Barbershop stories

The Wisconsin and South Carolina family have arrived today, but not before some last minute scrambling, which included the hub getting shorn after a period of shagginess. As I have stated before, I love the barbershop. Since Jerry opened his shop, it is a lot more friendly to the women folk. His boss was a bit of a misogynist and not too nice to the visiting moms. Jerry is one of our favorite people and makes the whole experience excellent. Today was no exception. Law enforcement came in to visit and maybe get their hair cut...not really sure about that. A man named Mike was in the chair, getting a flattop for what seemed like an hour, was talking about his crazy neighbors. He was being sued by them for $2000 for vet bills for his cat and the emotional distress of his wife. His words were, "They're mad because the $2 cat they got came on our property and my dog chewed on it a little." I love that place.

The cousins took to each other like ducks to water and have played happily all afternoon. The squeals and laughter are music to all of our ears for sure. They all went to soccer practice, which was okay on this lovely day. S had her first foray back after the anaphylactic scare, but did alright. She did her fair share of complaining about her abs and stomach. Apparently she had to be in a plank position for three minutes yesterday. That's hard core, friends. She told us that she might be getting a six pack. My mother in law asked, "A six pack?", clearly flummoxed that she might be talking about beverages. My father in law said, "A six pack. Like um, oh, um, Jennifer Aniston has." FOr whatever reason, none of the children could look at each other. Whether it was the strange conversation or the Jennifer Aniston reference, we were hiding our laughter.

It is a long day of soccer and cousin play tomorrow, so I will take my leave. I hope to have lots of material for you tomorrow. It should be interesting!
