Me and Dad: Artified and Up Close

 

Like, real close!

Gotta Love Free Stuff

 Ever the thrifty humans, mom and dad recently acquired an older Weber propane grill dad found on Asheville's Freecycle website.  If you've never heard of it, freecycle.org is an awesome website where people can post things they wish to get rid of or items they're looking for.  Everything is free, and it keeps lots of stuff out of the landfills. 

The grill only needed a little cleaning, and dad hooked up a tank of propane, soaped up all the joints to check for gas leaks, and fired it up for the first time.  They grilled a nice juicy rib eye steak, an oddity 'round these parts, some potatoes and corn on the cob. And I know it'll be hard to believe, but I didn't get even a morsel.  Some bull about diet, kidneys, protein, etc.  I just think they wanted it all for themselves.

🎕Me and dad want to join others in sending healing purrs and well wishes across the ocean for Angels Eric and Flynn's mom and dad, Jackie and Ivor, in hopes that Jackie makes a quick recovery and gets to go home soon.🎕

Dad's Turn

 You remember my Mother's Day photo with mom in the lounger?  Well now it's the real old fart's turn.  Happy Father's Day to the best dad a cranky, moody, 'tude Goddess (no, this is not about mom!) could ever ask for.  

This is dad with two of his most favorite things: a good book, and me.  The only most favorite things missing are mom, who's taking the picture, and a cold beer.  And his maple coffee.  And bacon.  And pizza.  And a nice slab of prime rib.  Did I mention a cold beer?  And a pile of nachos.  And sardines.  And a tub of Ben and Jerry's.  Oops, I forgot salt. And more mom.  And anything with chocolate.  Make that chocolate and peanut butter.  Maybe mom with beer, chocolate and peanut butter.

Any way, even though we all know dad can be a bumbling idiot often at times, mom says we girls wouldn't trade him for the world (betcha can't guess which one of us wrote this part).
