Kinda Got My Head In The Clouds, For Now
« on: November 16, 2016, 09:53:32 AM »


      As some of you know, I lost my Wife of 38 1/2yrs, back on July 1, 2009 and After awhile I managed to Remarry. And on June 12, 2012, I married Michelle. Well Michelle has 2 kids and just recently, as things turned out, we were able for me to apply for adoption of the kids. Today was Court Day and the Judge ruled that the Adoption was APPROVED! So now, we ALL will be carrying the same last name of Van Pelt! Never dreamed things would take THIS turn, But Happy they Did! Sorry, just had to share.  ;)

          Thanks Buddy, I appreciate that. And, yes, you are right about that, they have also adopted me. Helps to bring us even closer together.  ;)

           Thanks Kev, I appreciate that. Sure Never expected that this would be possible. I guess the Judge could see that we were just meant to be all one Happy Family. I am glad, I take that very seriously. Thanks again.  ;)

           LOL, Yeah, ain't life grand?  And I assume you are an "A-Team Fan" as well?

          Hannibal Smith (George Peppard) used to always say "I Love It When A Plan Comes Together", at the end of the show. Yeah, I watched all of those shows. Not that much on the movie though. Not the same.  ;)  Thanks, much appreciated.  8)

            Thank you, Bobby, Sure feels good to have accomplished this. I can't take the credit though, Michelle did all of the "Leg Work". We were doing well, but I actually can feel more of a "Closeness" and that is cool enough.  8) ;)
