Looks like FTA/WI convention is a scratch for me

I just found out tonight that my granddaughter is getting married on September 12. I was basically told in no uncertain terms that I had to be there - CRAP!!!

I was really looking forward to going. Missed WI last year because of an impending hurricane, and now this.

Okay, I'm done whining - I can't stand whiners - lol.

Did you float the idea of her moving her wedding to Marshfield?

You could make the first day of Ohio's Convention and still get home for the 12th.

Well, I'll be at the Iowa convention so you'd miss seeing me, so...it'd be a bummer for you anyway.
Congrats on the granddaughter getting married
To make this completely about me; was the new book going to be ready for the WI show?
Thanks Boss,

Or....you could have them move the WI show and wedding to Iowa and we could talk Kendall Obermier into playing at the reception? Just a thought......

You could get a cardboard cut out of yourself and your wife could take it to the wedding instead of you!!!

Family is important. Job #1.

Do your thing , no apologies needed or expected. Period.

There will other chances with conventions etc , there is only one chance with being a good family member.

You have a complete pass on missing this event. No harm, no foul.



Family matters come first. Period.

Just go for Thursday like I am, Paul! Gotta be in Indiana on Fri, so it's a one day rondy for me and a few others!

How many conventions you been to, a million?

Well dad blast it Paul, a guy has to do what a guy has to do.
Enjoy your day with family. Reminds me of a time when my ex brother-in-law
got married on opening day of deer season, ya should have seen the looks on
the faces of us guys who had to be there. His bride said "that was the only Saturday
in November the church was not booked". lol
Hope you have a great time and will miss you at the rondy.

Lee, will you still be there on Thursday afternoon? Would like to shoot the breeze with you again.

Zim

You bet, Zim! Not leaving till Fri morning. Have the banquet on Thur evening. Not gonna have a booth this time though. Lookin forward to seeing you too!

Can't miss a granddaughter's wedding. Congratulations, Paul!

Jim

Can't miss the granddaughters wedding. Congrats to her and her fiance

You'll be wishing for a hurricane if you don't show up

You got that right. My eldest son got married on a weekend when I was supposed to go to a Virginia convention. I told Rhonda that he didn't need me to get married. I attended the wedding with bandages about my head and shoulders from the frying pan.

Nah, that would be a stretch. I've only done a couple hundred.

Gotta be at the rehearsal dinner on the 11th, from what I'm told.

I hope to have it ready before then.

For cryin' out loud, you have to be there for the wedding AND the rehearsal dinner too; that's asking a lot!!!!! I could see if you were the father and had to give her away, but grandpas just have to stuff a lot of money in the envelope!!!!

Seriously, congrats to the bride, you, and the whole family.

What kinda cheese you need ?

Give her a handful of Franklin's and tell her to elope.

ya know he got the wine huh.

He's got plenty of that .
I'll trade some of my homemade Horseradish cheese for some Dragons Blood Wine.

Just come on down to Jawga the next weekend ( Sept. 18th - 19th ) Surly you want be required to go on the Honeymoon LOL . We gonna gather on the bank of the Oconee river just outside of Dublin GA. at the Laurens county sportsmans club .

Here I thought Paul was coming to our roudy, just to get some my home made Venison Sausage LOL! Guess I see how us folks in WI rank..
We all here know family comes first so enjoy the day with yours..
I will have to just ship you a stick sausage when I make the next batch..Maybe it be hit at wedding reception??? LMAO!

Mac

Minker...never had horse radish cheese....sounds good.
Paul we’ll miss you at the convention and Lee too...family first.

Paul,
You are a blessed man! May your tribe increase.
And as it does, your family obligations will keep your Toyota with 500,000 miles on it, in the driveway more often.
I know. I'm living that dream also brother!

Blessings
Mark
