The Best BBQ In The World

The time is ripe for another blog from the pen of Ken.  Last night I spent time with my lovely daughter in law and son in Atlanta.  Number one son knows that I have a passion for smoked BBQ so in trying to add to my happiness, he and number one daughter in law took me to Thompson Brothers BBQ in Smyrna, GA for some authentic Southern BBQ.  The restaurant is located in a strip mall with dozens of other stores and eating establishments.  The frontage is only 30 feet across and 100 feet deep...what I would call a hole in the wall...no negative intended.  The people were friendly and the food....oh, the food.  This is the place for YOU if you like real smoked Southern BBQ.  I had the chopped pork and sliced beef and tried food from the other plates.  My favorites were the smoked sausage and smoked ribs...which I will order next time.
Thanks, Thompson Brothers for a wonderful supper, and I will return in December while in Atlanta for our company conference...can hardly wait!

Now to the neat family stuff - thanks to A and S for a wonderful time in their home, even if it was short.  A wonderful couple and my daughter in law/son...are the salt (seasoned salt) of the earth.  Always enjoy being with them while in the Big A (Atlanta).  Thanks for making a long trip a little bit homier and happier.
Now - Rachel.....does this qualify as a good blog?

Yes, Daddy, this qualifies as a good blog. I like how you call Sam "number 1 son." Am I number 4 daughter?

The Three Minute Grandparent: Feeling Rich

Image
“I feel like a rich man,” said one of the characters in the movie Courageous.   Habiere, gazing into the mirror and admiring his new suit, made the comment.   His wife commented, “You are a rich man; you have a strong faith with children that love you and a wife who adores you.”   What more could a man or grandfather want?   So much in life is fleeting or even false, yet to have someone who loves and cares for you is one of life’s treasures.   A strong faith comes from loving and being loved by the God of the universe.   As a husband for 39 years, a father for almost 35 and a grandfather for 2 ½ years, I can say that I am blessed beyond measure.   My faith began as a child in my parent’s home, observing their faith and wanting it, too.   My own relationship with Jesus began at age 12 and continues to grow.   I continue to find that I am a rich man, not in money, but in relationships; learning more about my loving wife each day and lovi...

The Three Minute Grandparent: Automated Phone Systems “Thanks for calling the Busy Bank Automated Phone System.  For the loan department, press 1; for deposits, press 2; for withdrawals, press 3, for your current balance, press 4, to actually speak to a live person, press 5.”  We all love these automated systems and we get them every day.  Most of us press 0 repeatedly trying to get to a live person…like that is going to happen!  Can you imagine this system being used by a family?  “Thanks for calling the happy Smith Family, to speak to Mom, press 1, to speak to Dad, press 2; to speak to Junior, press 3; to speak to Sally, press 4; to speak to Fido, Oh never mind, just come on over.”  This Grandpa began to wonder about the possibilities of use with a busy Mother and 4 children, perhaps this is how it would work.  “Thanks for calling Mom, for help with homework, press 1; for medical help, press 2; for dinner and snack inquiries, press 3; for a hug o...

Traveling to Glacier Park

Missoula to Glacier National Park...a short drive...well, it is actually 150 miles or so.  The drive is lovely with sights of mountains, lakes, colorful trees among which are cherry and maple, and time in the car with family.  We made such a trip yesterday and had a great time. Our drive was in and out of rain showers as we passed Evaro Hill, the Mission Mountains, Flathead Lake,  thousands of Flathead Cherry trees and the scenery on the East side of Flathead Lake.  The drive...ahhhhh, the drive.  It is always lovely and relaxing...well,.... as relaxing as driving will allow.  The Montana scenery is always worth the drive, however, the fun was inside our car.  Our oldest son, Sam and our Daughter-in-Law, Ashley were with us as we drove.  As confirmed empty-nesters, we are thrilled when family comes to town.  Both were with us for the visit to Glacier Park....and we had fun!  Several hours in the car are sufficient to catch up with grown ...
