When you know you're far from home

My first reaction to the blog this morning: "who posted on our blog?" Oh--it was Steve... :) Welcome home honey! 3,400 miles and six days of torture (the miles relate to Steve's trip and the torture relates to me and two children and no sleep and no steve)

I agree 100% with above photo.

Mmk, wait, I don't, I think beer is gross.

But if it said, 'Vodka is good....'

That's a country song. I just heard it yesterday and actually listened to the lyrics. Look it up online! It's a good song.

It may be a good song, but it's a pretty funny billboard!

This old man and me
Were at the bar and we
Were havin’ us some beers and
Swappin’ I don’t cares
Talkin’ politics
Blonde and redhead chicks
Old dogs and new tricks and
Habits we ain’t kicked

We talked about Gods grace
And all the hell we raised
Then I heard the old man say,
“God is great, beer is good and People Are Crazy”

He said "I fought two wars,
Been married and divorced"
What brings you to Ohio?
He said "Damn if I know"
We talked an hour or two
About every girl we knew
What all we put ‘em through
Like two old boys will do

We pondered life and death
He light a cigarette
He said "These damn things will kill me yet,
But God is great, beer is good and people are crazy"

Last call its 2:00am
I said goodbye to him
I never talked to him again

Then one sunny day
I saw the old man’s face
Front page Obituary
He was a millionaire he
He left his fortune to me
Some guy he barely knew
His kids were mad as hell
Huh but me, I’m doing well
And I drop by today
To just say thanks and pray
And I left a six-pack right there on his grave
And I said God is great, beer is good and people are crazy

God is great, beer is good and people are crazy
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy

Thanks Wayne for the update. Unfortunately my time in cowboy country wasn't long enough to expose this country song. I thought it was something a little more home grown.

That sign reminds me of my time in Upstate NY there were so many cool signs around those parts and cool people that said the darndest things. I have to confess that some of them were so funny I started to keep a quote book of all the funny things I heard or saw. It comes in handy when I need a good laugh.
