The South

Where tea is sweet and accents are sweeter; summer starts in April; front porches are wide and words are long; macaroni and cheese is a vegetable; pecan pie is a staple; Y’all is the only proper pronoun; chicken is fried and biscuits come with gravy; everything is darling and someone is always getting their heart blessed. -unknown

Reunion Weekend


I had such a great time this past weekend. My high-school class had it's 15 year high school reunion. It doesn't feel like it has been 15 years. The years since we have all been together weren't even a factor because we all just talked and reminisced and shared stories. We had such a great time that we want to plan a girl's spa weekend next summer. I don't know if I can wait until then. It was great to see everyone, and I only wished it could have lasted longer.

Out of the mouths

My two children. God Bless them.

Last night at supper we went to a Mexican restaurant to eat. Reese had to go to the potty so my dad took him. As he was coming back to the table, he was talking rather loudly and I told him to stop screaming. He said, (LOUDLY) “I was screaming like a little girl!” Where does he get that?

Yesterday afternoon in the car, Brooks was telling me how bad Reese had been that day. (I already knew most of what he had done.) Brooks said, “Reese, you have been bad for three days…….You are probably going to hell.”

WHAT?!

They make me tired.

Tuesday Tidbits

I discovered last week that I like hummus.

Reese finished his last day at pre-school this past Wednesday. I was a little sad but he didn’t seem to care. He will be in K4 this coming fall. It makes me feel old.

Brooks is out of school for the summer. He knows exactly how many weeks until he has to go back. I hate to tell him that this summer will probably fly by.

My 15 year class reunion is Saturday. I am already trying to decide what to wear. Why do I put myself back in that mind-set. I should be able to tell my brain that I am a grown-up now, and not in high school. My friends are still my friends no matter what I wear. Maybe that will sink in.

If you haven’t read Laurie’s blog, go read her post about her match. I get filled with tears of joy each time I read it.

A Treat for my Sweet

Reese LOVES pickles. I bought him a treat at the store to see what he would do with it. He loved it.

(and yes, he was sweaty from being outside......doesn't take much for him)

Savannah from Savannah

We had our second book club meeting Friday night. We read the book Savannah from Savannah. I really enjoyed the book and always find it so enlightening to hear what other insights and thoughts my fellow ladies share. Melissa is going to share more on her blog in the coming days so be sure and check out her wonderful details that make these gatherings so special. I did have to share in the bottom picture, Melissa had the author, Denise Hildreth, on speaker phone! It was such a wonderful treat! I can't wait to buy our next book!

The end of the season.

Well, last night was our last baseball game for the year. Brooks had a great time. So much so, that he cried last night because it was over, and he wouldn't get to see his new friends anymore.
He ended the season in sort of a slump, but his spirits were still high. He has already said he wants to play next year. This will mean a lot of practice between now and then.
I am so proud of how far he has come!Way to go Brooks!
*And I made it through a whole season without spending any money at the ball park. Way to go me!
