Ode To My Son

Oh son, you were so small and cute




It seems like yesterday,

You tried to fill your Daddy's shoes




Of this we can't refute.

As you have grown



I've watched to see

What kind of man you'd be



I've watched you learn and lead and work
And of you I am proud.

Must Have

Connie this blog is for you. You posted things you must have and asked what the readers' must haves are. So-after much thought, struggle, and decisions I have decided on my must haves.

I will start with the only girly thing I could come close to thinking of.

#1







This is the first hand lotion I found to work on my dry hands. I can't stand smelly stuff, nor can I stand greasy stuff. So-This Gold Bond Brand lotion is my one and only semi-girly must have.

#2




Nike Tennis Shoes. Good for 8 1/2 mile walks and the only brand I have found that are comfortable for my feet. Two pair are good to have on hand at a time.







#3



George Foreman Grill--a present from my parents one year. Excellent tool for high protein diets. A real pain to clean because it is time consuming and hard to get scraps out of the grill plate, but worth it--especially when I lose weight while on my diet.


#4




Laptop. Good for completing school papers and online classes. Not long life though--needs to be replaced every so often to keep a fast running system.






#5




Wireless printer--COOL! Can sit across the room, on the porch, in the bedroom and print. Drawback-must have ink.









#6




Books. Lots and lots of them.











#7




My dog. Nice to cuddle with while I read one of those many books.








#8




Porch swing. The dog completes the set. Add a book and a cool day and what more could I ask for?
