Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted July 9, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 9, 2019 I had an eight AM appointment at the Honda dealership to get a recall on the middle row seats fixed. They kept sending me this recall notice and said it was a safety issue so I finally made an appointment. The service manager said it would take about an hour. This made me feel not too bad. They asked me if I had been there before and I told them not with this car but with many other Hondas that we have owned. They came to the waiting room after about 15 minutes and said they couldn’t find me in the system and had me write down my name, address, and telephone number, this made me feel annoyed. I have had eight Hondas in there over the years for recall work, mostly airbag recalls. Finally after I had been there an hour they came in again and asked me if I had taken it to any other dealerships within the last couple months. They said the seats had already had the recall repair. We told them that when we bought the car over a year ago they made us wait about a week to get it because there was a recall on the seats and they had to wait on parts. This made me really annoyed. At ten o’clock they came in and said my car was done. They took off the other new parts and put a new set of the same parts on. This made me wonder why I even came. From there I started on my honey do list at four stores and the credit union. This made me feel frustrated but I got it done. i went home and started preparing a turkey for supper. I made stuffing and stuffed the bird and also filled a small roasting pan with dressing. This made me feel accomplished. I started cooking the turkey in an electric roaster out on one of the deck tables. Then I started peeling about seven pounds of potatoes. The potatoes had black spots where the eyes were which I had to gouge out with the potato peeler. While the potatoes were cooking I put on a large stockpot to boil two dozen ears of sweet corn .By then my son John had showed up with his family and his German Shepherd doggy. This made me happy. The kids all had their swimsuits on within a couple minutes and they were in the pool. A little bit later my son Ben showed up with his crew and my wife’s big sister showed up so I started carving the turkey. The granddaughters got wind of the smell of the turkey and surrounded me while I carved. They kept asking for pieces of the skin and were snitching small pieces of turkey. All that swimming must have worked up an appetite. This made me feel happy. The moms fixed plates for the littles and everyone else fixed their own plate. I made up a plate for my wife. She didn’t feel up to joining everyone out on the deck. This made me sad. People kept leaving the table and going in to talk to and check up on their mom or grandmom. This made me glad. After dinner everyone except my sister in law, my brother, and my wife and I got back in the pool. Altogether I fed sixteen people and all that was leftover was some gravy and some dressing. Everyone left by 11PM and I started to clean up the mess and wash the dishes. I just got finished and now am ready for bed. This day made me feel wonderfully. Blessed I just wish my wife was felling better. 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted July 9, 2019 Author Popular Post Share #3 Posted July 9, 2019 This is my son John’s youngest. This is junior, he is a year and a half and never slows down. He is so stinking cute, reminds me of my son at that age. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted July 9, 2019 Share #6 Posted July 9, 2019 Quote pieces of the skin and were snitching small pieces of turkey. Dad's side was PA Dutch. Pieces like that were called "schnitzels" If you dropped your schnitzel, you were likely to be called a "schusslekke" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted July 9, 2019 Share #10 Posted July 9, 2019 Did the doggie make it into the pool? That could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son had a dog when he was growing up that loved the water. If the kids didn’t want to swim he would drop a tennis ball into the pool and when it drifted to the other side of the pool he would jump into the pool and go “rescue” it. He would do this over and over again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
