Out on a limb...hope it don't break! (Limerick)

Blog Posted:1/17/2010 12:29:00 PM

WELL, I sure put myself on the spot... The reason? (I don't know, I forgot)... On a fickle fool's whim... I went out on a limb... And submitted my ugly mug-shot!... ***No more nasty little 'red letters' from the Soup...Guess they got that problem fixed too... For anyone who might be interested I have also been able to post photos of my three lovely girls, my son's high school graduation picture and my lovely wife at a post-wedding party in 1979 (At least I THINK I have but I'll have to check after this is posted)

Great photo...Seems to be a dedcated father or is it grandfather holding the child..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog..I got a picture up but not of me of the scenery...Doris had a bulging disc and arthritis...They had to remove a good bit of bone to relive the pressure on the nerve and do something to the disc...I think that they did a artifical joint..Sara

Handsome man, good values, sense of humor and loyal friend! What can I say, Tim, you've got it going on! And I think your cute grandson would agree. So glad you've shared your photo with the Soup family. Love, Carolyn

Seems my inexperience in blog posting has reared its ugly head again...The first part was supposed to be a 5-line limerick and the rest a paragraph...tried to edit but no dice! Oh well...
