Jubilee

This weekend is the time of the year where we have the "Family Fun Fest" referred to as The Liberty Jubilee. Let me remind you that I am in a small town in Southeast Texas and events like this are a big deal! The courthouse even closes down for half a day because most of this is set up in the town center. It goes on for 2 days - Friday & Saturday. I am just hoping the weather holds out because our store is hosting a booth which I have to work on Saturday. It has been storming for the past 2 evenings - and is supposed to be a little stormy this afternoon. The weather is supposed to be better for tomorrow, though. I have been watching the setup progress through the store window all morning.

This is my view of the setup of the food vendors from our store window. Just about the very left side of the picture is where our booth is going to be set up, on the near side of the street - opposite all the food vendors. This is going to be tough for me tomorrow - I have to sit there, manning the booth, smelling all the different aromas floating through the air. I love the smell of fairs & carnivals. Hopefully - they will take care of us with some free samples of the food!! :)

Tonight is going to be the fireworks and the street dance. My other half and my munchkin are coming in to town tonight to meet up with me so we can watch the fireworks. I doubt we will be attending the dance because, even though I love to dance, that is not something that fills my other half with any type of joy. But who knows - maybe this once - he will humor me! (I still think this is highly unlikely - just not something we normally do.) I am hoping to get some good pictures of the fireworks! We are just going to set up a few chairs in front of the store, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

If I am able to take any breaks tomorrow - I'll take a look around and see what they are offering this year. I know that they have helicopter rides this year! Just maybe - I will be able to do that! I know that there will be the usual booths set up, the petting zoo, the kiddie rides, the street performers, the musicians on stage, and the parade to really kick things off!

to be continued...

My son's sense of humor...



My son has a great sense of humor. But there are times that it can border on annoying. The clip below is great (as I am a big "Family Guy" fan!) and gets my son rolling on the floor laughing for a long time afterwards - but here is where the borderline is - for HOURS after seeing this clip, he will repeat it to me and bug the CRAP out of me. Of course, the first couple of times it is funny - but only for so long!!! The first time he saw it - it was days before he quit. After a few days, I think he enjoyed the fact that it annoyed me more that the actual comedy of it.



Damn you Stewie Griffin!!!!







There is also another site he gets a kick out of watching a kid bugging the mother. If you havent seen it before - take a look!
