    Default Simple Joys of Life

    so, i was doing some chores when i got home from work, came out of the kitchen going into the hall toward the 'guy room' where the pool table is, and she startled me so badly i screamed like a little girl... then hugged her and didn't want to let her go.

    BG is home. [my daughter-by-proxy]

    she's here until the 30th. she latched directly onto shiner's D'Aquisto and has been playing since she got here. i can hear her sweet voice right now, she's singing away.

    i see a family jam after supper.

    life is Good.

    She just registered Steve. I warned her that it might take awhile to get approved, but honestly that's one of the things I love about this forum. Less spam when you know the moderators actually check folks out.

    It's great to have her home, even if it's only for a little while. This is the house she was born in, so it will always be home. We live a block from the hospital, and her mother and I actually walked there the night she was born.

    She hasn't put the D'Aquisto down since she got here. Crap, I might actually have to start looking for another one for a graduation present in a year.:

    By the way, she brought her Washburn. Seems the only person she trusts to change the strings is her old man (that's what she says, truth is, she's cheap and she knows I love doing it )

    Well that is just awesome! I hope I didn't steal your thunder. : But I couldn't help it when I saw the activation in process underway.

    RE: the strings, that's like what I did with my laundry and Mom when I came home from college. Come to think of it, my girlfriend's Mom too. But they claimed they truly loved it.

    So, let me get this straight... You're gonna buy her a D'Aquisto for graduation, and you change her strings for her because you love to do it...

    *gulp* Holy Crap! Furiously looks up legal forms websites

    I've printed up all the necessary adoption paperwork. I'll be there in an hour and a half, and I'll pay the filing fee at the Clerk's office in the morning.

    I'll be bringing a keg of Shiner Bock with me.

    Shiner, CB, sounds like a great day, now that the BG is home.

    You had me at the keg son. Looks like I have another child I didn't know about. I just wish this was the first time that ever happened.
