My Labor Day Was The Best

You know sometimes your family can get on your last nerve and sometimes your family when it is all said and done are imperfect, loud, roudy, funny, silly, ordinary people. Wow they sound just like you, they look like you, they laugh like you.
This is a piece of my family I wanted to share from my busy and best Labor Day.
Normally when a holiday comes around that is a time for my family to get together and hang out minus my kids and myself. I stay home and chill relax. But this time I wanted out. I had been invited to several events and went to all of them!
I had a blast. I think I gained two pounds in the process like I need more boobage in my life because that is where it will end up on me is in my chest. But I drank soda and had home made cake my cousin Yvette made. I watched my Pearlie Mae discover you could play the slot machines in real time on a computer instead of driving to the casino in Hot Springs.
I ate barbeque ribs and two hot dogs at my stop in Smackover Park in Smackover, Arkansas where I had never been in discovered the most beautiful houses hidden in this tiny oil town. Who would have thought. I must go back and take pictures and post them so people can see them.
I took a picture with my cell phone of my family with the great "Bigun" in the middle of all of us. I'm kneeling beside her looking like a younger version of my grandmother. I needed to get this because she is in the final stages of Alzheimers I don't even know if she knew where she was or who we were but this was a must. If I could just get that last photo of her where she is sixty pounds lighter and looking older than I remember.
It was a wonderful Monday. From Camden to Smackover to Bearden and back home I laughed and met people and took pictures and posted them to my new Flickr account. It was a lot of fun for me.
Along the way I was able to work directly from my phone to all of the projects I do for people and never miss a beat with being with the people that I love.
How cool is technology? If it can keep me closer to the ones that matter to me then I'm all for it.
For now I offer you my family. The Berry's from Tallulah, Louisiana.

Til next time from my cellie,


Mamma
