Quentin Turned 21

My eldest son Quentin turned 21 yesterday. The family drove to Fredericksburg and had a very nice dinner at the The Brewery. I bought him one of the nice in house beers. When we ordered the waitress did not card him, so I suggested to her that he looked a little young and she should check his ID so we could get a picture.

The Brick Testament


For some of you the Bible is too complicated and obscure. That is why I found this link so promising. The entire Bible told in Legos.

Update


Update on a true ironman.

The Baptist Dog

A Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted.

The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife. "Fetch the Bible," he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner.

"Now find Psalm 23," he commanded.

The dog dropped the Bible to the floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw.

The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.

That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed. One man asked, "Can he do regular dog tricks, too?"

"I haven't tried yet," the pastor replied.

He pointed his finger at the dog. "HEEL!" the pastor commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor's forehead and began to howl.

The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, "Oh my! He's Pentecostal!"

Tuesday Night Lights

My nephew Brandon playing football. He is number 83 and plays cornerback and wide receiver. He told me his coach said that he is the best receiver he has seen at this level. I can confirm that he catches everything that is thrown to him, which is pretty rare at the middle school level. I look forward to watching Brandon play for Texas and to his pro career, where of course Uncle Chris will be his agent.

P.S. Marjorie does not wear glasses. She is just trying to look fashionable.

Breakfast Flaps

The other day I cooked breakfast and invented Breakfast Flaps. I fried up some eggs and bacon and then I folded them into tortillas with generous portions of shredded chedder and fried them up in a little butter. Everyone loved them.
