A bromance here this morning uncle boog the chocolate lab and his nephew

I walked upstairs to shower, and our daughter opened up the bedroom door. And there stood young mister my grandson ready to go greet the day. My daughter goes he heard you dad in the bathroom and he was wide awake. She tried to get him to go back to sleep and that was not happening with young mister ,we were gonna head out and fish. But ma nature tossed thunder and lightning our way so no fishing.

I would seriously be on my wife’s shit list if our sons got hit with lighting sarcasm. Although I knew a dude in 82nd from second platoon that got hit by lightning. He was ok fried the prc the prick I think we carried 77’s radios then sorry I go off on rambles although my wife says at 53 your columbo Peter falk is really starting to show. Oh hell that was decades ago memory’s getting really hazy.

So the grandson has moved on from grilled cheese he’s twenty months old. Pap grilled cheese was so two months ago seriously get with the program old man. So this morning we served chicken tenders from the market that I picked up yesterday, and I did instant spuds with gravy washed down with apple juice.

ZZ Top for our choice of breakfast music it’s our deal we have to have breakfast music from the laptop .sometimes I’ll open up my tokai les and pick along I get big smiles. This morning no picking we just chatted , and it hit me the song( my heads in Mississippi ) was playing and the one part is boog totally clueless. The verse from the song that says I was stumbling through a parking lot of a invisible 711 what am I doing out here.

After breakfast I thought we’d get into playing with the train set , absolutely not grandson and uncle boog chilling out on the couch , watching hop the movie I headed to the patio to enjoy my pipe and Folgers.

I had as cool a Pap as you TEB when I was that age who played me ZZ Top at breakfast and fixed me chicken and spuds .... I did not know either of my Paps, they were gone before I came along.

Dear TEB, Just a note to say how much I enjoy your early morning posts about Boog and grandsons and the good simple life together. Thank you for sharing these glimpses into a life awake and aware of the good that surrounds us in the small moments.
