She reminded me that I've always said when she gets two numbers in her age, she can play in the street with the other hooligans. Well, that happens next month. Time flies. But, as you can see, we have none of them fancy sidewalk things in Guntown, so all the kids play ball and ride in the street. It's well known and most people are aware of it. It still worries me, but, I promised. It's a right of passage in Guntown.
If you click that pic, you can see that house on the corner. This might be long, but, I'm tellin' it anyways. That awful house. It's called Hell's Corner here in Guntown. For good reason. It's cursed. I used to own it. My son actually owned it, never lived in it, but, when the relatives stole my house, he gave me that thing. I appreciated it at the time, it was emergency housing. I lived there for awhile and it was so bad, I gave it back to him. We didn't think it was fixable. He sold it for like, $1,500 cash and he was lucky to get that. It should have been torn down. All kinds of idiots of ill repute have worsened it since then. Now, this bad ass dude has moved in and is working on it. He has this huge sign erected in the front (must get a pic of that) and it says "The Godfather Of Guntown" on it with crossed guns. It's funny as shit. He also has Pit Bulls and one of them is a known biter. My mom is livid. So, I went up to check them out. I had an excuse because his kid needed permission to go with my grandkid to the pool. That kid is another story..but, anyway, I checked out him and his bad ass dogs. The dogs are clearly territorial, which means leave them alone in their yard. If they get loose, they'd pose no threat. I get dogs like that, I get what's in their heads. So, the dogs are cool. The poor guy that got bit, got half his face taken off because he accidentally walked into their chain space to read a meter. You don't do that with a Pit, (or any other chained dog), they're funny that way. The owner has a warning sign up. The victim knew he was at fault, he's a dog lover, and didn't press charges. Very cool guy. But, the incident didn't endear the neighbors to the new dogs. And for now, Lis is not allowed to go over there without me.
Anyhow, so bad ass dude, the Godfather, rolls with chainsaws and burning giant piles of crap all day long while blasting heavy metal. The cops have been called several times. Which cracks me up. All the neighbors are obnoxious anyway, this guy just has a head banger's taste and they hate it. My solution is to go out and yell over the din.."Hey, got any Danzig?" He's, like, throwing me that universal devil sign and "Hell yeah!!" Cool. How about Nirvana? Hell, yeah! You can't go wrong with Cobain. Or some Beck. Nice. We get along fine. I like to work in the yard at night and he's at the local tavern then. As Guntown neighbors go, he's not a bad one at all. The cop visits alone are entertaining. I love his kid, his rotten bad ass kid. That kid is always at our house. I'll get some pics. He's Lissa's BFF and he's a ginger too. Cute as hell. But, bad ass. So, bad ass. Chuckles.

Pat, that looks like a nice neighborhood. Or you have just shown us the nice looking part.
Why did you feel that house was bad? Do tell. What happened there?
When I look at Lis, I see Casey all over. But then I've never seen pics of Eric at a young age.
I can't believe that lowlife had the balls to sign Lia's name!
I forgot to ask, do these trees make any kind of fruit. The are gorgeous.
First of all - Fuck off to anon the idiot. Should have stopped eating paint chips a long time ago.
The trees are lovely! Nothing like that around here. Color like that is scarce.
Lissa IS absolutely lovely! To endure what she has and radiate such beauty and confidence is a promise to what she will become. I thought she was already 10! Reaching that double digit age is a big deal!
Jane, that house in front is the best house here. The rest of Guntown is bad. I didn't show that on purpose, it's just across the street. I live on a good Guntown street, generally. It's usually quiet. It's just a poor, run down place.
That house was bad. A child died there and it was rendered structurally unsound when my idiot aunt moved the original staircase. Other horrible renovation ideas just made it unsafe and unlivable.
The crabapple trees make crabapples. You can make jelly out of them or let birds eat them in winter.
That troll..I hope they know Lissa reads here. She has a tablet and phone. She likes looking at 'her' posts. So, troll, are you helping her? Nice person. I'll delete it before school is out. I just wanted you guys to see what a creep troll is.
Anon,
Hit the spot, baby. Let's see the real you. I bet you are so dazzling, svelte and gorgeous, we would all turn to stone just to gaze upon your overwhelming perfection.
Yah, right.
Gawd. Girls are the meanest! Am I right? Jeez. I don't know who Lia is. Tia, yes. Lia, no. Peace, everybody.
Some of us feel like these people are family. (We can't pick our real families, but we can pick our friend family.) And we can be quite protective of them.
Some people are so mean!
What kind of sick jerk makes comments like that here?
Anyway, Lissa looks beautiful. She really does kind-of glow.

Thanks, all. I love how trolls are now giving blog, family and kid advice. Like they're dear blabby. Jesus.
I miss her! Did the suit fit? I bet it was too short huh? She's a tall girl. :-)
Casey, it fit her perfectly. I sent you pics! She loves it so much!
Anon, I love how you're now worried about your comment. Lis didn't see it. She hasn't been here yet. She's been busy. Can you just have a heart and stick to trolling me and leave her out if it? I do think you feel bad now and I get that and appreciate it. She's a good kid, but, you know she has enough shit in real life to deal with. Seriously.
was another cunt seriously making comments about Lissa? Pathetic, I hope they get Gonorrhea & can't afford the treatment.
She looks so grown up now, my boy is 7 on Sunday & it is amazing how different he is on a daily basis. Scary how time flies.
I hope you are both doing ok after recent events. :)
