Today our new minister preached her first sermon as our new associate. I thought she did a great job...more guts than I have, that's for sure. She and I went to the same church growing up and I've known her parents for a while. Contrary to popular rumors, I did not change her diapers when she was a baby. Her parents were some of my youth middle school counselors and were wonderful. After church/work was over, I went home and prepared the children for the last fun with cousins activity. It was a warm enough day that we put them all in their swim suits, yet again, and took them to the fountains at World's Fair Park. Just as with the local high school football game or state fair, you see all kinds of people from all walks of life. The cousins had lots of fun and spent time lamenting the fact that they live so far apart. They spent time people watching and trying to figure out people in bathing suits that should never be seen in public, understanding the confusing homemade tattoo found here and there and attempting to figure out why grown humans would choose public hyper chlorinated fountains to commit PDA. After wearing themselves out a good 87%, they stopped to drink and snack to refuel before the playground. Quite honestly, I'm not sure what the boy was sipping:
Kids. They start the hard stuff way too soon.
We said our goodbyes, stopped to pick up a jug o milk and went home to wash the chlorine out and eat leftovers. I then went to check on the garden's progress and ran into the very rare Tennessee Hooded Dollar Tree Cobra...deadly:
Luckily it likes our family and leaves us alone. Now if it would just pollinate our squash. Monday is quickly apporaching and the sun is setting on this beautiful day. Enjoy the rest of your evening...I forsee an early bedtime.
