Family Reunion and Mullets
HeyOK
Geesh... (new word for Amber :) - ) I’ve uploaded 1600 photos to Flickr... what the hell were they? Thinking most of them are flowers --- smile.
Here’s the new ones and a story:
Last weekend Julia and I are heading North for my family reunion. She’s met most of these folks briefly before yet the tension is real and appropriate. Meeting the FAMILY.
I’m babbling about whether I should surprise twelve folks with the knowledge that their name and address has been used fraudulently. Julia is playing an EXPERT devils advocate. She’s really, really, really, really, really good at that. Let’s you know you are heard and then WHAM – have you thought about this??? (Side note – if you don’t want another legimate perspective then don't bring up the conversation.)
Aside from her bountiful beauty and humor that’s another thing I love about her.!
We saw a sign on the way that cracks us up and vow to take a pic on the way back.
We didn’t know then that after the fun and festivities. ALL Aunts and Uncles stating they’d like to retire yet can’t afford healthcare – does that mean something’s wrong with the system or just with my family???
Drinking, skiing, tubing, eating, laughing around the fire...
After all this we were driving Grandma home.
My Grandma absolutely rocks BTW. Funny, been there done that attitude, says she’s ready to “be done” yet will keep on keeping on while she’s still here. She knows what’s up and can crack a joke in a conversation.
So when we said we needed to stop and take a pic of a sign she said great there’s a Dairy Queen across the street I’ll pay for the treat. I haven’t had cup of Corn Syrup in a while so I was all for it.
Anyway here’s the great bit of advertising & the establishment that cracked us up. If you’re wearing a mullet we’ll cut it off for free. If you want your head shaved/or another haircut it’ll be five bucks or more. Fuzzy pics... I've lost my touch in transfering from a phone.

Free Mullet Removal!! omg, thanks for the laugh. I love it.
HIlarious!
And more, I loved your story abou tyour grandma and the whole trip. Such fun!
thanks for taking us along for a moment. ;)
that's very, very funny! your Julia sounds really special… you are both so blessed!
Thanks David! I needed a new word, badly! I'm going to need to use it right away!
Geesh… I used to love a man who wore a mullet before I knew what a mullet was and how badly society looks down on them! I just adore longer hair on men… didn't know there's a rule about the sides not being short if you have length in the back! ~grin~
When his son went from 12 to 18 in 6 short years his daddy found out about mullets and what his son thought of them and that was the last of the long hair! His son wore the flipped up George Clooney bangs and I really don't care for that look any more then most people care for a mullet! Hee! You see why I needed to use the word Geesh?!
Smiles!
Amber
I'm with Amber on this one - love long hair on men, hate the flipped up bangs look! However, I always thought mullets were strange looking and anyone who still has one definitely deserves to have it removed for free - it's like a public service! Thanks again dear David for the smiles! (P.S. I think Julia sounds wonderful!!!)
Hi all…
That sign really cracked me up… thanks for sharing the humor. I always wanted/planned to grow my hair out long when I no longer needed a “military cut”. Hmmm… I've realized slowly that's not gonna happen as there's less and less of it to grow out… lol.
BTW - I coped Geesh from Amber first. I think she was using it sometime in this timeframe so it's understandable she forgot it. LOL. So glad your recovered/ing.
Blessings, David
