more on being a dad....

OK. I was having dinner the other day and my wife and the kids were in the living room. she  came in almost in tears from laughing so hard. She sat down and told me what my oldest son has asked her....."Mom, does dads head weigh allot" he asked.  "I don't know Ry, why do you ask" she responded.  "because mom I think it weighs allot because he had no neck"...... kids will say the truth if you let them..... Every one have a great Thanksgiving......

lies my father told me

Ok .. being a father is not easy for any one. You have to balance being their father/mentor and friend.   During the Summer my son Ry  and I were riding our bikes near the house. There was some road construction going on and ry very innocently asked me if there were cities underground like on TV. I told him that I was not sure , but there were most defiantly C.H.U.D. s underground...... I told him that stands for.... cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers and I then immediately called my friend Hector...... Last night after a long day of Church and going to the Health department for h1n1 shots Ry asked me about poor people living in the sewers. I told him not to worry , there were no poor people living in the sewers, The CHUD's eat them.... Again I immediately called Hector....  one day when he's older i'm sure that he'll kill me......

Psalm

I saw this on line while poking around. I wanted to put it up simply because I liked it.... Thank you.

 

 

Psalm

I prayed to the Lord for Guidance,
He asked me to follow Him.

I prayed to the Lord for Shelter,
He showed me the way to His house.

I prayed to the Lord for Sustenance,
He put me to work for Him.

I prayed to the Lord for Forgiveness,
He told me of my baptism.

I prayed to the Lord for my Soul,
He gave me Holy Communion.

I prayed to the Lord for Justice,
He moved my hand to write
and my lips to speak.

I prayed to the Lord for Peace,
He bade me play a song for Him.

I prayed to the Lord for Wisdom,
He sat my children upon my lap.

I prayed to the Lord for Strength,
My dearest friends held out their hands
and pulled me up from the ground.

I prayed to the Lord for Patience,
He sat down with me and held me close.

I prayed to the Lord for Hope,
We bowed our heads together.

I prayed to the Lord for Love,
He laid three nails in my hand
and told me I still had one great lesson yet to learn.

wood 2

ok, wood can suprise you.....I have been working on my sons long bow and all was fine until it was strung and pulled back... I found a hairline crack. Ive been working gluing and re-setting it. And after re gluing I had to re set it..... It looks good. So far so good.

.... I just got my new long bow..... Its hand Mandy 5'6' hickory long bow with a 55 pound pull...I was dissatisfied with the ebay purchase..... it was as described, but her shipping and lack or email sucked....not a thing you want to do when you want to set your

....This Summer I also had a great chance to work with wood. I stripped, sanded and retained my kitchen table. Its oak and it weights a freaking ton. I sanded and sanded through 4 grits of paper . I finished with a 350 grit. Then I added poly in 4 coats again sanding between each coat. Did it need it? No, but with kids you need several layers of poly to keep the table from being damaged from spills....... I wish I had a few more tools and more space to work with wood. I would love to make youth long bows.... Lets see where this goes....

Peace.
