Day Two Hundred Fifteen 2012

My Lunch Bunch Peeps! Niece Sarah, great nephew Ethan, great niece Ashley, nephew Chris, sister Ann, sister Jane, and niece Julia. We try to keep a long-running weekly lunchtime get together. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. The kids were out of school for election day here, so this particular group of peeps gathered at Zaxby’s and enjoyed some chicken and milkshakes, conversation and lots of laughs. We are a blessed family, especially in the sense that we truly love each other, and yes, even like each other enough that we go out of our way to be together whenever and wherever we can. How many families can make that claim?

Day One Hundred Twenty Four

May The Fourth Be With You

Local politics. Today is Election Day in a lot of places. Our neighbor across the street is running for re election to Register Of Deeds and apparently believes he has this one sewn up. At noon today, they were setting up tables and chairs on the side lawn and unfurling the red, white, and blue banners for a victory soiree. Maybe if Neil and I had gone over there and told him we voted for him, we might have been invited to the party.

In other randomness, our Peonies are blooming. When I see a bloom like this, I can't help thinking of the movie 'Little Shop Of Horrors' and that giant man eating plant that says, "Feed me, Seymour!"

Even the weedy wildflowers are picture worthy.

I don't know what these purple stalks are, but they're pretty.

Joe Cool dropped by after school today to chill out for a while. Peace out, y'all.
