On his last leg

I have a grand father that is 86 and is sleeping in a hospis. Because that is what it is, I went down to Reno this past week and spend some time with him. Rather than show you a picture of him and his room I have decided to share a picture I took of the boys and their family that I took while I was on that trip. Ted's Great and Great Great grand kids.
Lexy,Ky,Dusty, Terry, Charles, Candy and Charlie D.

DT said...: Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Hospices are good choices this late in the game. I've had several uncles check out through their services, all with the utmost dignity and respect. *** Thanks for an updated family picture. Don't tell them, but I sure miss those turdbirds! :) I see Dusty with his badge of stupid, err, courage. Candie told me about the car, jack and no jack stands... at least it wasn't a TANK! LOL

One day last week while driving to work I watched as a SUV that was directly behind me drifted into the on coming lane of a two lane hwy at nearly 60 mph with a fully loaded semi coming strait on. The diesel driver locked his breaks and began to swerve at the same time the young driver in the SUV had completely crossed the highway and had left the pavement momentarily then turned back only to roll over onto the drivers side skidding to a stop just a few feet from the now stopped diesel and me in my Blazer.
