Complaint Department

I'd like to lodge a complaint!
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE POLITICAL ADS ON TV.

It's so irritating, and never ending. What a shame. A pox upon their houses.

I  know they will be over soon but spending over $100 million on political ads in one state for a Senatorial seat is almost criminal.

As of next week we can get back to our regular commercials. No,  I guess that's not going to happen.... It's time to crank up the wine, jewelry and perfume commercials for THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!

My love to all.            DadPatt

There is a funeral today

One of our church members, the sweetest little Grandma, passed away this week. As it always does, causes me to pause and contemplate the vastness of the universe. To marvel at the reason and purpose of our being.

It's good to know where we  came from, why we are here and where we are going. It's comforting to have the promise of resurrection and salvation along with the knowledge of how it works.

I promise that not only myself and my family, but everyone, along with all the sweet little Grandma's and their families, will be resurrected through the power of the Savior Jesus Christ. They will come forth on the morning of the first resurrection, body and Spirit reunited. Made whole and perfected! Rest in Peace.

Love to you all.      DadPatt

The way things ought to be

Did you ever notice that very rarely does an organization achieve, or even attempt to attain, a level of performance anywhere near a decent standard
A good training program or a well designed inventory system are too often ruined or dragged down to a sub-par level by allowing people to create "exceptions" to the rule.
The norm is dragged down to the level of the operator rather than the standards lifting up the whole group or organization.
C"mon man! When you allow individuals to lower your individual or business  standards you give them the power and control. Don't do it!
Love to you all.  DadPatt

Friends

Friend, hard to find. Precious as gold. If you don't have any your are missing one  of life's greatest gifts.
Always remember, the expense related to having someone cherished as your friend,  is the time you must invest in others.
Really appreciated, strong and consistent relationships are based on a mutual respect. You cannot force it. Look for the chemistry, enjoy, relax. Offer your time,  be positive and totally honest!
OMG....... I've described a marriage. My marriage. Yes,  she is precious as gold. Celebrating 39 years this Saturday. I'm grateful. Thanks precious friend.

The morning after

Well I slept on it,  I think I'll give it a try. It's a little easier now that I'll be using my android. Having it with me should expand my opportunities to put my thoughts on post.
If anybody is watching I will have to give my disclaimer right up front  - I'm not into blogging to make it an income stream or a technical masterpiece.  I only hope to share my life as a father, husband,  brother and son. My life experiences will also undoubtedly include the role of friend.
May you all have a wonderful day. Let's  talk again soon...
Love to you all,  DADPATT

What a surprise!!!

Guess what I found.... A blog I started back in 2009! It pointed out to me that Google knows, and keep all. We are not alone. Many changes in my life since 2009....birth of four grandchildren, my retirement and the diagnosis of Parkinson disease. Well let me get my thoughts together and see if I can commit a reasonable and consistent dedication to this endeavor. Till then. Love you all, DadPatt
