It went like this… “Look at all those things..” “What? Where?” “There..(points across the room) there and there, and Boom.” “Uh, the chairs?” “No, those.”(Points again) “The ladies?” “Yeah, over there. I had to help but its ok now.” “O.K. Dad. Good job.” “Yep. That one keeps staring at me so I have to do [...]

My youngest daughter went out to help her daddy trim up the trees in the front yard. ok…maybe it WAS more of an advisory position  :0) Anyway, they were trying to figure out how high to trim the trees. In doing this, they, inadvertently left a branch in the road. Then there was a boy. [...]
