I spent the weekend with family. It was a busy but rewarding weekend.
The fabulous A’s came out, my niece and her daughter, and we drove a car to UT, the one she will use to get herself to and from school. Its a great beauty – an older truck that has been very well taken care of (thank you Dancing Queen) but has plenty of life left in her. Her name – Ethel. We loved Ethel, she is in the prime of her life. I’ll post pictures of Ethel in a few days.
We started our drive on Saturday morning, stopped off in Winemucca, NV (where “there is always something going on” according to the 100’s of billboards up to the Hills Have Eyes town) for a bite to eat, slept in Elko, NV, and finished our trip in Lehi, UT, which is where I’m now. My flight from SLC to CA was cancelled this evening, I’m heading home to the cats tomorrow.
I would normally be annoyed by the airlines not being able to get their act together, but not this time. I feel relieved as now I am able to spend time with family. My mom is taking caree of her a few of her grandkids – my youngest sisters kids. One of them is Bubba, a nephew that is near and dear to my heart. I fell in love with this little guy the minute I met him – named him Bubba myself. Not because he looked like a fat man who played a part in Deliverance, but because he had the warmest spirit and biggest smile of any little boy I knew. My heart melted, and Bubba has had a special place in my heart since.
Anyway, due to a family emergency, the boys are are here at Grandma’s. And tonight, I’m the lucky one – I get to sleep with one of my favorite men of all time – Bubba. I’m headed to bed soon, he is fast asleep… so adorable! I hear he snores and likes to kick…. who doesn’t?!??!
All in all, this is an experience I will remember. Glad I did it. Puts a smile on my face just thinking about it. And who doesn’t like a lady who smiles?
