ReplyDeleteI've only been a part of the family for a little while now but all of the Waldron's including Kate have made me feel like part of their own family. I'm glad that I've had time to spend with Timmy and all the fun he has had with our Golden's. They miss him just as much as me and Ali. Get well soon because Cyrus and Abby need a play buddy again.
ReplyDelete(This is Kate's favorite story)
ReplyDeleteWhen Tim and I were little, I had this little Playskool horse on wheels. I was riding around in the backyard one day and Tim wanted to ride that little horse in the WORST WAY. So being the little brat that I was (and still am today), I got off the horse and said, "Tim, you wanna turn?" Tim came running over to have his turn, and then I jumped back on the horse just before he got there and said...
"PSYCH!!!"
If any of you find one of those plastic horses on wheels, I strongly encourage you to buy it for Tim. I think he's still waiting for his turn...
Tim - when you get well enough, Ryan and I will bring you a great big pan of homemade MAC 'N' CHEESE!! I love you, I miss you and I'm so proud of you. See you soon!!

Hi Tim! Here's my daily "Blogspot Hug!" I'm sorry I don't have a funny story of my own, but I'm hoping that the following letter from a farm kid sent home from Marine Corps Training will bring a smile to that handsome face of yours!
ReplyDelete(Now at Camp Pendleton, San Diego, Marine Corps Recruit Training)
Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are too. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer that the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m., but I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay... practically nothing. Men got to shave but it's not so bad... there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie, and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you 'til noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.
We go on "route marches," which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.
The country is nice but awful flat. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join up before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding on in.
Your loving daughter,
Alice
As I referred to before, Tim and I are partners in crime for many reasons. I was telling my mom this morning about how many stories Tim and I have, but this one stands out among them all. It's a story that even Tim brought up in one of the emails he wrote to me overseas.
ReplyDeleteLast June was a crazy time, and I threw a huge graduation party at my house. Of course Tim and I were in charge of running the "errands" for my mom before everyone arrived. If anyone knows my mom, you know not to joke around or mess with her before huge parties at the Maduell house. She is always stressed and needs as much help from us as she can get. Tim and I decided to be brats and to bother her as much as possible. We took our time running the first errands just to piss her off, and stopped at a party store to pick up balloons. We had the wonderful idea to buy funky glasses with the nose and hair and crowns to wear later in the day. When we got home, my mom was telling both of us what we still needed to do for her, and even gave us a list, but all Tim and I did was sit there and laugh at her. She started yelling at us, and before she finished, he gave me a look, and we whipped out the glasses. My mom could not help but laugh, but it just put her over the edge. I will never forget all the "little things" we have done together. As some know, our goal in life when were together is to either bother Kate, or frustrate my mom as much as possible.
Tim, there is no one else I could do this with, and I know this will never change.
I love you so much Timmy!
What up Timmy!! Glad to hear you are doing good! and make sure you always remember....that I think your tractor is sexy!! HAHA love ya!!!
ReplyDeleteWell let me see I know so many, But the other day Amber, David and Erin were talking of so many things you have done in the past and this one stuck. Your 13th birthday--You wanted a trampoline (you always get what you want) so you stayed at Davids house one night and we set the trampoline up and invited all the kids, 18 teenagers how fun. Amy, Keri, and her sister and myself decorated the whole backyard and had everything set for your big surprise. All you wanted to do was go to Home Town Buffet, so David and you came in we told you to feed the dogs and then we would go, so you walked outside and saw 18 of your closest friends sitting on your Trapmoline they yelled surprise and all you could say was DOES THIS MEAN WE CAN'T GO TO HOME TOWN, I told you no and you got so upset. SO YOU. After you ran to your room Amber and Amy went to talk to you then you finally came out to start the party. You had a great time and so did everyone else. All but three of the kids spent the night---and slept on the trampoline.

ReplyDeleteOur favorite memory's are when we would all go to the lake and go camping or just out on the boats, is when you and randy would always compete with the water sports and as always you would come out on top... We all would have to listen to you and randy for hours always saying who was the winner.. and for hours we would all sit and laugh at you and randy because both of you would always have to be right...
Those were the good ol days..
and dont forget that song you and randy were listening too. whoop whoop chicken chicken..ha ha ha ha ha ha
Well when you get better, we will all have to go and have some fun.. I love you Tim and hope to come see you soon.

So I was just thinking about our gazillion memories that we have, with many of them being funny. One that just sticks out in my mind is when you got me my first facial. I want to thank you for your generosity on sharing that wonderful gift. I know it came from deep within you... ha-ha-ha-ha-ha :) good times!
ReplyDeleteI love you baby
Katers oxoxoxoxoxo
Tim,
ReplyDeleteI almost have agree with Katie. I do agree with on all the great memorys that we have of us at the lake. But, I still think I'm a better wakeboarder. If I remember right I was jumping about 6 feet and you could only jump 3. I just bought a new FJ Cruiser with a killer sound system you have to hear. When you get home we are going to come down and play that song you know WHOOP WHOOP CHICKEN CHICKEN.

Tim, Katie and I talked to your mom last night for a few. She was telling us all about your day. We got to hear how you poop poop on the potty. I still think you should of had a hot nurse wipe your butt. Why did you take a shower? That's why you have the hot nurses give you a sponge bath.
ReplyDeleteP.S. When you get back I'm still waiting for a night on the town. You know the dollar store. Dad and I owe you a date with alot of dollars.
Hope to see you soon and we love you !!
