Labor Day Weekend, Whats your Plans!!!
 

Hi, we had such a great day.

Devin and his family, Danny and then My husband Dale, Derrick and I went
to the labor day Picnic for the Union at the Park in Lafayette.

It has a wonderful zoo that is free. All four of the grandkids, got to see
all the great animals. And even though Ethan wasn't there, and I know
it hurt Danny's feelings that Jessica, didn't make sure he was home this
morning so he could go. It was okay. This one, just doesn't understand
about family. She doesn't like things in crowds, and in stead of letting
him go with us. She had him stay the night with her mother, after
going to another tradition last night. The earl Park big weekend fair.

I really felt bad for my son, but he should have said something to her
mother, about getting him home in time. But he didn't. But we will
do something with him another day.


Then tonight Dale, Derrick and I went to Earl Park and the flea market.
Derrick rode some rides and played a game or two.

I got lots of sunburn. And it really hurts.

Ugh, I should know better.

Dear Donna,

Take care of the sunburn.

This weekend I am tired. I could use some sleep. Hubby and I spent the day with my parents . . will do the same tomorrow.

sounds like fun if I don't get too stressed out cooking the gumbo.
I work on monday
have been watching the wunder blog posts...lee has been moving west when he was supposed to go east so texas is getting much needed rain!!!!!
I think we got a total of 4 inches of rain today. couple of clear hours while we were at the festival.
fried egg plant with shrimp and marinara sauce and Parmesan...it was alright.
had a roasted ear of corn..nothing like the fresh sweet corn when I was in IN. :rolleyes:

Dear Bizi

sorry you have to work monday (((hug))) fwiw it isn't labor day here, but then again i don't have to work.... sigh... then again i won't get paid either... sigh.

what was that festival all about anyway? it sounds bizarre!

glad you had decent weather while you were there at least. and sorta kinda enjoyed the food.

i haven't had fresh corn in.............. decades. SERIOUSLY!!! :eek::o

~ waves ~

I am going to bed now. the festival was ok...I was antsy due to the storm which relented while we were there fortunately ate some good food, not great so that was disappointing. walked around looking at crafts, no real arts there. the fleet of shrimp boats will be blessed tomorrow as they head out the season for shrimp. this is the oldest festival in the south...I think. and I don't know why the petroleum gets tagged along....
good nite
(((HUGS)))

ahh... ok thanks...
 

Nite nite sleep tight, bizi! :Zzzz: (((hugs))) :circlelove:

Dear Donna
 

glad you guys had such a good time. it must be neat being part of a large family. i think it teaches you how to be with people effectively. i am from a small family, and over the years have had an increasingly hard time with large groups, even extended family. i think some is that my extended family locally feels like they come from another planet. :rolleyes::D

however, even when i am with people i am comfortable with individually, past 5 or 6 individuals i start feeling withdrawn and i detach psychologically or physically. i have always been more for doing things alone or in 2's and 3's. 4 tops. so i guess i can understand Ethan's mom.

i hope your sunburn gets better quick. don't suppose you keep a large aloe plant on hand? :o

~ waves ~

Nope to the aloe plant.

But the local Dollar store had a nice size Aloe gel, for $2.00 so home it
came with me. Now to figure out what to eat for today.

Thinking about buying pizza. But probably wont.

Heeheeh


I am just relaxing today.

Thanks Mari

i am grossly sorry i asked the question. i guess i had hoped for something... well - on the other side of the spectrum. perhaps something to do with helping the species recover after the disaster... :Noooo: :(

i can't help it. this "hand in hand" and "seemingly unrelated" bit just gives me the heebiejeebies. especially after the, i will politely call it "incident" in the gulf. :o stuff like that scares me. i saw the pic of a shrimp wrapped around an oil rig... boy, puts me off wanting to eat them for the rest of my life, from anywhere in the world. :( most of our society is all about money and getting ahead (for humans) and doesn't care about ecology, but this thing really made it seem blatant for me... like it flaunts it and nobody even sees it. :( or they do and think its... fun????? :eek:

i'm caught up in the same stupid gerbil wheel as everyone else anyway, hypnotically trundling along killing off species as we go, and going, uh-oh, oh well, it was yummy though, let's find a different one and do it again... trundle trundle...

i guess i better just stuff my eco-mind someplace else for now. it seems there is nothing i can do with it.

:(
