They tried to get the kids to dance and sing a song together, but he has never been one to join in. Apparently, he sang a few words toward the end of the song. -

When 2nd son #sonTwo was in college, one of his roommates had a family that his family "inherited" as servants for more than a century. So it appears that some enslaved people still remain. -

There's a story there, and their dad #sonTwo will immediately recognize it. In conversation from mustard permalink -

4 year old #GS3 dutifully helped fill the bag, while 2 year old #GS filled his tummy. The photos don't show 8 months old #GS5 doing either, but I'm sure he had some berries.
I can see 6 teeth in his mouth and I see his hand reaching out.
Looks like a fun Saturday.In conversation from mustard permalink -

I think they also got a rooster, so they're building a fully enclosed coop to protect the kids.
Also protects the rooster. The dogs would tear him up if they thought he was a threat to the kids.In conversation from mustard permalink -

It features an indoor display (LCD) and up to four outdoor sensors. It does temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure, which it uses to predict storms.
I wanted to send one with the wind sensor (spinny cups and turning arrow) and precipitation measurer, but it was four times the price.In conversation from mustard permalink -

An off-duty city worker was driving past and told us he'd get it when he was working. Sure enough, a few days later, he brought it to my workplace. In conversation from mustard permalink -

This became the official song at family wedding receptions because of some embarrassing history.
One day when #sonTwo (2nd son) and #Daddy_A (half son) were in middle school, I picked them up and we stopped at McDonald's to eat and do homework before the Wednesday night church service.
Love Train came on, and their non-dancing father got up and started dancing around. 2nd son said "dad, you're embarrassing us." I said, "I'm going to dance just like this when this song gets played at your wedding."
And so, every wedding, this song plays and I dance to it.In conversation from web permalink -

I think I'm going to have a will drawn up. I don't have any known illness to prompt it, but still.
The truth is, (1) I changed a song on my list for my memorial after I'm gone, and (2) I know that 2nd son #sonTwo is the only family member who would follow my instructions, so I want to ensure that he's in charge.
Related: there's some custody / support paperwork that I want to clean up. Now that he's 35, it really does not matter, but I wouldn't want to give any excuse to someone who wishes to overrule my own wishes.In conversation from web permalink -

I didn't really have friends stay overnight, but one of my brothers frequently did. So much that when some of his friends got kicked out, they came to stay with us.
I did see a change between when #sonOne (1st son) grew up and when #sonTwo (2nd son) came along ten years later, but that pales in comparison to the article.In conversation from web permalink -

Unfortunately, even with "order a size larger", the two year old's slippers were too small. #sonTwo is going to the store on his way home from work to pick up some slippers, because he was really unhappy that he didn't get to wear his slippers.

We got to an intersection and I ran up, jumped, stuck out my arm and spun around a light pole.
