Ya know sometimes ya take life fer granted....ya see the sky is a beautiful shade of blue... 'n ya look at it and sigh and move on. Ya see a fluffy white cloud in the sky 'n ya think it looks like a soft pillow... 'n ya keep walkin'....'n ya see a river flowin' with houses on the shore...'n houses perched on the edge of a hill...'n green trees 'n sunshine.. 'n ya think...oh boy...what a great day this is.
Pittsburgh is really a pretty city....'n sometimes we just don't appreciate what we're seein' when we drive around. 'N Gram is always angry when she drives through the city tryin' ta get from here ta there.. 'n doesn't have her camera with her. Last time she went over to brother Scott's place, she remembered it 'n snapped three pictures of the Mon River from the movin' car....
See the houses at the river banks 'n the houses perched on the hills above the river......blue skies with fluffy white clouds floatin' like soft pillows on their way ta heaven....
The Mon River has pretty dirty lookin' water but it's still beautiful ta look at 'cause it's here... 'n it's ours...'n it's part of Pittsburgh.... 'n all that we love about it......'n most of all it's a sample of the stuff Mother Nature creates fer all of us ta enjoy.....
Sunday June 15, 2008
Taday was Father's Day....'n what a grand Day it was too....it started out pretty humid 'n kinda dreary...but then the sun came out 'n the humidity eased a bit...'n the day was Grand......
Toby started the morning out on his perch on the back of the sofa in the familyroom....roachin' out....relaxed lookin' isn't he????
We had a picnic cookout fer lunch at our house. Brother Scott....'n Heather....smelly baby Parker.... 'n Brother Brian.....'n Aunt Carol...'n Great Grandma Dorothy...'n of course Gram 'n Pap were here.....along with us, of course.....
Do ya remember the baby hooman Parker? Well, he's gettin' ta be pretty big now...close ta 4 months old...'n he does more now that he is gettin' over being a big baby.....I mean a little baby....
Here he is with Great Gram Dorothy....I bet ya can tell which one is the Great Gram...'n which one is the baby Parker...can't ya? He's gettin' his first tooth ( inagine that...him bein' 4 months old 'n all....we had our teeth long before that...must be why babies are defective in growin' up)
We really had a nice visit with everyone...'n the day turned out ta be really nice too...we had another bowl of ice cream after everyone was gone.....'n Gram took us fer a nice long walk too....
Yeah, life is good, I tell ya...tomorrow I'm gonna look at the clouds...'n check out the color of the sky...'n see if the river is runnin' straight fer a change...'n make sure those houses on the hill didn't fall off 'n land in the river.........Pittsburgh, Pa.........a nice place ta live....
Oh yeah....ya need ta say a few more prayers with us now....can ya? Cause the Midwest is still gettin' bad weather...'n floodin'...'n maybe the prayers we've been sayin' are defective or somepin'...so say 'em harder...'n say 'em louder...they need our HELP......
Dewey Dewster here......reportin' on Pittsburgh... 'n Father's Day.....'n checkin' out nature.....'n savin' the Midwest
