grandpa hasslen died and Cali stuff
I am going to the Katie wedding in may and returning to LA on the 12 of May and going to spend a week there. I am going to grace to see Mac and going to a Baseball game at Dodger park. I am paying 700 for a place and a flight. It is going to be a fun time and a relaxing time to. I hope all you master kids are there so I can meet you but I do not think it is going to be lots of free time. If you do want to do something fire me a comment and I will put you into the week. I want to go to the game and to church there. I did tell mike and Don I am coming and if your reading this then you knows it.
Tonight’s cd is Amy Grants great hits part 2.
History is making right now. I am going to a funeral on John Hasslen who was my granddad in the 70s. I have not seen they fam for 25 years and here I am going to the thing. Gary had a flat tire so I made one more call and Readkies are going to make the trip that is going to late for. So it is going to be good or bad. It is 10 30 and it starts in 25 so I am not sure if I going to make it on time. I am going to see the fam and pay my respects to John that was a granddad to me in the early part of my life. Another thing Tif Webb emailed me on the lifting hands thing. I think it is ok.
Here is the life of John Hasslen for my records and your reading pleasure

I knew him as Grandpa. He lived on the lake and I recall going on the boat there and swimming in the lake. I also know that he loved cars. I one time was in the shop with him and he helped me play with a nail thing. I also loved going there as a Hasslen and I also remember one time I went cross county skiing for the first time and lasted all of a couple of seconds on the skies. I member the time my uncle John got mad because I jumped into lake of the dock. He told me one time we were going to cut a hole in the ice and take a dip.
