HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACK!

Guess who turned 18 today?  My second oldest son, Zachary, is now an adult.  Well, at least age wise.  He's been paying adult fare to movies and attractions since he was 15.  Now its just official.  All we need is to get him a job and he can start paying his own way!  And then he can get a wife, move out and start handing over the grandbabies!  Okay, it may be a little early for that... for now...

Zack has inherited my gift for art but has been cursed with my sarcastic sence of humor.  Fortunately he has inherited his intelligence from somewhere else in the gene pool.  I'm sure Dickidoo will take credit for that.   I see great things in Zack's future, and I believe that he will achieve what ever he puts his mind to, I just need him to pull his mind away from the tv and computer so he can find this great place to put it.  Heck, who knows, maybe his future IS with computers.  Look at Bill Gates, I'll bet his family worried about him once upon a time but not any more!

So anyhow, we celebrated over a meal of home cooked bbq ribs, potato salad and corn on the cob and a lucious chocolate cake (store bought, but the girls decorated it).  I thought I had everything under control until we were setting the table and realized that we had no napkins.  I didn't even have paper towels!  Now everyone knows that you can't eat ribs without a stack of napkins, so I improvised... I pulled out a stack of my Bunn-Omatic Brew-Omatic coffee filters!  Folks, you may laugh, but they worked like a charm!  This wasn't the first time I've used my hillbilly napkins.  They make great make-shift plates, they work great in the microwave  and don't leave streaks when you clean windows with them. 

Happy Birthday Zack.  I guess I can't call you 'Zacky-Zack' any more.  Awwwww, heck, sure I can!  You may be taller than me, but I'm still your mama!  Happy Birthday Zacky-Zack!
