Happy memories will hopefully be with our kids when they talk to others as adults. We can only do our best to make it so!

Sorry guys, I got a bit deep there didn't I?

These days it's all Directv and Dish Network..........but it's coming full

(aerials) up on their houses again.......I'd swear they just design this stuff
just to raid our wallets !

Dave, sounds like you're doing a pretty dam good job of making good memories for your kids. The problem is all the people who don't. The one's that care too much about themselves and too little about the young ones.
Good for you, bud.

Sprock, you're right about coming full circle. Funny stuff, for sure.. lol..
