All In The Family


I can not believe how much I like GK's family.
They are the kind of people you meet and feel like you have known a lifetime.
The best part is seeing how much they love Gk and Grammy.
It just shows in the way they look and talk to them.
I will try and get a picture of them all together today.

Last night they brought bacon wrapped tenderloin steaks for bbq and we did some bakers and a nice salad.
The steaks were out of this world.
I made my coolwhip delight surprise dessert and it was pretty tasty too.
You know Gk will clean up anything with whip.
Grammy kept up with the dinner table conversation and threw in her own take on things a few different times.
Jock was telling about all the fish he caught and Grammy had a very thoughtful look about her.
I asked her what she thought about all those fish Jock caught, and she told us by the looks of it she thought Jock must of ATE all those fish he caught!
Pretty stinkin funny.

Dohn and Jonna came over for a little while, but didn't stay for dinner.
I'm not sure why, I was at home when they left.


What I am about to say is true.
I know you will think it sounds like something I made up.
The following is true.

We are going to dinner tonight at the......
Pink Feather.

I swear.
I am not making that up.

they serve chicken and fish and I guess it's a Portland family favorite.
I think Dohn and Jonna are going with us tonight.
Actually, if they go, we might stay home and let them drive the neighbors.
That way the adults can have a night out and us kids can stay home.

Imagine this....
I am at the big house tending to the dogs.
Gk and Co. are all out to dinner.
The phone rings.
I answer it.
The caller says....
Hello, may I speak with Ken Fahrenholz.
I say......
No, I'm sorry, he's at the Pink Feather.
Click.
That would be really funny.

I think we are going to take Wyatt swimming at the OC Pool today.
Either today or tomorrow.
We need to call a friend to go so I don't have to go in the water with him.
Remember the pool mishap of 06'?
We had just filled the pool for Wyatt and Maddy and they were LOVING it.
I got in, sat down, leaned back and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH.
The side of the pool collapsed and sent me rolling out along with all the water.
I landed on my ass about 15 feet away.
I shook my head, collected myself and looked back to see two crying kids sitting in an empty pool.
Sad then, funny now.

Mike is up wandering around the house longing for something to do.
It's raining today, so he can't mow the lawn and he's already done the few dishes we had.
I guess he will have to settle for watching cartoons with Wyatt for awhile.

back to the big house.
