- Sunday,
my brother and sister had a barbeque at their house. I helped Christina get things prepared,
and Marc took over the grill. It
was good eating, and I also got to watch all three of the older kids ride
around the backyard, and it was a good time. The only scary thing all day, was that
night when we were doing fireworks, and one went a little more crazy than
expected!
- Monday
night, all of my southern siblings, the kids, my dad, and I all went out
to Paducah
to go to Texas Roadhouse. Now, I’m
not a butter on bread person anymore, but I tried their honey cinnamon
butter on their bread, and wow, that tasted like heaven in my mouth…I
would have had more than two rolls, but since I still had supper to eat, I
stopped myself. I could be happy
just eating that though!
- I got
back home here to my small town in New York around three in the afternoon
on Wednesday, and how beautiful it felt to sit and watch a half hour of
television on our couch. Yeah,
sure, I had to get ready soon afterwards, but after sitting in a very
uncomfortable truck for the entirety of Tuesday and part of Wednesday…I’m
kind of hating vehicles even more right now. Haha!
- The
Fourth of July parade in town was Wednesday as well, and my mama, my
sister, her boyfriend, and Camerin and I went down to the park to watch my
dad march, as well as see the rest of the parade. We even got to see our friends Jackie
and Chris’s newborn, who was so cute!
And Jack, as wonderful as he is, walked over to watch with us. Good to see him after my trip,
especially since he was able to bring me smiles. He always brings me smiles it seems.
- Jack
and I walked around the carnival for a little while after the parade
ended, talking, where he did an accent and I had to try hard not to laugh
too much. Ran into multiple people,
and a lot of people are right…where’s the need for high school reunions
when things like the carnival for instance, is like one, every year. Soon, I had to say goodbye to Jack
though, because he had to get home, and my girls were on their way for us
to go the beer tent.
- Yep, I went to the beer tent, where I got to dance to a live band with a couple of my friends I graduated high school with, and some of my friends that had graduated before me. With these girls around, I know that our small town will be more bearable, and that I can count on them for fun and laughter.
Not too much has happened since the third, because I’ve been
a bit of a hermit, due to being on the road so much and I wasn’t feeling great. Today?
I’ve got an annual family party to attend, and a wedding tomorrow to go
to. So…wish sanity for me.
~Count your blessings, and whether things are bad or you’re
doing well, find something good and hold on!
Much love!
