Oh, it was a BLAST!! Freepers are the BEST!
Wish you could go sometime!
Wow, what a beautiful family. The Missus and I started late, our little one is soon to be 12.

I was a linebacker in high school......and I was (and remain) a big fan of the best linebacker to ever play the game....#66 of the GREEN BAY PACKERS (RAY NITSCHKE - HOF).
My coach (Coach Jerry Wonders) gave me that nick-name (team mates concurred) because I was not able to differentiate between “practice” and actual games. I hit everybody with the same ELAN. Just like my IDOL! Hence the “66” after my name.
Rather than going on to college I joined the MARINES (in 1969) and became an artillery gunner.
I hope that answers your question.
:-)
No we are down to 3 letters:)
Yeah I had to get some chocolate-toffee-candy.
SweetBaby is called Papa also, just spelled different.
Mimo is the absolute best job I ever had too! They are GRAND!
They are about the sweetest litte blessings to come my way, for sure!
My husband just melts at the sound of their voices.

Sorry I don’t have a military nickname, some of them are funny! ;-)

You're right, those original calcium carbide lamps (that is the correct nomenclature, but back then everybody called them "carbide lamps") must be worth a lot nowadays. There are copies, of course, sold in specialty catalogs. It never occurred to us to keep the originals.
I would love to come to Texas-my husband does not like to fly.
Guys and gals in the military can be ruthless with each other, even though everyone knows it’s all in jest.
We’re Nana and Poppa. My better half is FBI (Full-blooded Italian) and that’s what the grandparents are called. We wanted our Piper to call us that, but didn’t push it. We were ecstatic when she did...I think her Momma had something to do with it!
Nope, I dont have any of them old railroad lamps and carbide lamps I had collected as a kid.
Im kicking myself now LoL
That’s a great age.We have a big family and love it.I still have a 21 year old daughter at home.Different party every week.I don’t make them all and the family likes to play board games and fight to win:)
