Day One
~I sneak in the side door while my uncle is on the back porch and come through the kitchen to yell, “Hey Uncle Bubba, you got anything good to eat in here?” At which point he stares at me in disbelief for a solid five seconds then breaks into a huge grin and asks me what in the world I’m doing there! We definitely surprised him. : )
~We go to Aunt Bobbie Jean’s house to have a birthday brunch for all the September birthdays in the family.
~We go to Tracy’s and get the pontoon boat as well as the speed boat for a little tubing and sunning on the lake.
~We go home to Tracy’s house and crawl in bed completely exhausted.
Day Two
~We get up and start working like mad on Uncle Bubba’s birthday bbq. Pork, baked beans, shrimp, deviled eggs, homemade peach ice cream, trifle, cornbread, sweet tea . . . the works!
~We all hang out on the farm, get rained on, have a blast. : )
~Sit by the giant bonfire till bedtime laughing telling stories.
Day Three
~Get up and get ready to hit the river.
~Hit the river and find out that the canoe place we always go to has been closed for an hour. : (
~Head home, then pass one of the people we know who works there and turn around just to be sure.
~Hear the owner yell from inside his shop, “Tell Tracy to get her ass up here!” And get put out on the river IN SPITE of the fact that we’re an hour late. : )
~Ride the motorcycle home with T.
~Relax and sit around the table talking till bedtime.
~Call Carl.
~Then raid Tracy’s bookshelf for all my old favorites before bed. : )
I LOVE THIS PLACE. : )
