The boys helped me read my cards.
I got a new Canon camera from my kids and their families. You will probably notice the difference in quality of the photos in future posts. Or, the photo quality issues may turn out to be operator-based.
I was out in the front of the house this evening and my neighbor Choochie saw me and came over to talk.
Choochie's real name is Jesus. In Mexico the nickname for guys named Jesus is Chewie, so I can only assume that Choochie is some sort of variation on that nickname.
Anyway, Choochie is about 75 and still works more than 40 hours a week as an accountant. He came over because he incorrectly thought that I used to work for Cox Cable. Why he thought that mystifies me. He wanted to complain to someone about his cable bill and to ask me about the DirecTV dish on our house.
That would have been fine with me, if he hadn't been wearing his boxer shorts, a shirt and his slip on shoes, with black socks. I had a hard time following his conversation because I kept wondering if he just forgot to put on his pants or what.

Apr 5, 2009
We had a family get-together today to celebrate my birthday. Mrs. Sneed pulled out all the stops to make sure that we had a feast fit for a king. Not that I'm comparing myself to a king. If others do, I can't help that.
The boys helped me read my cards.

Yay new camera!
But (sob!) no details on the feast?
You do look like King Akbar.
Happy belated Birthday ; )
Cheers!
Happy birthday to you! I always thought you photos were quite good with your old camera.
I love the informality of your neighborhood that people just wander around in their underwear.
Ahhh the Sneedlets are very god at helping to celebrate. Yes, what Megan said--details of the feast!
What a beautiful picture of you!
Those Sneedlets are excellent in every way - beautiful, sweet, and good readers, too? Wow!
Your neighbor obviously got so vexed about his bill that he did forget to put his pants on.
happy birthday, merle!
don't suppose we'll get to see your fashionable neighbor. that would probably be wrong.
Ha! Nan said what I was going to say -- you needed to use that new camera on your neighbor! :)
