Austyn.... and me....

Austyn spent yesterday with me the first half the day and both Grandma and I in the afternoon....
We had a great visit, but it was a typical Monday, all day long... for me, on phone, computer, etc...
anyway... Austyn brought along his game player ... and he showed me how to play the skateboard game he had.... it looked hard and (it was!)...!

Anyway, mid afternoon, I challenged him to a game and told him I was going to wax him... he he... and as luck had it, I did... but not really... see, from years of watching kids play, I knew there had to be something one could do over and over and over and it might rack up points... well, I found it and did that, and Austyn just kept learning new tricks and truly showing me all the great moves... so in fact he truly is the MASTER and I am the student.... although the score reflected I won, he was the winner in heart and mind for me....

He is really growing fast. He told me he can now sing and play tunes at the same time with his guitar. He has been taking lessons for some time and is really advancing at a record pace.

I asked him when he was going to get a hair cut, as he has always worn his hair short, and he replied NEVER... ha ha... oh do I remember when.... he he.. back in the 60's .... anyway.... his hair looks great and its wavy and blond.... and pour ole dad needs to get ready cuz these kiddos go from 1st grade to 12 grade in record time.. and in about 9 years... he will be wanting that vet and interest will change from boy things to young ladies.... and ... oh my goodness....

I am very proud of you Austyn!

My friend Bob Priess writes...........

My kiddos know Bob Priess and he and his family are great lifelong friends.... they live between Coyle and Guthrie and Bob is farmer, rancher, pilot, auctioneer, cattle buyer, real estate person... who is really a great 'people' person....

Anyway.. my purpose in stating the above is to share from time to time some of Bob's thoughts with you here.. almost every morning with my coffee comes an email and he usually includes some random thoughts about life that I find very rewarding in their simplicity...

here is today's thought....

"few people think about other folks feelings as they plod through life only thinking with their ego and an attitude of whats good for them it is refeshing to have friends who think with a true heart rather than a pocketbook" yeah its another thought from bob time of day sys bp

have a great day.... Happy Birthday.... to all....
