This day in history

On this day, 40+ years ago.... a viking granny was born. Not in Denmark, as you might have always thought, but in Germany.
Let's all give her a round of applause.

(sound of clapping)

Happy Birthday, Eva! Don't go out with Terri and get wasted!

Ah, trash day. And maybe I will take Toby and go to town day...

jess said...

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Thank you thank you thank YOU!


I am taking a bow.

I was talking to my Steph on the phone when this new phone made a couple of weird noises that I did not recognize.

I forgot to charge it last night so I figured that it was out of juice.

When I checked my messages, I had missed TWO calls from my Aunt Ingeborg in DANMARK..!

DAD GUMMIT

So I hurried and called my mother and asked her to call Ingeborg back and tell her to call me on my house phone.

I hope she does.

What a kewl birthday gift. A call from her....I saved both the messages but they only save for 9 days.....hmm

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Daniel,
Are you making a tent out of the plastic?

beebow said...

That picture is of my sweet Taylor who just turned 1 on Tuesday. Debi and I took our granddaughters to lunch and to the park. It was so much fun.

Okay, back to work.

Josh said...

Hoooowwwdddddy!

Happy Birthday to VKG!!

VKG is one of those people that stays young at heart, always nice to be around.

Now, what are you doing with your several days off for your birthday week? Any big plans or just R&R?

Josh said...

I also thought sandbox on Daniel's project.

He could also be making a nuke fallout shelter.

Beth said...

happy birthday granny!!!!!!

you look younger every year.

i love you.


daniel. how 'bout a hammock?
a really unstable hammock

Beth said...

now i'm going for a walk; let me know if i won; then georgia will get extra tacos! 8)

Josh said...

Georgia will get one-half taco AND ONLY ONE-HALF TACO!!

Don't make me come to TX and enforce this myself!!

jess said...

danny baby
hows bout a hint?

Beth said...

i think you may have to josharoo.....but you may have some difficulty with taking the taco that i bought out of her mouth; i'm not sure who you think you ar exactly..........8)

Beth said...

daniel,
i think you're making a boat

Josh said...

I've got it!! He's stating a used hardware store and doesn't have money, so he has to borrow his first few items.

Never despise humble beginnings. You can do it Daniel, I believe in you!

Beth said...

use the wood to make the boat, the shovel for the mast and the plastic sheets for the sail
and i guess the duct tape holds it all together (might not want to go in very deep water)

maybe we need to know what form of wood we're dealing with here

Beth said...

where is daniel anyway????

i want to know if it's a boat

Beth said...

hi terri
way to go
thanks for joining the support georgia crew
8)

Josh said...

If taping a window, what wood the wood and shovel be fur?

Beth said...

well, i'm sticking with the boat for now, and now i have to go back to work. i hope i win. i hope i win.
8)
JOsh, i know you're a texan at heart, but still......i'm with terri on this one
8)

Josh said...

That’s it, I just booked my flight out tomorrow morning. I’ll be monitoring all JITB restaurants in the greater Conroe area for a month. Georgia will never get more than one-half taco.

I feel some anti-social behavior coming on!

Nate said...

sprechen sie deutsch? Ich spreche klein(e?) Ich nahm zwei Jahre des Deutschen in Gymnasium.

beebow said...

Daniel,
Are you making a homemade water slide?
...a parachute to jump off of the roof into the deep hole you are going to dig?
...covering plants to keep them from freezing in this cold weather?
...your car roof is leaking so you are going to tape the plastic to the top of it and then pile dirt on top to keep it from blowing in the wind as you drive down the road making a "spectackle" of your self

beebow said...

By jove, I think I've got it!
You are going to dig a very deep hole. When Josh flies in to Conroe, you are going to capture him, duct tape him up, throw him in the very deep hole, cover the hole with plastic (after putting in some breathing holes) and bop him on the head (gently) every time he tries to climb out! That way Georgia can have as many tacos as she wants!!!!

Josh said...

Beebow, how dare you suggest something so. . so vile. . .so cruel. . .. so. . . so creative.

I can see I'll need to buy a paintball gun and bring it with me to TX.

Watch out for Slap in the Face Man, Daniel, it can hurt.

