8/15/2012 HAPPY 80TH RICKTODAY I SPENT THE DAY WITH MY OLDEST SON, 7/30/64 AND HIS WIFE JESSICA,
WHO I THINK WAS BORN IN 1965, IQ OVER 160, ADDING GREATLY TO TH GENE POOL
AND MY GRANDSON LEVI EMERSON MILLER BORN MAY SOMETHING 2011.
THEY LIVE ABOUT AN HOUSR A WAY. BECAUSE OF MY ACCDIDENT A MONTH AGO,
ROSS PICKED ME UP AND OF C0URSE DROVE ME HOME THAT NIGHT.
LEVI WAS SLEEPING SO THE GROWN UPS COULD TALK ABOUT HIM.
HE GOT UP AND I WAS EATING APPLE CINNIMON SRICE CAKES. HE CAME OVER AND
WANTS ONE FOR EACH HAND. HE THEN SAT DOWN NEXT TO ME WITH HIS LEGS
SPREAD FOR BALANCE JUST LIKE ZEDA. I CRIED SATHE OTHERT DAY WHEN I
LISTENED
TO NESSAN DORMA SUNG BY JAN PEARCE
1FnHOE
AND I CRIED WHEN I WATCHED LEVI MIMICING ME. DIFFERENT KIND OF CRYING
EVERY SO OFTEN I LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF MY GRANDFATHER AND MY
GRANDMOTHER SHE FROM SOMKE COUNTRY THAT I DON'T THINK EXISTS AND HE
FROM RUSSA ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD AND ALONE WITH A RELATIVE WAITING TO PICK
HIM UP IF HE CLEARED ELLIS ISLAND HEALATH SCREENING. BY THE TIME HE WAS
25 HE WAS A CARPENTER AND AN EMERTICAN CITIZEN AND SPOKE ENGLISH YIDDISH
AT THE SAME TIME. HE SMOKED CIGARS, BUT I NEVER SAW HIM START A NEW ONE.
EVERY MORNING HE WOULD LIGHT THE SAME STUB ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG, HALF ASH
AND HALF CHEWED., HIS EYES AND MY EYES AND ROSS'S EYES, EXCEPT WHEN HE
SOFTENS THEM AND LEVI'S EYES WHICH HAVEN'T BEEN AFFECTED BY THE WORLD,
ARE ALWAYS SOFT, BUT WILL WHEN HE NEEDS TO LATER ALL SHOW THE SAME THING,
"I WILL,"
BRADLEY IS A GENTLER SOUL AND HAS SOFTER EYES, BUT HE TOO "WILL" AND
ALWAYS HAS.
I ALWAYS COOK SUPPER WHEN I VISIT. TODAY WAS A FARM STYLE BREAKFAST FOR
DINER. WHEN I WAS A KID MY FAMILIES VACATION WOULD ALWAY INCLUDE STOPPING
FOR THE NIGHT AT WHAT WAS A BED AND BREAKFAST WHEN THEY PULLED INTO A
TOWN THEY WOULD FIND THE ADDS ROOM F0RTHE NIGHT INCLUDING BREAKFAST.
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRIP, WHERE WE WENT, BUT ONE NIGHT
WE STOPPED AT A FARM. BREAKFAST WAS AT 7 OR 8. I REMEMBSER THIS YOUNG
GIRL CARRYING TO PAILS AND HAVE ALWAS ASSUMED SHE GOT UP EARLY TO MILK
THE COWS, THIS WAS MID TO LATE 30'S. WHEN WE SAT DOWN THERE WERE PLATES
PIOLED HIG WITH DIFFERENT MEATS, FRIED EGGS FRFUIT AND PITCHERS OF MILK.
TONIGHT I COOKED THE BEST BACN EVER FROM COSTCO. PRE COOKED, MICROED
FOR ONE MINUTE AND IT WAS GONE BEFORE GOT ANYTHING ELSE DONE, AS I
PLANNED. IT CRISPS QUICKL67 AND LEVI WAS ENJOYING EATING WITH HIS FINGE4RS
LIKE EVERTY ONE ELSE.
I COOKED EGGS SCRAMBLED WITH CHEDDER. EASY FOR JESSICA, IN MY OWN
CIRCULON FRY PAN AND SERVED IT WITH THYE LEFT OVER CHEESE BISCUITES
AND PRETZAL ROLLS FROM COSTCA ANDE BRIE CHEEZE AND SMOKED PROVELONE.
WHEN LEVI GOT FUSSY ABOUT 7:30 HE WENT TO BED, AND ROSS DROVE US HOME.
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
