Our Life & Times

Happy Birthday to Brian's dad, Randy, today!!!!!! Randy is part owner and the Parts Manager of a large John Deere dealership in our area. He has been there for over 25 years. Randy is the 2nd son of 3 by Grandma and Grandpa (Harold and Eileen.) He and Brian's mom, Pat, have been married 40 years and have two kids, Brian's older sister Teri and of course, Brian. They have 3 grandchildren, Joshua, Rheannon, and Konnor. The best part about Brian's dad is that he can make a joke of just about anything and make everyone laugh. He loves to "pick on" Konnor, and our dogs, and get everyone stirred up. Then he laughs. He eats really healthy food all the time, but loves his wine and ice cream. (not together, of course.) For down time, you can usually find him asleep in his recliner chair in front of the TV, but when he wakes up he loves the 60 Minutes news show on Sunday nights, Oakland Raiders football, and NHRA drag racing. The best part about Randy is that he would do anything for anyone to help. He is a work-a-holic, but also when we didn't know if Konnor locked himself out or not the other day he drove 25 minutes out of his way with his house key to unlock the door. When I asked him if he had to work on my graduation day he said he would come to my graduation and make it work. He also always tries to make it to Konnor's football games, soccer games, wrestling meets, and track meets. Best of all, he is Brian's best friend.
