Day One Hundred Twenty Eight

Picture Postcards From A Day At The Nashville Zoo At Grassmere

We had a great time!

This pic has nothing to do with the zoo. I snapped this on the fly back home this evening. It is Percy Priest Dam with the floodgates wide open and the flood waters gushing through almost straight out from the force behind it. I've never seen it like this. Lots of places still flooded and thousands of folks displaced by the devastation the flooding left behind here in middle Tennessee.

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven

OB LA DI OB LA DA

Life goes on. Happy T. G. I. F. !

Day One Hundred Twenty Six

Lunch!

My sister, brother, nephew and I had lunch with our mom/granny today. The house lunch was fried chicken, which she loves. I brought her Krystal burgers, which she loves. My brother brought her corn dogs and mustard, which she loves. So what did she choose to eat for lunch? All of it! She enjoyed every bite. Lunch with Mom is always a hoot.

Day One Hundred Twenty Five

Cinco de Mayo

Grand daughter Shelby celebrated Cinco de Mayo today at school. They partied with games, a pinata, chips and salsa and other Mexican foods, and of course they each got a sombrero to wear, because how can you possibly celebrate Cinco de Mayo without a sombrero on your head? She said it was fun. We wanted to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant this afternoon, but the line was out the door. Happy Fifth of May, everyone!

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.
