get better
as one of his coworkers decide to roast him by writing a poem about his life with the VA by using titles of candy bars and other sugar sweets. I saw him have a great chuckle as family and friends


and yes even Polly showed up to see my dad have one of his best days of his life.

Last weekend, I went to Pittsburg, Kansas for their homecoming football game as well as the Campus Christians annual ribs for the alumni. I will admit the ribs were really good and I definitely went back for seconds. This was probably the last time we were going to have this before they tear down CC house before they make it into a parking lot...what a cryin shame .....I have too many great memories of this house. Before the game and the all you can eat ribs, we had our morning parade and our congresswoman Nancy Boyda was there and she was the Honary cannonneer for the game as she got to shoot off the cannon. I bring this up not to talk politics, but to point out that her fashion sense isn't the best. She's not a PSU alumni and when she was walking around the parade with a white PSU logo shirt (which was allright) but those red pants that she was wearing was awful looking. Then again who am I to criticize fashion ....I'm dude who sometimes wears shorts during the winter months. I didn't spend much time with my friend Dan because he was on call on lot, but the time we spent was very good in quality.


Update on Garth: I have been turned down six times, but I'm not giving up on finding a date for Garth Brooks concert.....and there is possibly that I might be able to trade the tickets for another night....so I'm crossing my fingers.

That's been my last two weeks in a nutshell.
