hope we've heard the last...

Of Ernest T. Bass!

(No, that's not Tami trying to breakin in...

she has a key..LOL)

Barney...we have an infraction!

You better get that one Mayberry bullet out here real fast!

(actual security shots of the second Break in attempt)

Hey by now you've probably figure out that something's been up...

This is the longest time I've ever gone without checking into

Papajohn's Place...

We had one breakin last week at the radio station and two more attempts within days of each other...

It was a tiring and WILD week...

The good news is the police think they have our man and he is temporarily

off the streets...

That gives us enough time to replace two or three windows,

add more cameras,

more lighting and a few other things...

In just 90 seconds start- to -finish this thief broke in

and took a laptop, 2 cd players, a digital camera, a backpack

and a coat... and then was out of here.

It was all very quick.

That's why Jesus uses the thief as the example

when He warns us to be ready for HIS return...

He himself told us He will come quickly....as a thief in the night...

and we'll be out of here...

Don't pinch me...I'm wearing green!

MAMA....

L-O-O-K-E-E...

papa john just got his W-I-S-D-U-M-B tooth!

Thanks, Josh!

Happy

Saint

Patrick's

Day!

Verne's party...the day the music died

The day we all waited for... Bro. Verne's birthday at Fudd's...

everything just right...

Our birthday boy was the center of attention...

At least it started that way!

We need to pause right now and bring you newer blog viewers up to speed on the party S-O-P (STANDARD OVERATING PROCEEDURE)

So... join uncle Wally...close your eyes...

And flash back with us to the fall of 2006...

It was at a staff meeting...

Wally introduced us to his I-B-S routine...

Out of the clear blue Wally invited us to all join him in singing "Itsey-Bitsey-Spider" complete with all the hand motions... ("Itsey-bitsey-spider went up the water spout" and all that ... )

You probably know the song.

And as you may have heard... the routine was really cool...the whole thing really caught on big time!

We even heard rumors that Wally was even going to do his I-B-S routine on "America's Got Talent" but Diane discouraged him ..."Wally , what if you

mess up bigtime and forget the words!"

(Don't worry Diane...there's always "Not as smart as a 5th grader" to fall back on...)

Now you've got the background...

You now understand why Verne asked ..."Wally will you get things rolling with your highly entertaining I-B-S routine?"

Poor Wally he tried... but everyone could see he was embarassed by his lip zit that had just popped up out of nowhere...

so Verne quickly asked wife Paula to take over...

Only thing... it might have gone a little quicker Verne if you'd warned Paula to be a little more I-B-S prepared...

"Now Wally...Do I roll the fingers over-under or under-over? "

"Like this...

over-under...

one finger at a time...

and accent the first syllable of each work..."

"And be sure to keep a one inch clearance between fingers at all times to comply with the fire code" ...Tami was explaining...

when Wally suddenly pointed up to the tv... "Look at that!"

(Apparently startled Verne's baby also...lol)

Darren then looked up at the other tv and said..."Yeh... they're talking about Tami on this one, too."

"Just because she is eating a cookie ?" We ask?

"NO ... because of her cookie business at work..." darren comments...

"Ever notice that Tami's Girl Scout Cookie prices tend to fluctuate

with the price of gas!" LOL

Obviously the heat and embarassment was building for Tami...

So quick thinking Wally to the rescue!

(I Couldn't believe my eyes!)

Wally nervously whips out a half-sized harmonica out of his shirt pocket... and lets it rip!

Wally began belting out a verse of "She'll be coming around the Mountain when she comes..."

and the whole place went wild!

Our hands were a clapping and our happy knees were shaking the table ...

BUT Poor Wally...

by the time he hit verse three , he got a real case of "Happy Knees"

and spilled Tami's water all over her and everything between...

THE MUSIC DIED!

And the clean-up began! LOL!

Thankfully Bailey had the Hill Family Puppets ready to take to the stage in a moments notice... (Dad is the short one with all the hair gel...)

just G-R-E-A-T ... brought dad to laughing tears...

a fit ending for a great party!

Ok... Verne... this was supposed to be your birthday... your party... all about you...

and everybody else stole the show...

I'm so sorry... and to make it up I have put together the HILL Family Slideshow just for you...

hope you enjoy it...

H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y!

(BLOGGER OUTTAKES)

VIRUS Alert: "WORK"... it may be too late!

Ok...while I'm putting together my exciting coverage of Verne's Birthday party... here is a Monday morning thingy to occupy you for a few minutes while I work on the Verne blog... and do my serious WORK for today ...LOL.

There is a new virus going around called WORK. If you receive
any sort of WORK, whether via e-mail, Internet, or simply
handed to you by a colleague, do not open it. Those who have
opened WORK have found that their social life is deleted and
their brain ceases to function properly.

If you do encounter WORK via e-mail or are faced with any
WORK at all, purge the virus by sending an e-mail to your
boss with the words 'This is too much for me, I'm going out for
a soda. This better not be here when I get back.'

Your brain should automatically delete the WORK. If you
receive WORK in paper document form, simply lift the
document and drag the WORK to your trash can.

Send this message to all your friends in your address book. If
you do not have anyone in your address book, then the
WORK virus has already corrupted your life!

Preview... Verne's B-day Party...

The whole thing was like a dream...
(a nightmare for one?)

there's more...

full coverage ahead...

stay tuned!

LOL.

"Got Salts...huh????"

Si' amigo...

apparently I got the "salts"...

while going for the "leche"...

I should have known something was wrong... there were no pictures on the carton!

I guess I got to be more careful putting up the groceries... just trying to help.

BUT...

Having said all that...

For the life of me... I can't figure why anyone would package this stuff in a milk

carton!

Must be some kind of conspiracy!

OOPS...

pardon me...

finish later...

GOTTA GO.

Whoa...Papa!
