The man I love....... One funny at a time.


Words scribbled in the sand remind me of what love is.....
Simple, Fun and Years of Georg doing the unexpected....

I have been Married to Georg for 18 Years.
He never ceases to amaze me. His laughter and sharp wit has given me more laughter than any other person I have ever known. There's a side of Georg that some never get to enjoy, he keeps his guard up, allot like me. He's also the face I look to in the morning and at night, He's the one I turn to when I have issues that I don't know how to handle. He's the one that I yell at when we have a fight, But then he yells too sometimes, so I guess that makes us equal . He's was the shoulder I leaned on when part of my world was taken away from me, but then he suffered the same. He's the one that has rescued me so many times from things that I have, Either done or things that have been done to me. I'm not saying he's perfect, but maybe he is..... What exactly is perfect? He also snores so loudly that only the 3 stalkers(our 3 Dachshunds) could win out in a snoring contest. He does some pretty dorky things sometimes but then don't we all.....
He also is a Grandpa and a Father. During the course of his Children's lives he has .... worked. Yes, He's had to foot the bill of raising 2 sometimes 3 and even sometimes 4 Children, He's never complained..... well much. He also has the biggest heart for his Grand Daughter Bella. She's already a Grandpa's Girl. He does things to make me laugh sometimes, though, I don't think the Kids thought they were funny....
Of course Our Children are just like other kids, they had first dates and sleep overs, they had bad dreams and boo boos that needed kissing and all the while Dear old Dad was there to foot the bill.

Our Daughter Jessica wanted to learn to drive so Georg took her out for a drive. They had been gone about 35 minutes when Georg came racing back into the driveway, He looked shaken and even seemed to have a few new white hairs on his head... I asked him what was the matter and He said,I'm never taking that Daughter of yours driving again! So he says: "She ran a row of mail boxes down , TWICE!"
I said: "twice hmmmmm, He said "she isn't driving with me ever again I cant do it , I just hope the Authorities over at :"Parents against all Children driving, don't come take me away in a padded wagon, What was I thinking".
"She not only hit them from the front but then hit them again in reverse"! He walked away muttering something about Females and driving and a law against it........
Jessica hasn't drove much since then and I often wonder if she was the one really traumatized......*Notice he said Your Daughter* He always said this when the Kids did something he didn't want to take any part of the blame. Certainly he would never suggest that I had them alone because I am the kind of parent that births them tied to a chair, mouth taped shut and tied with a rope that has untie able knots . They start out in permanent time out mode and IF! they behave they can have a cookie.... *sigh* I wish I were kidding about this , Well I am, But I am the disciplinarian in our house. Yep the meanie, the poo head and the lady who carries a big stick. So for me to raise these Children all by myself would have been very unfair to the them.....


Georg brought the fun back into being the Dad... Of course as I'm sure any of my Children will tell you, He wasn't always skipping around throwing daises. But he always brought them toys and candy every Friday when he traveled and they knew they could wrap him around their fingers if they wanted something. He has always been the Boss when it came to Homework and Report Cards , I believed most excuses and they told some whoppers , So he had to take over in that area or they wouldn't be able to do math or tie their shoes.....


A Fathers revenge.....

William, Our Son, has also been the envy of all his friends. His Dad is one of THEM Dads ,You know the kind. They wear strange clothes , They do Jackass tricks when Mom's away, They order out because all of a sudden eating pizza is fun.
Once Georg had to pick Will up from teen Court and wore the above outfit, What.... doesn't it look stylish? Everyone turned and said : "Who is he....... " I'm sure poor Will didn't mutter a word, How could he .... Everyone would have teased him until he fainted Or at least dug a hole and buried himself in it.

Captain underpants (Lord help me .....)

Georg Is the kind of Man that likes the simple things, like new underwear.... He came out to show me and I HAD to snap a picture. Now some of you may not find this funny , But when you have a man dancing around your kitchen pumping up his muscles you just have to laugh.
He then becomes the "butt" of your jokes ... Pun intended LOL

Georg is the kind of guy that loves to start the grill, He can't cook on the grill, He just likes to start it. He goes through this ritual of getting the old charcoal out, then he puts each piece of charcoal in the grill in almost a pattern like method. He then takes a lighter and starts it, Well sometimes ..... There are these times when it doesn't start so He has to use his favorite stuff in the world, lighter fluid! He pours it on thick, just smothers the coals in it. Then instead of listening to me , He sticks his hand in and Whoosh.... There's a huge fire, roaring like a tornado at full speed.... His eyes get big, he spurts out an evil giggle, His manner almost devilish and says "Now that's a fire" After all the excitement of the lighting he then turns and says to me " HA! Look at my hand" .... I of course see no hair, Its singed off... I say to him " You know, One of these days your gonna blow your head off", He then gets another glazed look so I back off and go inside so I don't give him anymore ideas.

He also loves to mow his lawn and I let him rule there because I hate the Sun, Yes , Me ...
I do grow Roses and a Jade Tree but that's it! He handles all Mowers, edgers, weed whackers and hoses.... I let him be the King there. He had made some choices in mowing that have left us rolling in laughter but that's just Georg.....

I guess the gist of the situation is this, If you are lucky enough to find that one person who can make you smile, Keep them because life is so unfunny at times and any laughter helps!
So with this story at it's end.... Well not, because I know, I'm in for quite a few more years of funnies ....
So here without further ado is Georg in : "Holy Crap the Snap does wheelies".....



Peace!
