This week’s Monday
Listicles topic was chosen by Kim Pugliano from “The G is Silent”. Kim and her family had
an extra special Father’s Day this year with the addition of “The Newest Silent G” and because of
that, she asked everyone to celebrate their father, step-father, brother, significant other or any important man in their life.
Decisions, decisions. So instead I decided to celebrate not one but five men in my life.
My Dad:
- He was a man of few words. We still talk about the time he was asked at a family dinner “What kind of cake is that?” to which he answered “Good cake!” LOL!
- I have been told I am my father’s daughter…best compliment EVER!
G:
- Father to three handsome (in my eyes), caring young men who obviously took after their mothers. ;P
- We have been married for 21 years. He is retired. So am I (kinda).
I'll stop there.
- Aspiring musician. We are hoping he makes it big so he can support his aging parents. I think I'll go along for that ride too! Tee hee.
- Upon first meeting J1, I became suspicious that "human cloning" might possibly be happening.
J2:
- Ahhh the miracle of childbirth...my first born. If
hewe make it through the teen years, it would indeed be a miracle. - Further evidence that "human cloning" had begun.
Riley:
- Main character in "Our Adventures with Riley". His unique ways of looking at the world was the inspiration for this blog.
- "Human cloning" stopped here.
Congratulations to you and your family Kim!!!
This was so great to read. It's great putting faces to all of the names! Gorgeous men, i must say!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhonda!
DeleteShort and sweet this week. I'm not so much sentimental as I am sarcastic. HA! Like you, I use humour as a coping mechanism. =D
Have a great week!

Oh! You do have some wonderful men in your life! Your father sounds just lovely. Nothing like a sense of humor! And I'm also waiting on one or both of my sons to "make it big" so I can live in the manner to which I would like to become accustomed. hehe
ReplyDeleteHaaa...I wish our sons would hurry up! I'm not getting any younger. ;P
DeleteThanks Terri!
Diane
I love how you went through and hit all the major "guys" in your life! Looks like a perfect family to me!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any brothers so living in a houseful of males is a real eye-opener. Thankfully 5 divides into 10 quite nicely too. Tee hee.
DeleteYou are surrounded by cool men--congrats on a happy family and a wonderful list:)
ReplyDeleteToo bad at least one of them wasn't in uniform. ;P
DeleteThanks Jennifer!
You are surrounded by wonderful and handsome men. As you should be!
ReplyDeleteAre teen years really that exciting?
Thanks Stasha!
DeleteThankfully the boys have not caused us too much "excitement" in the negative sense. It is more the "tone" (aka attitude) that can extremely trying! Doesn't help that I'm menopausal and both G & I are just getting old and cranky. LOL!!!
I'm sure it will NEVER happen to Little J. ;P
Diane
love this and the pictures are great too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robbie! Hope everyone's settling in at your place.
DeleteDiane
Great pics of your men! You've made me wonder what my boys will be like when they grow up. They're only 6 and 8 now. I'm dreading that teen attitude phase!
ReplyDeleteYou never know and think of it like childbirth...once it's over and done you forget about all the pain. Haaahaaa!
Deletesuch a wonderful post....and such handsome men!
ReplyDeleteIt took me 3 tries to get an offspring that actually looked like me. I did all the hard work...how's that fair? :)
SO NOT FAIR!!! All the boys have the "mannerisms" of their dad which make people "think" they look like him. How can they all look like them him when two of them are half-Japanese??? That's what I wanna know!!! :D
DeleteYou sure are surrounded by men! I bet it helps to keep your sense of humor. :)
ReplyDeleteThe only way to survive with my crew. LOL!
DeleteWhat wonderful men you have in your life!
ReplyDeleteEeep...they really are all "men" now aren't they??? Scary thought.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Katie!
