Simple things

Just felt like chatting – I don’t have much on topic these days. But I have enjoyed my weekend. Mollie’s been home. She and I went to see the movie, Tammy, so many good actors in this one. I don’t expect it will be nominated for an Oscar, but it was cute and we enjoyed it.

We had a family pool party to celebrate my great-nephew’s seventh birthday. I was happy to have it here, I needed to get a jump on my cleaning. My family reunion is coming up next weekend. It’s going to be smaller than usual this year. The number in attendance has varied over the years from around fifteen to forty over the years. Real life sometimes gets in the way. But since we have such a small group this year I invited the new preacher to join us for Sunday lunch.

Nick and I thought about taking a quick trip to NYC to visit with LJ and Colin, we haven’t seen them since December and they weren’t planning to come this way until January. But to be honest I didn’t want to go to NYC.  It’s expensive – plane fair, hotel room, and food. Not to mention I’m uneasy getting around without a guide. So I asked LJ if they would be wiling to take time off and come here if I got them a couple of plane tickets, and they loved the idea.  This way Colin gets to see his family too. They’ll be here the middle of September. I can’t wait!

Maybe someday I'll have something on topic to talk about until then, you're stuck with the simple everyday things of life.
