Granpappy's Thoughts: Barbers and Barbershops

http://granpappy31.blogspot.com/2015/06/barbers-and-barbershops.html

Monday, June 08, 2015. It may have started when that first person rid me of my golden locks, but I don’t relish going to the barbershop for a haircut. Over the years, I’ve visited many shops, some of which earned return visits. However, my quest has finally ended here at Westminster Village with my own personal barber, my wife Shirley. And no appointment needed! I have a personal barber, too. Me. One advantage is I have a strict No Tipping rule. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Granpappy's Thoughts: Being a Cowboy

http://granpappy31.blogspot.com/2015/06/being-cowboy.html

Friday, June 26, 2015. 8220; Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoof-beats of the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again! Then in 1939, the cowboy gods smiled down on us. Uncle Henry, Mom's younger brother, sent a package for Fred (my brother) and me from Tucson, Arizona, that contained cowboy vests, cowboy chaps and two gun and holster sets. Shazam! I was a real, live cowboy! Well, not quite. Any applause? Well, a few polite claps.

Friday, November 14, 2014. Art Display and Sale. Friday, November 07, 2014. It's been a while since my last post. I've been busy writing articles for our newsletter,. You can view the current issue at www.wnvaz.com. Click on RESIDENTS and go to the newsletter page. Our 10th great grandchild, Nolan, was born in August and I'm still working on a couple of pieces of art for him. Shirley crocheted a blanket, which he already has. I hope the art gets there before he becomes a teen-ager. Have a good evening.

Granpappy's Thoughts: October 2013

Saturday, October 19, 2013. One is Not Enough. I've been reading a lot of P. G. Wodehouse's books lately. I like his type of humor. One thing I've noticed is that he seems to feel that three or four are better than one, whether it's adjectives, paragraphs or sub-plots. Try one of his "Jeeves" books. You might get hooked, too. Monday, October 07, 2013. I decided to write my memoirs. Should be easy, right? Friday, October 04, 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). One is Not Enough. View my complete profile.
