We are on vacation! LB, Sylvie, Tiny Dog and I hit the road yesterday and spent last night in Alabama. We’ll be here tonight too. Getting up early to head towards Texas. Then we will pick Sweety up from the airport on Friday! As of yet, we don’t know if BB will be coming or not.
His baseball team is doing well in their finals (is that what you call a baseball tournament? I dunno.) and if they win tonight’s game then he won’t be on vacation with us. He will stay w/his mom so he can go to the county-level championship game. I’m not happy about that. But his team has never gone this far and he’s been playing since he was able to hold a glove so I can see why he’s so excited about it.
I’m sorry that BB didn’t make the trip with us but not too sorry because LB and Sylvie are having such a large time together. I don’t think they’d be getting along so well if BB was here. We’ve played lots of games, went to some historic places and they’ve developed their own secret handshake. So far, the trip is a success!
I realized this morning that I live for summer vacation. All year long, I go to hell work and spend all day long looking at my calendar that has my vacation days marked off. I really don’t give a damn about much else that goes on in the year in the way of holidays.
And I also realized yesterday as we were in the car and the kids were being little goofs – that I really like my life. The 40 hours a week that I go to work kind of crush me but the rest of the time? Very good.

I hope you will stop for a break and see me in Waskom, Tx. Where are you now? I live near Shreveport, just west barely in Tx.
Oh, wait if it is 3:00 in the morning, please do not call as I hope I will be asleep. Ha! Ha! Seriously stop?
Email me if you can stop.
