DeLayne came home the other evening and said that she had been asked by a friend what my favorite meal is and she did not no how to answer. After that the thought occurred to me that to most people I am probably identified as either DeLayne's husband or Chad and Shane's dad. So, just so everyone can know a little more about me, here is a list of a few of my favorite things. Now that song is stuck in your head too.
Meal - Spaghetti and meat balls. Although just about any pasta dish will be eaten. Good thing with all of the bike riding at our house, there is a lot of pasta consumed. I also like pounded and smothered steak with mashed potatoes, gravy and corn like mom use to make.
Pie - coconut cream. I forgot how good Luby's coconut cream pie is until yesterday when we stopped at Luby's for lunch. I also like pecan and of course cherry with vanilla ice cream is a good comfort food.
Cake - German chocolate with Carmel/coconut icing.
Ice Cream - Vanilla. You can do anything with it.
Pizza - Pepperoni followed by Hawaiian.
Soft drink - I'm a Pepper.
Sport - sorry guys, it's baseball. I started playing when I was six years old. This was the first sport I was allowed to play. I played catcher probably because I was the only kid who could catch a baseball. The team I was on did not have any shin guards but I loved it. We were so bad we got the sportsmanship trophy.
Hobbies - riding bikes and photography.
Baseball team - the Rangers. Yes, they are doing well this year but I am still holding my breath.
Football team - the Dallas Cowboys.
Car - my 1983 Dodge Shelby Charger. The day I bought that car, DeLayne's boss insisted she take a ride in it and that is when I asked her out. The rest, as they say, is history.
Vacation - The cruise DeLayne and I took to Alaska for our 25th anniversary.
Family Vacation - any one of the trips we took to Wind River Ranch in Estes Park, Co. If you are looking for a great place to take a family vacation, I strongly suggest checking this out.
Candy - may parents peanut brittle followed very closely by my sister Joyce's homemade toffee. However, I have met very few candies I could not learn to like.
Favorite Hymn - The Old Rugged Cross. That hymn can preach.
Favorite Bible verse - John 3:16. That verse just sums it all up.
Favorite Bible Passage - Mathew 6:25 - 34. Any passage that starts with "Why do you worry?" is for me right now.
Favorite son - depends on who is in the room when I need something.
Well, I hoped you all enjoyed all of that insight.
Thanks again for all of the prayers, support and encouragement. It means more than you will ever know.
I could have guess Mom's smothered steak was one of your favorites. I think all of us kids liked Mom's steak. I'll have to make you some one of these days. Who knows maybe I will even deliver to your house. I think I do a pretty good job of replicating Mom's recipe. Rusty and Ken really like it. I have definitely enjoyed your insights and appreciate the sense of humor God gave you. Love you brother. You, DeLayne and the boys are in my prayers always.
