Brooke and Tyler have become a kitchen team. Brownies and cookies is their specialty, lol.
Proof I did find time to get in the lake this week. This was Monday after the trip to get Tyler I just had to relax in the lake and chill.
These teenager sure enjoy time together and its so peaceful, they all get along so well.
Solving the problems of the world.
Where did the week go?
Monday- I spent driving what seemed like forever to get Tyler. I had gone to get him last year with no issues and I know now that I had hand written directions instead of the GPS, lol. I guess I had played with the GPS and had the Road name on it without a number and ummm it carried me to the road, buta long ways from where I needed to be. Bottom line I got there and goy Tyler then headed home with only one stop in mind and that was food and bathroom. I had a small fender bender backing out of the parking spot (darn big trucks). Atleast I hit a friendly person, not much damage and they were happy with taking my info and insurance stuff. I still need to call the insurance company. I was pooped when I got back to Jasper and they had put Dad in the hospital, he was doing good just getting where he would get to breathing better quicker.
Tuesday- I stopped by to see Dad on my way out of town. The rest of the day I spent driving to Vickaburg (My birthday by the way). It sure was hot in Mississippi, and I could not wait to get back to Alabama. It was a nice trip with phonecalls and birthday wishes along the way, love the cell phone when traveling. Kyle got packed and I helped him get loaded in my van when we got there.
Wednesday - I went to work to process out and see co- workers for my last time inside the plant. It was kinda sad but honestly it was a good feeling to be FREE of the stressful job that has controlled my life for 30 years. They had me a lil party and folks that could cut loose from work came to wish me a good retirement. There are so many I still have not been able to see in the last few months that have been a big part of my life at GGNS. Some of these folks I have known longer than my husband. Iwill miss the friends but not the job. I miss ones that retired before me and I have not seen many if them again... kinda like highschool. I managed to get out of Mississippi by 1:00pm and headed back to Bama. I let Kyle drive part of the way and I slept. I have been tired all week and I blame it on the stressful drive on Monday when I was lost for an hour not turning 55.
Thursday- I was busy busy today, I had to go shopping for monthly food and supplies and get the house cleaned up for Family Reunion and the fact that I had been on the road for 3 days made it worse. I did get me a swim today and the lake water was not like bath water it was HOT.
The weekend was an unusual one for sure. The reunion was full of plenty to eat and Brandon's kids were full of intertainment. They really are well behaved kids. WE also got to watch some video of Dustin and Jacy's wedding and a video of Emma Tucker performing at church. The attendance was low for the reunion, but hopefully next year will be better.It just seems that things did not fall right for many this year. I will post a few pictures at the end of post.
Sunday- I must tell off on myself, maybe because I am so proud to finally get a chance to sleep in, lol. I woke up to breakkfast being cooked by Kyle. That boy can cook. I ate and went back to bed, and I managed to stay in bed all day, and I mean ALL DAY! I did get up and eat a few leftovers from Saturday and check email on my way to the kitchen, but right back to bed. The kids were content and lazy too. Pat hung out in our room watching his races and it was a wonderful day and a much needed one. We had a couple showers move thru so maybe the lake water will cool off some.
