Happy 61st Ron, and here's 20 years ago

Happy sixty-first Ron Smith, you now a Texan and I a Mexican. Remember Louisiana 20 years ago? Troubleshooting a machine we designed and built. Things were'nt so cool all the time. They seem to have improved a lot. I think youth is overrated. The best is yet to come! And here's my family 20 years ago, at my sister Lise's birthday and Yvette's marriage to Dale. Wow, what a hen house assembled at my mother's Ste Adele house! Those chicks (my sisters) have been going downhill since, o cruel fate, but so have we. We don't talk so fast anymore and our muscle tone went the way of the 45RPM record player. But we don't get in trouble so often and life is more sweet!

Happy Birthday Ron !
However, the best choice is someone who could fight the various growing forms of facism in the world.
One name is obvious for elections 2008:
John Mcain as president with the republican party in power.
Dear Ron, what could you do more than John ?
The best choice for you is to drop out and rally with the republican party and John Mcain, it would be a gift to the nation and to the world.

jackee, tose pudgy cheeks and petite bedaine belong to my old man the "Virginian", Dale. I'm the one smoking. in blue. Yvette that was at Geri's and Rays place. Quels beaux souvenirs. Mon Dieu qu'on etait encore beaux et jeunes. Mon frere, si c'etait en 86, nous n'etions pas encore maries, Dale et moi.

Thanks for the nugget Jacques. Where do you keep those littles gems of videos of us?

Yvette, that video clip was in august of 1988, almost 20 years ago. Jackee is referring to Ron Smith in the top video. She's been blogging with him for 3 years without ever having had a look at him. The cuddly 'little' bear is actually 6 feet 5 inches tall. And Anonymous, the is NOT ABOUT RON PAUL!!! The bottom video was filmed at my mother's house in Quebec AFTER the wedding of Yvette to Dale. Correction accepted. And come back often, blawggers, as we have many more of these gems. Sorry for the bad quality of these compressed clips. Will do better next time.