Josh said...

Nor am I afraid of any “man” that has to put his head on another person’s body to look half decent.

Josh said...

Thank you Daniel, friend, I really truly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Oh wait, I think I’m gonna puke. . . .gotta go. Bye.

Nate said...

ooo...smaller teeth...or...A MOONBOUNCE!!!

Josh said...

Harvy- Yes, say at the theater and again recently at Shannon’s parents after they got the DVD. I really like it and it was sad on parts to.

Daniel- If Jim Carey, then when you said "Dumber than Dumb" did you mean "Dumb and Dumber"?

Mama PC said...

ok i have a guess

you're going to make flower beds, lining them with plastic sheets, taped together with duct tape...to keep the weeds out.... the shovel is to place new dirt into the beds...... the wood is the form borders.....

am i good, or WHAT!?!

Mama PC said...

the dumb part is that you had the idea to do this......and the dumber part is the fact you offered to do it for someone...

Josh said...

I'm not so sure about Jim Carey wanting a flower bed.

Anonymous said...

Daniel,

Are you making a small pond?

Or are you going to booby-trap your yard?

Mama PC said...

Who's Jim Carey? Does he attend CTK or Sanctuary???

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Today I had lunch with Sandy H, did the drivethrough bday parta with Priscilla, picked up copy of Mike Walsh preachin, held my favorite 2 3/4 month old and my favorite 6 year old. Got to cut 30 little nails, picked up diapers moved furniture to neighbors garage, and a meeting with my favorite Jan and Kathy.

Tomorrow, windsheild glass repair, new TDL, copy the rest of Danmark pics onto CD at Wally world, pic up a new white blouse, and get ready for Birthday womens retreat.......

Seems like I am forgetting something.

Josh said...

Oh MPC, you just showed you age. Jim Carey in an actor, although not one that I would promote or to who’s movies I would take my kids. . . or myself.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Jim Carey? Dumb and Dumber?

Bruce Almighty?

Jim Carey!

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Trueman, Riddler, Cable guy

Viking Granny!!!! said...

When he is not being CRUDE he is halarius......

Viking Granny!!!! said...

How now brown Cow Mama of many

Viking Granny!!!! said...

1000000

Mama PC said...

it's not my AGE that i'm showing.....

is he a movie actor, or one from t.v.??? i've steered away from movies cause the ones i saw years ago were getting grosser (long o)and grosser.....more perverted and sin-filled...... so, although i've truly heard of that J.Carey's name, i really don't know what he looks like... and i'm glad...(now i'm not perfect...my kids will tell you......but i'm trying to be careful of what i take in...) we need to be careful of what goes into our heads/hearts/spirits/homes......

Mama PC said...

HAPPY BDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BDAY VIKING GRANNY
HAPPY BDAY TO YOU!!!!!!

Viking Granny!!!! said...

In a nutshell, what is the question:?

Beth said...

granny
daniel has a shovel, plastic sheets, duct tape, and wood
what is he going to do with it?

Josh said...

Hints are:
1) Dumber than Dumber
2) If he were Jim Carey he would want one of these.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Flower beds........

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Baptismal pool like thingamajig

Mama PC said...

bloggo's..... i just got a prayer request from Jere Peterson - about Mere ...... they're worried about her and he's gonna take her to the hospital for a check...... please start praying for her...... and him.......


they don't have medical insurance, so need a miracle.....

Josh said...

Hey MPC, any details you can share?

Mama PC said...

she's concerned about the condition she's had for a while... and has some symptoms that cannot be ignored... headaches/earpain/swelling side of head.....a few other symptoms. jere sounded very nervous, and he said she was as well...... so, i encouraged them to go ahead and get it checked out,

no matter what the source of the problem is...it needs to be checked out... it may just be a simple sinus or ear infection... but we cannot know that at this time.....

May the Lord strengthen them and heal her! Lord, we don't understand all of your ways, but we know you want healing for your children. Lord, cause the doctors to come to see what is going on very soon, with the least expense and problem...and Lord, will you make a way that the cost will be minimal? We trust in YOU and in the hands of those you have gifted in the field of medicine. Lord, may no unneccesary thing touch our sister and may no harm come to her, in Your precious son's Name.... Thank You Lord for your Care and Mercies......

