I'm spending my morning with two elderly ladies

I love our neighbors they are fine ladies I was sitting here having coffee and knock at door they came to visit not to see the chocolate lab menace of the universe or me but grandson. And they were bearing spaghetti sauce we wanted to drop this off they make me smile as I invite them in oh the baby is here your grandson.

I told them if you watch him I’ll go over and load up some firewood for you ladies oh go ahead, he is sleeping on couch with furry boys. And my wife is smiling over the sisters as she was getting ready to go to court today and king knuckle head the chocolate lab touched her with his paw and her pantsuit and got mud on it and she went to change. Awesome neighbors they’re in their eighties they survived camps as young children in Germany they are just so sweet their truly loving towards others.

when you figure out that the only way to get anything out of life is by giving?

Donald Trump will be on his death bed and not learn this lesson.

always make me smile, this time tears in my eyes.

Thank them for me (and ALL of us,) and hugs to the baby, your not-muddy wife, and furry boys.
