Thought of the day
I was away from the Confessions of a Dumb, White Guy headquarters last week because we were doing this:
Banana Ball on the blue turf in Boise
Four-wheeling at the farm
Lake time in Montana
Because this started this week:
Freshmen
Senior
I will talk to you soon.
Meme dump
These memes kind of sum up the mood at the Shifley household this week after coming back from vacation and going back to work, school, etc.
I will persevere
I will keep moving forward
I will be the stream
It looks like you were having a lot more fun than I was. Freshman/Senior. It's a big year! Hope it's a good one for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly.
DeleteThe lake time sounds superb. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rev Arnoldo.
DeleteWow! Look at those gorgeous kids. Where does the time go?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deedles.
DeleteLooks like oodles of fun on your vacay!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra.
DeleteThe vacation looks marvelous--water, sports and recreation! Love it! A senior? No longer a kid but a young adult. Sniff.
ReplyDeleteSniffles for sure, Margaret.
DeleteCongrats on jumping through the Banana Ball hoops and scoring tickets.
ReplyDeleteTY, KG!
DeleteWait what!
ReplyDeleteBut they were kids just three posts ago! Darn. They do grow up fast.
And I’m on my way to fold all my worries into paper planes right now.
XOXO
Enjoy sending off those paper planes, Sixpence.
DeleteMaking memories! And making us laugh. Well done.
ReplyDeleteTY, DB!
DeleteThe memes are spot on.
ReplyDeleteAnd how did those kids grow up so fast???? It ain't right!
I just kept watering them, Bob.
DeleteBanana ball seems to be quite popular these days. I saw in on CBS Sunday Morning for the first time just a month or two ago and now it seems to be everywhere. Perhaps it will replace regular baseball.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely more entertaining than regular baseball.
DeleteVacation is always important.
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to meet the height requirements to get off my emotional roller coaster.
Height requirements don't exist in my household.
DeleteVacation is always important.
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to meet the height requirements to get off my emotional rollercoaster.
Yes it is, Infidel.
DeleteAww fun times and precious memories! Love the flying fucks meme 😂
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paula.
DeleteBanana ball is fun, but I am disappointed they did not advertise it as banana blue balls.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a missed opportunity.
DeleteI'm glad you got away before school starts. Always such a bummer, even as a non-student. Your daughter looks so much like your beautiful wife now! Senior year! Are you doing college visits?
ReplyDeleteThat was exactly my thought! 'I go left and you go fuck yourself' needs to be on a tshirt. Sadly, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to wear it, however I would hang it on a chair and hug it a lot.
DeleteNo college visits yet, Bijoux. His current plan is to get his associate's degree at the local community college and then possibly join the police department.
DeleteI don't think I could wear it as a shirt either, Debby, but it would make an excellent couch pillow.
DeleteGreat pictures of the kids. They are looking all grown up. My grandson started 8th grade this year. Time flies.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does.
DeleteYou sure get around in a week's time! Love those memes. And those kids (pre-adults), I have no words!
ReplyDeleteCrazy how fast time flies, right?
DeleteGlad you were able to get away before school started! I was able to see Banana ball at the very beginning with the "Savannah Bananas." What a relief it was to have them take over after we lost our 1-A minor league team, "The Savannah Sand Gnats" (an insect so despised you could love a mosquito).
