Walked in for Thanksgiving lunch and was quickly greeted by the youngest daughter.
"Dad, we've been waiting on you. Come get Evan."
Didn't let me out of his sight for 2.5 hours. That's my buddy.
That's Ms. Rachel playing on the phone.

Youngest daughter, son in law and grandson at a family wedding this afternoon.
Evan was not enamored with the scene so the wife and I went and picked him up so they could enjoy the reception.
No 63 year old man has ever watched more Ms. Rachel than me. It mesmerizes him.

Grandson Evan cried when I left the house for a second.
Wife told me she wishes that would stop
Reminded her she does the same thing so no reason to be mad at him.😂

The oldest piece of clothing I own is this 1998 Sam Houston sweatshirt. Refuse to let it go.
Still wear it often in the winter and looks almost as good as the day purchased.
It has survived numerous road trips, moves and spills.
Consider it almost like a friend.

Sometimes my daughters send texts or call with stuff that paralyzes me.
Nothing more so than this with grandson Evan in my baby rocking chair.
My mom is no doubt looking down from heaven with tears of joy.

This Sam Houston defense is defenseless.
Can't stop the run. Open WRs everywhere.
Impossible to win when you can't get stops.

Meet my new dance partner Moe the mini bernadoodle.
It's my greeting from him every time upon returning from the golf course.
He's a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and Chubby Checker.

One of my golfing buddies has taken a special interest in a club footed deer that hangs out around his house.
It struggles to keep up with the others so he hand feeds it daily.
The world needs more guys like him.

Deck remodel is finished. Opted for a Trex surface due to its low maintenance.
The old one had more cracks than a booty convention.
Happy with the final result.
All home projects are now done.

His mom texted me recently that she went through all the pain of labor just so I could have a new BFF.😂
Love that young man so much.

One of my great joys as a former educator is staying in touch with former students and seeing them win in life.

Really missing the PNW this morning.
Moving back to Texas was the right thing to do. Huntsville, and specifically Elkins Lake are great, but will never love a place as much as Gig Harbor.
Miss the mountain. Miss my Lake Minterwood view. Miss my morning trips to Cutter's Point Coffee.

Puppy update.
Moe is settling in just fine in his new home.
He loves his new yard and playing with his chew toys, especially the shoestrings of an old one of the wife's Skechers.
Potty training a puppy is never fun, but we can tell he's smart and making progress.

Grandson Evan's favorite place to sleep is his grandfather's lap.
He's at the age where there's no middle gear - pedal to the medal or crashed out.

Meet our newest soon to be family member, a 6 week old mini bernedoodle named Moe for now.
Pick him up in 2 weeks. Excited.
Was reluctant to get another dog out of respect to Ace, but the wife gave me needed advice.
"Jim, you need a dog. It's who you are. I want one, too. "
