PAPA DOES NOT LIKE CATS!!!!!!

Okay look at this picture and tell me what you think. Lon got to know the 4 cats at Amy's and he even held them. Said that they were okay, but he didn't trust them. He said he liked the furry one. That was Sissy, but here he is holding Cookie. Clyde scared him when he was in the bathroom and didn't know Clyde was in there. Let's just say that Lon was tolerant of the cats and talked to them. But, he was glad to get home to the beagles. lol

THANKSGIVING AND A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR!

GETTING THE FEET WET HANDSOME!!!

PAPA LON AND EZEKIEL

THIS IS ZEK LOOKING AT THE TRUCK DAWSON MADE FOR HIM. THE WRITING SAYS "FORD"!

WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AT THE HOORN'S HOME FOR THANKSGIVING. ZEK IS QUITE A BOY. AMY AND DES GOT TO GO OUT AND EAT BY THEMSELVES ON WED NIGHT. THEY NEVER GET THAT OPPORTUNITY. PAPA LON AND I STAYED WITH ZEK AND WE HAD FUN. WE READ LOTS OF BOOKS AND PLAYED. ZEK REALLY LIKED THE THINGS WE GOT HIM FOR HANUKKAH. AMY AND I COOKED ON THURS. AND WE HAD FUN DOING IT. FRIDAY WE WENT SHOPPING FOR A WHILE AND THEN CAME BACK AND GOT READY FOR CHURCH SERVICE. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT. I REALLY ENJOYED THE MUSIC AND WATCHING MY GRANDSON PARTICIPATE IN THE SERVICE. THEIR CHURCH LASTS A L-O-N-G, L-O-N-G TIME. 3 HOURS. AS I WATCHED EZEKIEL I THOUGHT OF HOW JESUS MIGHT HAVE ACTED WHEN HE WAS LITTLE IN THE SYNAGOGUE. EZEKIEL KNOWS SOME OF THE WORDS AND KNOWS WHEN IT IS MUSIC AND WHAT TO DO. HE CRIED WHEN HE DIDN'T GET TO BREAK THE BREAD. AMY TOLD ME THAT HE HAD DONE IT WITH THE RABBI FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS. IT WAS AMAZING WATCHING HIM. THE BEST PART WAS WHEN IT WAS QUIET AND RABBI WAS TALKING AND ZEK LET OUT THIS LOUD BURP. SEVERAL OF THE MEN GAVE HIM A THUMBS UP. IT WAS GREAT. I TOOK LOTS AND LOTS OF PICTURES. EZEKIEL IS QUITE PHOTOGENIC. BUT HE ALSO CLOSES HIS EYES BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE THE FLASH. I ONLY REGRET THAT I HAVE NO PICTURES WITH HIM. I WAS ALWAYS THE ONE TAKING PICTURES. SO AT CHRISTMAS I HAVE TO GET SOME WITH HIM. ON SAT. MORNING PAPA LON AND I GOT UP EARLY AND LEFT. WENT INTO AMY AND DES'S ROOM AND GAVE HER A KISS. THEY WERE STILL SLEEPING. IT WAS EASIER THAT WAY BECAUSE IF THEY HAD BEEN AWAKE I WOULD HAVE CRIED. REALLY HATED LEAVING BUT WE HAD TO GET ON THE ROAD. VISITS ARE NEVER LONG ENOUGH. PAPA LON EVEN HAD A GREAT TIME. WE DECIDED SINCE WE WERE ONLY AN HOUR AND A HALF FROM THE COAST WE WOULD JUST DRIVE DOWN THERE, AND SEE SOME SITES. WE TALKED ABOUT ZEK AND THE FUNNY THINGS HE DID WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. WE WENT TO MOBILE AND LOOKED AT THE CAPITAL. A LOT OF HISTORY STUFF. PAPA LIKES THAT. THEN WE WENT TO THE USS ALABAMA AND TOURED IT, THE AIRCRAFT HANGER AND THE SUBMARINE AND THEN TO THE GULF SHORE AND I WALKED IN THE COLD WATER. I GOT SOME SHELLS AND LOOKED AT THE SHRIMP BOATS. NEVER DID SEE JENNIE. (LIKE FROM FOREST GUMP) WE DROVE TILL ALMOST 10 AND STAYED IN MISSISSIPPI AND THEN DROVE ON IN ON SUNDAY. PAPA AND I ONLY HAD ONE INSTANCE OF CROSS WORDS. YOU KNOW SOME MEN WHEN THEY GET ON THE ROAD HOME IT'S GET HOME QUICK. THERE ARE A FEW DETAILS THAT I WON'T POST BUT I WILL TELL YOU IN PERSON ABOUT THE CAR THAT WAS ON OUR TAIL ON THE WAY BACK. OH MY GOSH IT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD!!!! KEEP YOU GUESSING!!!!

IT HAS BEEN A WEEK SO FAR FROM YOU KNOW WHAT AT WORK. NEED SOME MORE DAYS OFF. HAD A MINOR PROBLEM WHEN WE GOT HOME BUT THINK WE HAVE THAT SOLVED. HAVE NOT SEEN THE 2 OTHER GRANDSONS YET BUT I WILL BY THE WEEKEND. I AM SURE THAT CARSON HAS CHANGED. CAN'T WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS TO SEE EZEKIEL AGAIN AND WATCH HIM PLAY WITH DAWSON. I AM ALREADY LOOKING AT A GOOD WAY TO GO TO FORT CAMPBELL WHEN THEY MOVE THERE. I AM HAVING A LITTLE DOCTORED UP COFFEE TONIGHT. SO IF I DON'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE YOU WILL KNOW WHY. MAGGI WAS SURE GLAD TO SEE US BUT SHE HAD FUN AT BUFFY'S. GUESS FOR 3 OF MY GIRLS THE SEMESTER IS COMING TO AN END IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WHOLE LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING SINCE IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS. ENJOY THE FEW PICTURES I POSTED AND I WILL BE ADDING MORE REAL SOON. LOVE TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. I AM SO THANKFUL I HAVE SUCH WONDERFUL, LOVING GIRLS AND THEIR FAMILIES. I AM TRULY BLESSED.
