Cramps and Anniversary's

Happy Anniversary on the 16th Dad and Janis! Congratulations on a great 6 years together. I have some fun stories of Dad and I before he met Janis after I tell you all how I feel today.

Do I really need to write anything else? I think "lites, Regular, Super, and Super plus" sum up how I feel today. I guess I can't complain since it has only happened 5 times since 2006, I think I need my DEPO Shot back!
All of this reminds me of my sleep over with Lee. Yes that is right Lee AKA Dad and I had a sleepover up camping around 7 years ago. We use to go camping around the 1st of August for Dad's birthday and no one was able to stay the night except Sole (our dog 'sounds like sully') Brian, Dad, and myself. Brian had to leave around 4 AM so that just left me and Dad.
Dad needed to go to the store during the day and asked if I needed anything. You know how it goes, if you plan a camping trip or any other vacation Aunt Flow has to show up and ruin everything. Well I was too embarrassed to ask Lee if he would pick me up some "tampons" (just saying the word gives me chills) so I asked if I could come along. Brian couldn't figure out why I want to go and kept saying just give dad a list and stay here with the family. Finally I broke down and told them what I needed at the store. Dad said, "I have been married, I can get that for you." I told him I just needed some 'tampons' nothing else. He said, "well do you want scented, lites, regular, super, super plus, with applicator, without applicator...." Way to go Dad. So smart, I laughed and laughed. He obviously had experience in that department. He must of been one of those husbands who stands helplessly in isle 14 looking with that deer in the headlights stare, at a wall of feminine hygiene product, thinking "I needed more instructions on what to get." BTW he did great!
Dad and Janis I really need to get some other pictures of you, I don't have much of a selection.
This reminds me of another story that happened the next morning after everyone had left. Dad and I went fishing. I love fishing but it had been some time since I had gone. Dad put a lure on my line and I took a couple casts out into tea pot (I think it was tea pot lake.) There were fishermen in float tubes out on the water, Dad and I joked "I bet I can hit that guy out in the float tube." I reached back and then launched my line forward. It was a beautiful cast, much better than my other pathetic 15 feet casts this one was going going gone. Well not exactly gone, I got the guy in the float tube. Yes that is right it actually hit his float tube and he picked up my lure and tossed it into the water. Dad and I couldn't stop laughing, it was a great day.

what a good guy!!
What a brave guy, most start to hyperventilate when you even mention the words 'feminine hygiene.' Who says feminine hygiene anyway?
