Tonight I got some very good news!

[RevCheesehead]

My Dad is coming here for Easter! :bounce::bounce:

[miss_american_pie]

1. That is wonderful news

Will you be cooking?

[RevCheesehead]

um.... maybe.

Unless I convince him that lunch in Sturgeon Bay would be easier. This is Holy Hell Week for me, so I'll be doing churchly duties all week.

Come to think of it, now I've got to do more cleaning, too. Oops. :)

[miss_american_pie]

4. LOL

That sounds like a much better plan.

[bigwillq]

2. That's great!

:bounce:

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

6. Thanks for celebrating with me!

:hi::pals:

[auntAgonist]

3. Yay! that is heartwarming,

I hope / know you will have a special time together.
:hug:

5. I was shocked he said yes.

I was convinced he was going to stay home, and I'd be on the road Easter, right after church. I'm going to go pick him up on Wednesday, and he'll be here all weekend. (Dad's 87, and doesn't like to drive long distances anymore.)

7. Hooray!!

That's wonderful news...I know I always enjoy it when my dad comes to visit.

[RevCheesehead]

8. The last time they were here was 2 years ago.

I think it will help both of us to be together for the holidays, and ease some of the pain. While I still have my Dad, I'm gonna love him as much as I can. :)

9. My dear Rev!

What wonderful news for both of you! I know you'll have a very good time...

He needs you, now more than ever, methinks!


BTW, I hope you've forgiven my snarky, rude remarks from last night......


:loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

10. I need him as much as he needs me.

So it's a win-win in my book. :)

Oh, and thanks. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. .............

:hug:

[merh]

11. YEAH!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you Popey!

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

12. Thanks, O Divine Ms. M!

I knew you'd be thrilled to hear it! :hug::loveya:

[merh]

14. It is absolutely wonderful news!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

16. Q for you:

In a locked thread (yeah, I read 'em), you mentioned something about "Cherry Delights." Do you realize that place is just up the road from here, about 5 miles? I kid you not! :7

[merh]

29. Those candies are the most delicious candies on this planet!

How lucky you are to live so close to where they are made.

Should I ever have the chance to visit you I hope you know that we will have to go there. :D

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

30. I was gonna ask them if you could move in for the summer.

If not, maybe you could stay here and work there during the day. :)

See? I see it as another sign that we were destined to be friends. :hug::loveya:

[merh]

35. Now that would be one long commute.

:silly:

And it is so sweet of you to offer me a home for the summer. You are too sweet. :hug:

What, we need signs? :shrug: We are friends and nothing can change that. :pals: :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

36. Amen, sister.

:hug::loveya:

[JanMichael]

15. This is Stephanie, not Michael

Very very happy for you guys!

[RevCheesehead]

18. Thanks, Steph!

:hug:

[Redstone]

17. You're due some good news. Overdue, in fact.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

19. Who am I to argue with the wisdom of Redstone?

:hug:

[Redstone]

22. Hey, I'm great at dispensing wisdom. Like here:

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

23. Very good.

But how are you at listening to the wisdom of others? ;)

[Redstone]

24. I try very hard, I do. But I tend to forget, as you know. Also, as an

ADD adult, I have "dropouts" (times when I'm absolutely listening and paying attention, but half a sentence or so will just go missing...it's kinda like your car radio when you go through a tunnel), and can't always ask people to repeat what I missed.

...you were saying?

Redstone

[ContraBass Black]

20. Yay.

God be with you on this most challenging of weeks.

[RevCheesehead]

21. Thank you so much for that!

This morning I was really dreading this week. But now that Dad's coming, I'm really looking forward to it. :)

:hug:

[Dangerously Amused]

25. Yaaaaay!

The time together will be good medicine for both of you.

[RevCheesehead]

27. There's also a good chance that one of my cats...

will be dancing just like that one. Oh, here's Oreo, right on cue! :)
(she wants to be held)

[SeattleGirl]

26. How wonderful, Rev!

That will be so special for you, and for your dad! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

28. Thanks, SG!

I can't begin to say how happy I am about this!!

Say... you haven't been awake all day, have you?? :)

[SeattleGirl]

34. Not at all.

Went to bed about 6:00 this morning, and slept until close to 3:00.

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. YAY!!!! Have fun together, talk story about mom,

and cook him something wonderful, or take him out for a bitchin' fat and grease and cholestoral and meat-based wonderful comforting Wisconsin Easter ultra-lunch/supper.

Stuff him with brats and sauerkraut and steak and potatoes and fries and fried cheese and everything wonderful.

And have fun!!!

[RevCheesehead]

32. I'll have to buy some balsamic vinegar.

Any recommendations?

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. Recommendations? Yeah - hit him in the head with a bottle of it!

Or take it to a restaurant, and the first kid who opens his fucking mouth, you kill his parents with it for not controlling their little shits in public.

:-)

I have no idea what kind of vinegar I have, and, truth to tell, I'm really too lazy to go walk over and check. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not as nice as what I could have bought in NYC.

:cry:

But then again, maybe it is? Both bottles I have are from Italy, different manufacturers, and both are wonderful, and were picked totally randomly (though the aged one wasn't really random since it was the only aged one that the store had).
