Been distracted....

Alfred told me I need to start writing again and I know he's right but sometimes I just can't think of anything good to write about. I've been distracted lately getting ready for Trav's homecoming. Anyway, he said, "Just write about us riding down to the river and getting the gator stuck." So, here goes......we rode down to the river this afternoon and got the gator stuck on the way back up the hill. HA! Actually we sat on the porch for a long time just talking and laughing. I tried to imitate the call of an Eagle and Alfred said I sounded like a ruptured chicken! What the heck is a ruptured chicken? My mama says Alfred is wise behind his ears! She also says, "Life is like a box of chocolates.....you never know what you're gonna get!" :) Anyway, we DID get stuck coming back up on the gator and Ferd had to get the tractor and push it up the hill. It was a slippery, nasty mess for sure.

Mama and me went to see Trav yesterday and he was in a pretty foul mood when we got there. He's so ready to come home and things aren't moving along the way he (or we) want them to. We are all so anxious to have him home and it just has to be any day now. He was in a much better mood by the time our visit was over so that made it a bit easier to leave him. On the way home, we stopped at Golden Corral for lunch and our chinese waiter tried to take mama home with him. He was a cutie pie for sure but she wouldn't cooperate! I do have to admit, the service was excellent! It really is kinda sickening to see old people flirting. Speaking of flirting....did I mention my mother-in-law has a boyfriend too! Holy cow! There must be something in the water around here! They're snuggling on the sofa like teenagers! We may be planning a double wedding around here before you know it. Alfred's mama AND my mama have both gone a'courtin!!

Oh well.....I guess this is about it for tonight. Hopefully I'll write again tomorrow and will have more to say. Have a great week and God bless.................
