Headboards, iPhone Updates, and Saying Goodbye to a Community Leader (Blog of Wisdom) · 8:56pm Sep 20th, 2013
Hello everypony, this is PONYBUG24, and you all know what day it is, TGIF motherbuckers, oh yeah baby, this is going to be an awesome post today! But right now, I have to get some hard stuff off of my chest. It seems that all is not well in my fair kingdom of Chelsea, Alabama. Yea, we have lost a dear community leader in an automobile accident last weekend. Colonel John. Ritchie did a fine service to his country, and to his community, by serving, not only in the Army and the Air Force, but serving on the City Council for the city of Chelsea, and supporting the nomination of our distinguished Optometrist Dr. Robbie Hayes, as a member of the Shelby County Commission. In December, the Chambless, Ritchie, and Nail (that's his granddaughter's married name) families will travel up to Maryland to West-Point, a very distinguished, and very old military school for the Army, to watch their oldest, Frank, (who coaches the Golf team, advises several math teams, and is the sponsor for the yearbook at the high school), receive a posthumous leadership award on his father's behalf. I did not attend Colonel Ritchie's visitation service yesterday, because I was stuck here working on homework. Instead, my mom went to the visitation on my behalf, which worked out, because I didn't want to be in that sanctuary again for that kind of an event, it would just bring up memories of my Carrick. I guess I'll tell you more about him and what happened at that visitation, when I am ready to. After all, it has been only 9 years, but it seems like only yesterday. But now to some happy and awesome news to distract you from the depressing stuff that I was just talking about. Last Saturday, my mom's friend made good on her promise and finally delivered my headboard for my bed. It looked absolutely stunning, and it was the right size and everything. I still don't understand why she had to be so secretive about my headboard, it just bugs me. Well, I'm outta time for today, I will probably be checking in with you early tomorrow morning, while I am waiting for my Ear Nose Throat Doctor to come get me, if I don't fall asleep first after filling out my paperwork. Oh, one more quick thing before I go, I was in such a rush to not be late to my eyebrow wax appointment, that I left my iPhone 4s at my dads house. Mom and I were sitting around last night, just watching t.v., and then she says, "do you have your phone with you, because I need to do an upgrade." So my mom had to put her shoes back on, and we had to drive back to my dad's house.
