You are right I remember Jonathan playing little league. Some of the parents were  out right crazy and some even to their own children.

I know my wife can relate to this terrible tragedy, she discovered her dad dead in there living room when she was 13. 

How did she get through such a horrible time?  We are trying to help the kids but it is tough.  They just can’t accept that he is gone😢

I have no words, Marietta.  Just love them as I am sure you are doing.  Cry with them, laugh with them, and get them counselling if they need someone to talk to.  Make sure you and Charlie take care of yourselves too.  My heart breaks for all of you.

My Father found his Father dead on the kitchen floor when he came home from school at 8 yrs old.    I think it helps children understand when they actually see the person is dead.

Beautiful day and now time to grill some filets with @A&L_Ont and his special steak seasoning.

 

 

And of course I can’t grill without a cocktail. Drinking Sea Dog’s version of a “Black Manhattan.” Oh so good!

 

Cheers!

She thanks you. She's 9 years old and is so excited she finally gets to go to Cocoa Cay after seeing it from a distance. She's my new co-host for my cruise YouTube Channel and a Special Reporter for the kids club. We're going on Enchantment and we're trying the trampoline together! 

 

She doesn't know this, but she's booked on my Anthem 2023 cruise and we're going on the Bumper Cars together. She was supposed to join me on them in April but couldn't take the cruise.

I agree.  Some people thought they should not have gone to the wake but they needed to.  Your poor father, so sad.

I think wakes are very important for kids who lose a close relative. Seeing contributes to the process of understanding.

Sorry. Bungee trampolines are gone from Enchantment. You might want to let her know.

This was Monday afternoon, folks packing up. I heard it was packed yesterday. Plus our part of beach is generally sparse. More crowded between pier and Ron Jon area

Never saw a funeral until I was a young man

I went to a couple different funerals as a young child.   I think that helped me understand. 

 The one that has always stuck in my memories is a good friend in 3rd grade was killed by a hit and run car coming home from sledding.   I had been sledding with him that morning and went home for lunch while he was still sledding with others.   

Most of our 3rd class went to his wake and funeral with permission by parents.   My Mom being a teacher was there with us and I can still remember him laying in his casket.  I remember telling my Mom he doesn't even look hurt.

A couple days later they caught the guy that hit him.

I hope everyone is enjoying Memorial Day!   We had a hot one here.   Officially done mulching, cars are washed and vacuumed and laundry is done.

Picked up a bunch of London broil and porterhouse steaks on sale at Shoprite and Weis food stores and vacuumed bagged them and in the freezer they are.

Eric remembered he still has gift certificate from Chris for Omaha steaks.   Think we will order some stuff for the shore in June.

That's horrible.   Did the catch the person?

On a happier note, How are you doing with your new chair/walker?   Are you zooming around the neighborhood in this beautiful weather?

He was riding his bike and two 12 year old boys knocked him off his bike and when he was on the ground they were punching him.They were caught and arrested.

Yesterday I went out and walked about 50 feet.Today I walked 4 blocks.I hope to increase my walking each time I go out.Today I saw and spoke to a neighbor who I last had a conversation with in 2019.

[Bailey & Sophie]

 

So today our walk was to Minnehaha Park and the "famous" Falls. It was HOT and very crowded. After viewing the falls we went the long way around through the Minneapolis Veterans Home where my mom is a memory care patient. We were not in time to participate in the doings today but got to spend a bit of time with mom.

THANK YOU to all the Veterans. I appreciate your service.

How did you find the seasoning?  Did you find that you seasoned them enough, too much or did they need more?

Is Jonathan coming over, or are you doing one for the puppies?

Seen some fabulous photos from the Whale watch cruises in Sydney this week.  Wouldn’t want to be doing it  today - very gusty here today.  I love those cruises don’t get seasick but vertigo rules it out for me this season.

Also saw amazing drone footage of three swimmers early yesterday morning swimming off Bondi Beach as two whales passed them by
