Mid September - Gunter Reunion - Baird Reunion

September has been busier than I thought it would be, so far. I was disappointed in Labor Day weekend and not really anything to tell other than we did not labor or ride the new pontoon due to the rainy weather. We have been trying to focus on some yard projects for the fall. I thought if I could get the stuff then Pat would work on some flower beds and landscaping stuff while I am off to Vicksburg at times. We disagreed so much on what to do and how to do it, then I decided to just do it my way... for about an hour then I realised we neither one could do what needed to be done ... so I called to get an estimate from a landscaping company. They came out and seemed very knowledgeable on what and how to do what needed to be done and WE BOTH quickly found out we knew nothing and the stuff I had bought was not even the stuff I needed, lol. So we finished a few things we had started even if they said we should use different stuff. We will be getting them back to do the front of the house when we can make up our mind just what to do.

I still have not been able to give Mom and Dad a ride on the pontoon... seems they are feeling bad when the weather is nice and feeling good when its rainy... go figure. We did take one ride on Labor day with Randy and Glenda and it was exciting to say the least... we let Kyle drive and he was doing a good job and ummm yea going faster than I wanted... can't believe I am actually saying that. Anyway the water patrol noticed us right off and that we did not have the registration numbers on out pontoon boat.. so we got pulled over and he checked us for all the required stuff, which we had, but Kyle did not have his license with him nor did I. We explained that we had just bought the boat and he asked when I had to say well I guess we have not officially bought t since we have not give the man money yet, lol. He was happy and just informed us to have DL on use when on the lake and noticed our Alabama shirts and boat and says Have a nice day and ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! We decided an ALABAMA flag is needed for the pontoon, lol.

This weekend has been busy with family reunions so I will post the pictures with comments as needed.

Below is the Baird Reunion which is being moved to the Farmers and Traders Bank at Curry so that will be a lot more convenient for most.
