Blockheads


by Shirley Bahlmann
It was a year and a half ago when I got the urge to contribute to the local city park so that my family's names could be sandblasted in bricks for ever and ever or until a meteor strike, whichever comes first. I know I won't get any blessings in heaven for having my name on my contribution. My Heavenly home may be a few bricks short. It took a looooong time for us to be firmly entrenched underfoot in the new park's sidewalk, but now I'm proud to announce that the Bahlmann's are officially a bunch of blockheads.

I see you listed them by favorites. It's good to know I'm still first, but I have to admit I thought Jeff would have moved up the list since he's given you some grandkids. Huh.

Yes, well, you see, son, the letters in everyone's names didn't fit beside each other in order. What can I say? I have a bunch of crazy, mixed up kids. They must take after their mother! ;o)
Oh, b-t-w, I love your photo!

I am so offended! What about me? ;)

Shirley Bahlmann said...

Sorry, Heidi, you know I love you! Your name is hidden in the letters of the brothers' names. It's the only way you'd fit!

Hey how come Andy and Jeff do not have their full name? Dad too. That is a rip off. Either put the full names or I offer the following abbreviations for all of them ROBHURT SHEARLHE ANDROO MIKALL SKAUGHT BRWHYAN ZAKAREE JEFAREE
