I found an old photo!

I found this old photo of my son Matt when he was about two years old.  It really took me back.  It is summer and he has on blue jean bibbys and a striped shirt.  He is walking in the yard with a kitten trailing in his footsteps.  The yard is different from now as well.  The old cistern is there and the old shed,  which was a milking barn are present. It is easy for me to forget how the place used to look.  We have made quite a few improvements over the years. However, if I  could go back to those days and live them all over again I would in a second.  The time just went too fast.  I guess that is why I'm looking forward to grandchildren .

2.  I remember a time I went to the race track with my dad.  It was a Navy reunion for my dad and my mother didn't want to go with him so I went.  We found out in a hurry that neither one of us was lucky at the horses.  Dad gave me some starting cash and that was lost early on.  We tried the daily double and lost that.  It looks much easier on television to win at the horse track.  I  hear people shouting for their horse and I hear myself shouting at the top of my lungs for my horse.  As the horses near the finish line  the crowd is a mixture of screams of happiness and moans of defeat.  My moan of defeat is the loudest to me.  I swear I will never throw money away on the horse track.  Horse riding not horse racing is for me.

3.  I have to tell you about yesterday.  I came home and my two dogs were fighting with a skunk.  Each dog had hold of the skunk that was eating out of their dog dish.  I drove up and hit the remote on the garage only to have the skunk get loose and run into the garage.   I thinkskunk is either in  the garage or under the house now.  I took the smelly dogs and locked them in the shed, left the doors to the garage open all night and hoped the skunk came out in the night. Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've had a skunk fight with the dogs but it is the first time the skunk actually came into the garage or got under the house.  I'm ntt sure what I'll come home to.
