Ok. Maybe song writing is not my thing. However, when my boys where young I would make up songs and stories. They loved it, I think. They may have just been being patronizing, WOW, my 5 year olds, being patronizing. That is a humbling thought.
I remember, making up stories for those little fellows. I would act them out, using funny voices and real dramatic motions. Each night at dinner, I would tell them how I saved the world. That story would usually start like this:

Dad, what happened at work today? One of the boys would ask, knowing exactly what would happen. I would start the story. "Today while I was flying over town ( I was in the Navy), I noticed something amiss." The story would continue, it would involve some battle of good verse evil (me being the good). Each story would continue to build, until the evil would attempt something that would end the world, then I "would SAVE THE WORLD!!!!" The boys loved it. They knew it was silly, but listened each night.
I can't wait for my first Grandchild. He or She will get a whole new line of stories, where together we "WILL SAVE THE WORLD!!!!" And I will sing to Him or Her, (even though I have zero musical talent) silly songs and we will laugh. A real laugh, one of those deep laughs that makes you cry. And we will talk about Jesus. I will tell Him or Her, how Jesus is the only one who could possible love them more than me. What a time, that Kid and Poppy will have together.

Well, I hope no one is disappointed that I have not posted a new song. I will post one later, maybe I will post the "I'm a Goat" or "The SillyBillyCrocodilly" song.

I have read the comments from my second post, and in an effort to keep from "being boo'ed off stage" and since some of you have "cut me some slack" I pledge to do better.


So here it goes....

All the little peguins walking in the snow
Walking in a line, up the hill they go
Weeble Wobble Weeble Wobble
Weeble Wobble Weeeee

Over the hill and down the other side
All the little peguins love to slide
Weebel Wobble Weeble Wobble
Weeble Wobble Weeeee

Sliding to sea, splish splash splish
All the little peguins get a fish
Weeble Wobble Weeble Wobble
Weeble Wobble Weeeee

Sea Lions, Orcas, Sharks oh me
Time to jump out of the sea
Weeble Wobble Weeble Wobble
Weeble Wobble Weeeee

Safe at home, Peguin bed time
Sleep little Peguins, safe in line
Weeble Wobble Weeble Wobble
Weeble Wobble, ZZZZZZZZZ


I will be singing this song to my new Grandchild, soon!

lol I know my wife will love this....

Well, today is Sunday and I thought I should put something, just so my daughter doesn't put me in the flizzy, or fuzzy category.

The men and women of Florida Baptist Disaster Relief are currently gearing up for a new season of training. The first training event is this Saturday March 21 in Quincy Florida. If you have any friends or family who are interested in attending check out the details @

Flbaptistdisaster.org

click on the "Training Events" link for the location and directions to a training event near you.

Ok, so that is it for now. See you later.

This is a test, well sort of...

My son and daughter (daughter-in-law, but I don't like to call her that, cause she is more a daughter, daugher-in-law seems less loving, and we love her) both started a blog so I thought I would give it a try. I really am doing this so that I can learn enough to incorporate an updatable note area into a web site we have. So that is one reason I am doing this.

But for the really cool stuff...

My wife and I are going to be grandparents. Yep the above mentioned son and daughter are going to have a baby! How cool is that. Don't answer, I'll tell you, it is the best! We already have pictures of the little sweet pea on the frig'. What a wonderful miracle it is to see a baby growing in the womb. Life has begun, no matter what anyone else says.

Our younger son, is getting married! That is way cool as well. He has become engaged with a wonderful woman. (I hope she knows what she is getting into) The wedding is schedule for May, man that is soon. We are looking forward to having another daughter in the family.

Well, that is a start. I will see how this blog stuff works out.

See you all later
