Fathers day & our anniversary

Hi there, every once in a while I have a good weekend, this weekend bordered on really great. I am still happy. It started with my wife asking what could she get me for fathers day. I told her I don't really need anything but a few big  ticket items, but there was one thing only she could give me and it would mean more to me than anything else. What is it she asked, I said for us to have a real good weekend together, I mean for her to try no matter what comes up this weekend stay in a good mood and for us to just to be happy and enjoy each other as much as we could. It worked ! We had a great time just being with each other and fooling around. I wish we could stay this way but I know life has a way of messing it up with bad moods, headaches, body aches, sudden problems , family or friends messing it up, you know how it goes, but we are fighting side by side to stay in a good and happy mood. So far , so good and we are into Tuesday!
 My two sons came over and visited with us for awhile then took me out to eat at a place that makes the best hot wings in the area. Now that was fun, me and my boys out together enjoying being with each other. My new daughters each wished me a happy fathers day and one said she would see me in the afternoon. Sure enough about a half hr after my boys left she showed up looking great with the biggest smile on her face you can imagine and came over and gave me a big ole bear hug and said she loved me and hoped my day was going good. She stayed for a while and talked with me and her mom. We talked and laughed about stuff going on in our lives. Good times !
 About 5:30 PM I got a call from my daughter whom I had not heard from all day and she was at the beach and when I told her I thought she forgot about me , she said she forgot it was fathers day.
 It was the wife's and mine anniversary yesterday, another year, I hope there is many more to come. We decided on getting a present for us instead of for each other , a new outdoor grill, I was going to get a small one, she wanted a nice one, I gave in and agreed. So Monday I went shopping Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot and then back to Walmart and bought a real nice one, came home and put it together and had it sitting in the living room all  nice and shinny with a card and roses for my wife when she came in from work.She wanted a nice one and I got that in spades! She was really impressed and started to cry reading my card! Yess, I got her good! She never saw it coming , Ha ha. So that night we had steak and salad and broke in that new grill !
 It's been good again today, Talked with one of my sisters and my brother who live far away . I mean it just been one good day after another, I don't know how many more there will be but we are on a roll. Don't sweat the small stuff, don't try to fix the world , let people be people and live there life and just try to mind  mine and not there's. Ya, life is good sometimes ! You remember that ! ~ Rob.

new song

Hello again, hello,  Neil Diamond wrote and had a hit on this song years ago, a while back I saw the movie "Jazz singer" starring him and his music. Great movie. So when the wife and I go to bed I start singing "Hello again hello" At the top of my radio announcer voice.( The voice u use to imitate the announcers on radio or TV, big from your diaphragm) She cracks up, I think I sound just like Neil Diamond and continue to sing the song, trying to make my voice crackle and draw the ending of the words out like he does. She continues to laugh almost uncontrollably, all this in the dark, in the bed. Life is good when something like this happens. So next morning as we are waking you know what I do.. ha ha... she says I got the song now stuck in her head.
 That day I learn the song on my guitar, she gets home from work and I close the garage door and pull out the guitar and preform the song for her.( The acoustic in the garage are great! It reverberates really cool like a small canyon or cave) Yes! She likes it, good times. I'm on top of the world for a little bit.
 Yesterday I put new strings on my guitar and it sounds brand new. I am thinking of my sister just cause. just cause she popped in my head. all the sudden a start for a song comes to me, after a little while I have wrote my sister a song about what she means to me but with a funny ending. I like it! I really like when I can do that, wish I could write more but they don't come along everyday, I'm not sure why but most days I cant compose anything , words or music, but yesterday the were both there. So last night was the world premier for my new song and I preformed it for my wife. I looked up at her near the end and she has stopped what she was doing and watching me and had the biggest smile on her face! Yaa ! It's good to see her smile. You ought to see her smile, her whole face lights up into a big grin and she just beams and you can't help but feel better just looking at her. She liked my little song for my big sister. Success ! Yes I can do something sometimes and it turns out ok. I'm not a complete failure, now to wait till I see my big sis again and surprise her with it, unless she reads this, but that's ok maybe it will wet her appetite for it and she will even ask to hear it ! It's a good day so far just thinking of this and its only 8:40 am. 
 Ok time to start the coffee pot going and figure out what I'm doing today, you have a good day and thanks for taking time out of your life to read my ramblings ~ peace~ Rob.
