My 1st Day @ the VA Lancaster Medical Center...this was my first appointment...

I showed up 1/2 Hour before my appointment time, as I have been instructed to do @ The Phila VA Medical Center. That will allow time for getting thru Security, finding a parking space, walking to the Building, and standing in line @ the kiosk behind the other guys to register for the appointment.

• Well...I find myself cruising thru the parking lot in front of the building pictured above & I continue right on out of there! That cannot be a VA Facility I say to myself...there were only 4 cars in the Lot!
• So...I stop next to a Pond with a guy w/ a chain saw converting a tree into Walt Whitman & call TJ...he tells me I am in the right location & the guy w/ the chain saw works for the Lanco Park Creators!@#$%^&*or something....

I took a deep breath, entered "The Clinic" @ 12:50PM & my blood pressure was high...

• To be continued...this may be a boring Post but, I think it is a lot more informative/interesting & entertaining than The Ed Show or The Rachel Maddow Show I was TRYING to watch...which induced me to do my own thing...

Things Guys would gladly have in their Kitchen...

This is a Photo of Ric Smits, a retired 45 y.o. Ex-Pacer. A pretty good player in his day. He is now married with kids & likes to ride Dirt Bikes! He has actually won awards in the sport...he is also 7'4" and weighs about 300lbs...

• The only thing his wife insists on is..."if you are going to park it in Kitchen you need to clean the Wheels!"

Photos...

We were at Jonathan's Baptism Celebration yesterday. He never opened his eyes...slept the whole time I was there.

• Got home today and realized "I never took a photo!"...and never asked anyone to take a photo of me & Jonathan for The Pea Blog...

A certain "brother-in-law" told me that he witnessed his family that own "Hi-tech" photo equipment standing around @ their Thanksgiving Fest taking Photos from their phones! He was told, "the phones are just as good"!

• I need to remember to bring my I-phone with me where ever I go...so I can "Put in Photos" what my day is all about! Won't that be swell?!?

P.S.   Jonathan? You need to allow your Uncle Gerry a "Photo Shoot"...OK?

The view from my Patio!

Maureen sat down here tonight and asked..."was the Patio included in the Rent?"

• she also told Timmy that he should Trim some of the bushes so Gerry would have a better view!

TJ said..."I'll get on that 1st thing in the morning Maureen..."

• kudos to Bill Zee for the photo

They need a Bigger Bench! But, the breakfast table fit all that were there...

...there are at least 4 or 5 Grandkids missing in these photos...

• I am planning a Saturday afternoon Movie Matinee for this Group...
• Popcorn & licorice, juicy fruits & Coke!

I need some Movie suggestions for a "Double Feature"!?!

It's my Blog! So I can Post photos of my Grankids & my Sick kid on this Thanksgiving weekend...

They were all sick in the beginning of the week (I could have posted Justin's projectile vomiting on the Flag Football field) from last Sunday...but they all look well at Uncle Ryan's house on Thursday...

• Meanwhile, Jason missed his Turkey Bowl today cause he has "The Bug"!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

My first I-phone photo taken on Thanksgiving Eve in Lancaster. I'm a little shakey

• Seven Pizza boxes in view...a Fully  Tapped Keg in "my apartment"...a Turkey in a plastic bag "marinating" or "brining" or something..250 plus T shirts & Sweat shirts being made in the garage...4 dogs roaming around...and I am being quizzed on the Grand-kids names! So far I have done well...
• Meanwhile, a tree branch fell on my car and I am now driving a rental!

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree...

Turkey Gobble Sounds

I think it would be neat if everybody had their Skype on...on Thanksgiving Day!

We did it last year with the Mitchell's at Christmas to their sister & mother in Florida & it was a real HOOT!

One of My Original Thanksgiving jokes was used on the Wednesday before the Holiday & I would say...

..."don't stay out too late today cause people are still looking for Turkeys!" Was I a riot or What?
