Thank You Obama

After 8+ years of anger, name calling and strife, my one New Years resolution is to force myself to be more kind and forgiving.

To help me to do that I have chosen to think what my Grandparents would say,

They were kind and gentle mountain folk and owned a small farm with a couple of cows and one horse.

So it is in their honor that I utter these words: " Thank you Obama for your service to Americans". because I clearly recall them saying thank you to the man who brought the bull to service their cows.

Forgiving others is a great thing to do. However, telling them you forgive them often is a BAD idea.

Gaffer, you do your father great honor here, I am very thankful for his service.

[Gaffer]

Thank you - for him.

Help him hang on!

My dad died at 90. The 90s are tough years.

I’m confident he’ll have a ‘special’ place when he moves on!

Say, hasn’t obozo rendered the same sort of “service” the Infernal Revenue Service renders to the rest of us each year?

I believe obozo should be the next recipient of the prestigious “Lois Lerner Trophy”.

And I tend to believe that very thing myself......;)

A very dear friend of mine passed away back in October. He was a patriot, a staunch conservative and a combat veteran of Vietnam. He always warned me of the globalists, the Trilaterists and the ways of the Left and it's pursuit of power. He often lamented that the country he fought for was irrevocably lost. How I wish he could be here to see Trump take office.

Yes, I know I’m fortunate indeed. He is a fine man and still pretty sharp for 91. Went to Sunday School with him this morning. I work with him most days.

He still lives alone (mom has been gone almost 4 years). He has a lady that spends 1/2 day 5 days a week helping him. She washes his clothes, fixes his meals, cleans his house, takes care of his medicine.

He is happiest when he is involved in the farm, particularly when we build something. It was the thing he loved the most. He was a general building contractor for many many years. Did some amazing work.

My wife still has her father and he is about that age as well. He still drives, but not very often. Took himself off the road just recently, which I thought would kill him, but he is adapting very nicely. Of course his girlfriend lives across the road, so that helps and she is probably 20-30 years younger than he is. So she can still drive and he goes over to her house and eats. He has a woman come in once a week to clean his house, but he does his own laundry.

His only real problem is his eyesight, and it prohibits him from doing his little build projects that he desperately misses. I'm almost convinced he will outlive me. 8>)
