I didn’t find a thread for this. Let me know if I missed it and I’ll repost.

I hope this thread flourishes with all of us contributing.


Our family grew this week. The grandson y’all knew on the old site as Pigboy (an FFA thing) became a dad. He and his precious wife gave us great grandchild number three, just four days before Rita’s birthday. She was so excited about the baby we wanted him to make to her date, but the baby is healthy and perfect and the date doesn’t seem to matter now.

You may remember praying for the parents. A year and a half ago her dad died just before the wedding. His dad died a short time after. They got a rough start. The new baby carries both father’s names in remembrance and is already helping the family heal.

I present to you, Ronald Paul. He and his Crappa are already creating mischief and making plans.

Now I also have Ronnie’s young cousins in East Texas to make up for lost time with. Many road trips yet to come for them. More pics to follow.

Awesome. Just awesome. Life is brutally beautiful. I was sitting here in a rental cabin on Lake Cayuga in Trumansburg, New York, smoking a pipe and marveling at me eldest daughter searching for little mussels, thanking God for letting me see it. Turns out youre doing the same thing.

I've liked any Paul I've ever met, btw.

He looks just like you! Does he like chili?

Congratulations. May God bless you all and speed your thriving through pain and joy.