Josh said...

I just talked to Meredith. She’s been having some weird feelings on the side of her head the last couple days. It could be related to some things that they need to get checked out. Just pray for healing!

Also, it shouldn’t be talked about too much. They don’t want my and Jere’s parents, or her parents knowing about it. They don’t have medical insurance, and both sets of parents have given them grief over it.

Just pray for healing, that the most important thing.

Josh said...

I'm outta here. Jeremy should be calling me when they know something, and I'll relay it.

Blessings!

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Father God reveal the truth to the doctors and give them wisdom DADDY.

Father I pray for total health from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet.

Praise you DADDY Johovah Rapha
\
Amen.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

God knows I can't spell anymore, and Mere is going to be ok.

I will let you know what Sheila and John think as soon as I get off the phone with them.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Shunts are nothing to mess around with, and it is wisdom to get it checked on asap......

I will continue to pray until I hear or read the good report.

Love ya'll

Just kiddin bout my phone call, thought you could use a laugh.

Mama PC said...

VKG! You're terrible!!!

Don't joke about things like that!!! I thought you hadn't read the part about not telling... and were going to call..etc. you had me worried!

I just spoke with Mere and she sounds good, they're on their way to Woodlands..... Papa John just left Conroe Hospital where he had looked for them in the ER.

Mama PC said...

Daniel! What was the creation? contraption?

plastic sheets duck tape shovel wood

hmmm.....

ok, sheets - for a bed... plastic for those who wet the bed....... tape to keep the sheets down when sleepers snore...plus plastic sheets might have a propensity to slip and slide off the mattresses..... hmmm... the wood would be for the frame of the bed...and for the mattress slats....... but, you didn't mention a mattress...... shovel..... i guess to konk the snorers over the head with on an hourly basis..... oh.....and the duck - pluck the feathers off the duck to create a mattress!!! and pillows!!!

ok...... i'm done and outta here. will check on you bloggos Friday or Saturday!

Love and hugs and prayers and believing that GOD WILL MAKE A WAY WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY.....

Josh said...

Just letting you know I haven’t heard from Jeremy yet.

Josh said...

In other news, we just got to see a very adorable 3 day old baby girl named Sherra (Shear-a). She was just born Monday morning and still had a red face. Cute little LONG fingers. She yawned once and squeaked a couple times and sounded very cute!! They rubbed the baby on Shannon’s big belly for good blessing.

Josh said...

Thanks for the update Servant!!

I think we have to wait till tomorrow to find out about Danny boy’s contraption. He usually doesn’t get on in the evenings.

Josh said...

VKG- That comment about the phone call spiked my blood pressure. I was reaching for my phone to call you before I could even scroll down to see your next comment that you were joking. I think they will have the same reaction when reading the blog later. You might consider deleting it.

Josh said...

Just got a text message from Jere:

“We are still waiting. No verdict yet. Everything is going good. Love you both”

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Praise GOD........good report.

Better safe than sorry.

Nite all....

Hey Josharooni, I didn't realize that your folks were spectators on the blog........sorry charlie

Viking Granny!!!! said...

I wont delete it, cuz its funny. If they are going to read everyone elses comments about NOT calling them, then they will see the humor in me pretending to call them.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Hey Josh! Glad I could get your blood to circulating again.

I love you.

Josh said...

Mere just called. They’re out of the hospital and on the way to CVS to get the prescriptions filled (antibiotic and pain reliever). They’re glad to have peace of mind.

VKG- As far as I know my folks don’t read the blog. I meant Jere & Mere might get scared when they read it. Anywho, thanks for the extra heart palpitations!


Good night all!

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Josharooni,


Rapid blood circulation has been known to increase the bodys ability to fight infection. It has also been known to promote healing.

I was only thinking of Meredith. I can be such a nice guy sometimes I even amaze myself.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Just so the entire world knows, we are only the same age for a couple of very short months and then YOU will be so much older than me once again!

Viking Granny!!!! said...

After all that hardy partying, I am surprised that you are already up and moving Bo Berry!

YOu must have remembered to take your Geritall before crashing in the weeee hours of the marnin!
