The kids and grandkids are here, or some of them are at least. Jade and her 14 month old brother Gage were using the couch as a trampoline when I came in. Jade hugged me and told me she loved me, Gage just hid his face and cried. I tried all manner of stuff to get him to stop, he did briefly for a cookie then started again.

He just wasn’t having grandpa in his face, that is, until I opened my wallet and was counting some money, then he stopped. He reached over grabbed a dollar bill, gave a big smile and was all happy and grandpa was the best in the world.

14 months old and he suckered me for a buck!

    he he, I usually copy my comment to the clipboard because I usually forget to fill in something or other and have to try again, then I can paste my comment back into the box.

    The contextual links just drop in as I like and where I can fit them in.

    As long as you don’t suck them into soggy lumps and leave them on the carpet.
