5 quirkky things about him

He was "Mr Computers" when they first came out--taught computer classes, helped other teachers learn to use them, was a master programmer, etc. But now, he can't even get on a website without panicking!

He can hardly walk to the bathroom from his bed in bare feet--he has to have socks and shoes on AT ALL TIMES

He is Mr Laundry--and is very particular about how it must be done. He does it all at our house, and DON'T TOUCH HIS LAUNDRY.

This I love about him--He NEVER leaves a mess behind! He cleans up after himself, never leaves his clothes anyplace but where they belong--not even a sock on the floor EVER!

He hates to talk on the phone and would rather drive 50 miles to talk to someone to avoid a call!

Redneck Grandma

YOU'RE A REDNECK IF . . .

You sit in a cold gymnasium for 7 hours just to watch you grandson, Trey, play 2 40-minute basketball games

You have to sit there because you were told they would play at 9 and they didn't play until 12:30

You don't leave because they might change their minds and play early!!

Then, after the 12:30 game you don't leave because they play again at 3:oo!

You finally get done at 4:00, so proud of yourself that you have 16 really good pictures for Trey's scrapbook!

You get home and discover, after seaching every crevice in the car, every pocket, throughout your purse, under everything that you have LOST YOUR CAMERA!! Don't expect another picture blog anytime soon :(
