Today I met one of the nicest , sweetest,well mannered huggable young man ! Matthew.., Jiffy's son.
OMG I could just adopt him this very minute!!
I got a call From Jimmy at work letting me know he had Matthew with him. Oh Man did I bust my behind getting out of work!! 2 hours later Jimmy and Matthew are at my house..

Matthew met me with a hug & I gave him two hugs one for him and one for Jiffy !
He made his self right at home, typical of guys his age he spied the lemon pound cake on the counter,, I pulled out some glazed strawberries, and told him to get as much as he wanted
with that he got a big glass of rasberry lemonade.

AHHHH then he spotted the wines

then Jiffy calls and we're talking via speaker phone It sure was good to hear your voice Jiffy!!!

we chatted and goofed around for a while,, Matthew decided he was going to be the "Thinker"


and I was thinking I'd better get dinner started and Matthew jumps right in to help!
I was going to make burritos tonight anyway even tho they had already eaten at a mexican resturant earlier today..


Time got away from us sooo quickly It was time for them to go I loaded Matthew up with 2 BIG BOY burritos, 4 slices of cake and a few little surprises for Jiffy, IF it makes it to you! LOL

Diane! Thank you so much for those pictures!
Matthew sure has changed a lot since I met him last summer.
I almost had him talked into moving to Kentucky!


Yep! You can tell he has a good mama!

Soo We loaded him up and I mean he loaded up!!


We got our "see Ya later hugs"

Jiffy I tried my best to find a way to get this pitcher plant on the Bus with Matthew,, But it looks like Jimmy will take care of it for you,,Oh and he so sooo loving that!!




Well He off to you Mom and believe me when I say He is welcome here any time!! And Next time You have to come with!!!!

Angel I felt your appriciation for Jiffy's son when I read your words. How wonderful he came to see you and Jimmy. I love the pictures!

Yep he just oooozzes of goodness

This looks like a good place to post the picture that Jimmy sent me today...of Matthew and Luci.

Matthew was talking about Luci tonight and how big she was he said her tail wrapped around his back and down his leg WOW!

Oh my goodness, I have tears of joy at these pics. I am so glad that Matthew got to meet both of you and had such a good time with you. Praying he makes it home safe and sound. Please let us know Jiffy.

Ok Here is what photo's I took today minus one Diane ask i don't post. I see nothing wrong with it but will always honor a request.
First off I took Mathew to meet Mine and Billies dearest friends in the world. Lloyd on left Mathew on middle Me on right.Lloyd and I are as close as any brothers.

Sharon has a stiff leg rode 22 hour's on bus to come see Billie in Hospital week before she passed away went back to Phoenix had a bypass as soon as she got back they were like sister's
Sharon and her dogs Precious and Pepe

Took Mathew by my playground Lonestar Park of course the ponies are not running now. Took him to Dealey Plaza and the Texas School book Depository could not find anywhere to park within walking distance.
Looks like Mathew has Diane in head lock here.

Hugs all around.

Laying his head on Daine's shoulder

BOARD!!!! Mathew going out to bus headed to Atlanta and Savanah Come again Mathew enjoyed having you you are welcome here anytime. Jiffy wish you and Scott could have been here also we would have thrown a party at Diane's. Got several calls from Miss Kate asking me questions and giving me info. Next time dear give me the right name . From what I can tell this is one supper family.

This topic and all the pictures makes me so happy!

It's so neat that our Garden Helper Family is so close when we need them. Looks like no matter how far we are away from home, we will have family close by.

Thank you, Diane and Jimmy

thats so wonderful to see!

Hey,Jiffy.....Kareena says'He's cute!"


He is a very handsome young man

tell kareena, he'll be available soon, cheap!

When is he due home?

His only major lay over for a little over an hour is in Atlanta. Other then that just fuel stops and to change drivers. I was going to get him on the bus here at 8:30 until they told me he would have over an hour layover in Dallas. 15 miles no way so we went to Whataburger his choice since they don't have them in Ga. earlier in the day we went to a Chipotle resturant and we each got a chicken n beef Fajita Burrito beleive me when I say one is all you can eat. I can eat two doublemeat double cheeze burgers with fries and all the trimmings I can only eat one of these the cost sure cheap compared to the quality of food you get. Like I said we each barely got them down. Then Diane called and said dinner was on could not eat as yet. But did eat her burritos she fixed later umm umm good. Anyway to make a short story long we just goofed off til bus time then drove downtown Dallas which he had not seen at night (guess I take things for granted) he seemed to enjoy the lights. Waited with him then put him on that ol Greydog east bound. to answer you question Triss sometime late tonight. Told you I was making a short story long. Just could not see him spending an hour laid over in Dallas 15 miles from where he got on the bus . Makes no sense to me.

Thanks Jimmy, plus that was one more hour you got to spend with him!
