I Am Now A Contributing Member Of Society

OK,

so I have been away from my computer for awhile.

Can you blame me?

We all need a break once in awhile from the grind of everyday life.

Even though I have,

what you would call,

as an easy life!

I get to sit around all day,

writing on my Blog

watching my kids

and grandkids grow up.

It doesn't get any better than that.

I do have a little story I would like to tell you.

My Dad,

who will be 91 years old this coming September,

told me I could come

and stay at his apartment the first day when I arrived into town while on my vacation.

He lives in a

55 & Older Apartment Complex.

He told me that we would be able to sneak me in and out of the complex,
in the morning,
without anyone being the wiser.

I guess residents can't have guest sleep over in this complex.

So I come rolling up to his place around two-thirty a.m. local time.

I wake him up

and he lets me into his apartment.

What I didn't tell him is,
that while I was driving to Wisconsin from California,

in Iowa,

a deer jumped out in front of me

and I hit the poor thing with my daughter's car.

Since I came into town so late in the night,

I was exhausted.

So I slept until eleven-thirty in the morning that first day.

Before I had awaken,

the

Apartment Manager

was told that there was an abandon car in the visitor's parking lot,

all smashed up.

So she called the Police.

Luckily for me,

a friend of my Dad's was downstairs at the

Manger's Office

at the same time the Police arrived.

She told them that

Delbert Hauenstein

had a son coming in from California

and that it was my car.

The Police ran the plates

and confirmed that it belonged to a

Hauenstein.

So,

not only was I not able to sneak out of the apartment complex in the morning,

on my first day in town,

the Police had to be called because of me.

My family had a real good laugh about it saying,

"Just like the old days, before you moved to California Jim. The Police had to be called about something you did."

I'm sure the

55 & Older Community

will be talking about this one for months.

What else do they have to do?

Except to gossip

and play cards.

This is,

I Am Not The Trouble Maker I Was In My Youth,

I Am Now A Contributing Member Of Society,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“You couldn't be satisfied with being an amateur asshole, could you, Jimbo! You had to go and turn pro on me!”

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
