Stories To Share
Here we go into 2017 and my boy will be graduating from High school, hard to believe. Among that momentous event to come will be the stories my father has shared along the way.
Sometimes dad tells the same story for whatever reason but every once in a while he shares a story that was once long forgotten.
One story he told had to do with the time he was on The Ohio State Highway Patrol, particularly on route four, the tiresome trail that goes north and south. I'm thinking about this story because with the new years , many patrol has to deal with drinking and driving, accidents and traffic deaths.
This is on a lighter side as dad told about his partner that night had trouble driving in the snow, more or less with the turn around in the medium. Everytime he made a u turn , he and dad ended up in the ditch and in the same place. This was sound were a farm was, so the farmer came out with his tractor and pulled them out. After awhile the farmer joked with them and told them to keep the tractor until they were done with it.
I asked dad if they did, dad chuckled and said it only happened that last time.
The next story ironically is closely related to those foods that we all eat around the holidays or we sneak, hoping that our doctor don't find out. I share this because this should be in particular interest to you Stephen as it pertains to you.
Once when my dad came to see you and his cholesterol was high. You asked him what he had been eating. Of course dad confessed that he had visited "Bob Evans" and had biscuits and sausage gravy.
That caught your attention immediately and you told him Schizz which was true , that it wasn't good for him.
All was well until dad caught you at "Bob Evans"
Dad walked up and said hi and you simply said " It would have to be you".
I can tell you Stephen,he still laughs about it and hey don't sweat it, he does it to everybody.
So tomorrow being New Year's Eve, please have a safe day and celebrate humbly, that's what the kids and I are doing, staying home with some good shows and movies. Be so nice to spend it with you but you have a wonderful group there, love and prayers to all of them!
Love you so very much, please take care of yourself OK
