Life goes on

Well we have succesfully returned home to Wine country. Just a few moments ago I saw the newleyweds off on their first trip together. They are heading to Tennessee to visit her other family for eight days.

This is definately a scary time for K and I as we will undoughtably worry through the night if they have had an accident. The worries of parenthood never end. So in the attempt to not worry so much we shall go sing Karaoke and have a "few". Sadly, our favourite DJ is not there for at least another 3 weeks as he pays his dues for driving under the influence and takes weekly classes on safe driving. It is almost as bad as the Polish government making their drunks attend months of political meetings but not as bad as some arabian countries that execute their drunk drivers.

It was fun to see my brother and Jenn but is nice to be back home and settle back in. So now we get back to normal if we can and if not well... Life goes on.

aint life grand

This is my first blog ever, so don't shoot me if I bore you to death. I saw Jennetic's blog after googling "Jennetic" as I remember that being an email address of my wifes best friend. I read a blog and was quite amazed and have to admit it made me smile. Jenn you are definately one special lady. Much love... So here I sit writing a blog the night before I take my oldest daughter to a county courthouse two states away from home to get married at 17 to her bf of the last year.

Jenn thank you in case I forget for putting us up in the Hobbit hole. I am sad that I couldn't kick your butt in a freindly game of scrabble. I heard there was tire trouble. I guess I will know in the morning, eh?

For anyone else reading, this trip to the underwater paradise of Baltimore started about a month ago when my wife and I dug below the surface when our oldest threw a fit and found the true reason was that she was scared she might be pregnant. Well lo and behold, she was. Ain't life grand?

It has been a paradigm shift after running through a full gamat of emotions that I will be a grandpa at 37. Ouch!!!! Mom says hell no she won't go - no title like that is getting pinned to her. I can definately understand. After all this time I still feel like being caught in a whirlwind.

Some may say, how can you think of letting children get married; but I believe that I have to let the child grow up, because soon she will be mom. My sweet wife and I have a lot to teach these kids, so that they have the best chance with the cards they now are holding. The best I hope for now is that they listen and apply what they hear. Although I gotta tell ya, the track record isn't good: I think the chance is good that they will listen now... just maybe...

This has been good, don't know why I have not blogged before... hopefully I didn't put anyone in a coma.
