you married him :-)
I am a lucky girl!
grumpy old man.
Ok, so I tried to comment, but it had a grammatical error. I tried to edit it, but my only choice was to delete. So this is try #2.
Your post cracked me up. And, by the way, I created a blog. You are now required to visit, read, and comment. It's boring, and I called it "The Simple Life" because I am not creative. ENJOY!
That is the John that we know and love. It is a nice Blog Kathy. Brodie looks so different! Looks like his crazy and wild daddy at that age.
