Trains, K9 Friends & SILLY MOM TRICKS

Last Friday, April 27th was my Dad's 10th birthday 

(MOL well at least that is what he told me).

Anyways the peeps spent Friday afternoon in Apex, NC at a 

Live steam train thingy* (*a technical word I made up)

This is the back of our friend Mr. Joe.

He is giving my peeps a ride on his train

Mr. Joe's birthday was April 26!!

When they got home, Dad told  me how much fun he had.  Riding and driving Mr. Joe's train thingy. 

He also told me something really funny that happened to Mom.  

As you can see, I paid very close attention to Dad while he told me the funny story.

 WARNING when you see the words

FUNNY PART, be sure to swallow whatever foodables or liquids you have in your mouth.

Pictures to follow.  

It appears there were lots of woofies at the train thingy.  Of course mom took her flashy beast.

This is little guy looks just like my BFF Mr. Pip.  His peeps own the property where the train thingy was held.  He has his own special seat/cage so that he doesn't fall in the path of the GATOR.

 This fellow is Sam he is a veteran train pooch.
His owner said when the train is going forward Sam faces forward

 and when they back up Sam turns around.  Sam was kind enough to show Mom how he did it.

They think he might be part Rottie..look at is cute little Rottie tail

 OMD this is Sasha and her Dad, Mr. Lee, my Dad's buddy.

Dad has been to Mr. Lee and Sasha's house so Sasha knows Dad......

 and really likes him.  Mom's feelings were damaged because Sasha would hardly let Mom pet her.

She evidently likes men a lot.  Mr. Lee said she sticks to him like glue

 FUNNY PART

This is Mom FINALLY sitting in the engineer's seat;

Mr. Joe (on the right) is LOL

because as Mom was trying to straddle the seat

 She lost her balance,  missing the seat

landing smack on top of the coal tender.  This is a picture

of her tush print in the coal dust.  Dad said she made quite an

IMPRESSION MOL MOL MOL!!! My Dad is so funny

My mom's middle name IS NOT
GRACE!! 
And yes she had a black tush all afternoon and 

had to go to supper like that.   Good news is it all 
came out in the wash.

 TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE SIZE OF THE TRAINS  

MOM TOOK A PICTURE OF HER FEET AS SHE WAS RIDING 

While Dad was the engineer

He did a really good job.

 THE SHOW STARTED IN THE AFTERNOON ON  THURSDAY APRIL 26; HOWEVER THE DAY MOM AND DAD WENT APRIL 27th, WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

 HERE IS ONE OF THE PONDS ON THE 70 acre PROPERTY.

Mr. Joe giving Dad some engineer advice.

We don't know exactly how many miles of train tracks are on the property but Mr. Joe rode Mom and Dad around for nearly an hour.
DAD SAID IT WAS THE BEST B-DAY A GUY COULD HAVE!!

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

ALL ABOARD,

MADI AND MOM

MOM HERE:  WHILE MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS AT WAL-MART ON WEDNESDAY I OVERHEARD A CELL PHONE CONVERSATION A YOUNG MAN IN FRONT OF ME WAS HAVING.    EVIDENTLY HE WAS TRYING TO GET BACK IN GOOD
GRACES WITH A 'LOVED ONE'.  I NEARLY F(ell)O(n)T(he)F(loor)L(aughing)O(ut)L(oud) WHEN HE SAID, AND I QUOTE,

"I don't even know what HALLUCINATING means, how can I be doing it?!!
And to quote Jeff Foxworthy, "Here is your sign"!!
