The club house will have to wait

Julie and I were at odds anyway. I say a club house is different than a tree house. She says a tree house should be put together with what ever you find laying around the house. I'm ok with that. But I say a club house should be BIG. Have bunk beds, a firemens poll, maybe roof access and a widow walk. In other words I want to spend about $700 to build one.

I'm planning on doing it with out really getting permission. You know how that goes, don't worry she never reads my blog.....oh, crap is that her.....honey I was kidding, really-I-was......


BUT. A couple days ago the black berries in our "woods" started to ripen. I told Abby she and Isaac should pick them and we'll have pie and jams and yummy stuff.

The kids are excited and do just that, they pick berries. Good kids. They leave the new bowl of berries on the family room table. In comes their 2 year old sister. There goes the carpet. Now I have puple pok-a-dotted carpet. It's not coming clean.

I was having a bad day anyway and informed the kids that new floor is $700.00 a new club house is $700.00. Guess which one I have to do first.........

Than 2 old ladies yelled at Julie and said you can replace carpet not kids...is that a sign from God I should build the club house.

Julie still says a tree house.......what ever, ask her about pinata's......that's another story....

I had lunch with Eric Clapton...and Julie :)

So Linda took the kids for the night. Ya all 5 all night. I haven't slept that good in years. We go to bed at 12:30 Sat night and wake up at 11:00. Opps missed church. My buddy calls me and says, "this is like the pot calling the kettle black, but we missed you at church." Even the pastor was looking for us. Than he found out we had the house to ourselved and said, "if anyone deserves to sleep in a one sunday morn....."

Anyway, Julie needs to work at 3 and I plan on making the best of the day. "Where you want to go to lunch." How about Olde Bag of Nails. Sounds great.

Ok here's a side note. I've known for a few years that Eric Clapton lives in the same town as me. PROOF, so to speak.

Another 2 side notes. As a nurse (maybe as a woman) Julie loves to leaf through smut magazines. She gets to see everyones current pictures. I NEVER reconize people. I'm always saying, don't we know that person?

We walk in and sit and Julie goes, "that's Eric Clapton." I say, "Yup sure is." If Julie wouldn't have said anything I never would have known. Either way she looks at him, he at her and you could see his face go, "crap there goes lunch."

Anyway, he was having a nice lunch, leave the guy alone. So we did. He was 20-25' from us, setting with his wife and 2 other couples. They looked like they were out riding Hogs and enjoying the day.

More power to you Eric, I know it's one of the reasons you moved to Central Ohio.
