From my mother...

A tale of woe for my father...

"i came down the road on my way home from work and saw your dads truck sitting in a peculiar spot. it looked like it was wedged between two trees over by his garden. upon further inspection i saw that it was between two trees but not wedged....it was buried in mud up to the running board. right away i knew this was going to be a good one. it seems your father decided he was going to mow that lawn even tho there was visible standing water so he got out his rider and proceeded to mow but not very far because he buried his mower in the mud like he does every year only a little worse this year. then he decided to use his truck to pull his mower out but that only buried his truck deeper. i followed the mud trail to the house where he did manage to take off his muddy shoes but he was sitting in his chair drinking wine. he looked like he had been there for a while because the mud that was caked all over his body was dry. he finally got Bobbie to come over this morning and get him out. i finally stopped laughing sometime yesterday. "IDIOT!!" i am soooo sorry i didnt think to take pictures. especially of him in his favorite position covered with mud. too, too funny! i think its time to find him a companion while i'm at work."
