I'm One of Them :-)

This afternoon while innocently watching the Dilly Bar eating contest, I unintentionally overheard the conversation of the three people standing next to me:

Guy: "So the man that owns Dairy Queen has like 20 Kids."
Other Guy: "Really?"
Lady: "No, that's the family on TV."
Other Guy: "There has to be at least 15 of them then."

Me: "It's 9." all turn to stare at me "He has 9 kids."

Guy: "Oh yeeeaaah! I knew that."
Lady: stares at me for a moment "OMG, aren't you one of them??"

Me: smiles

awkward silence

they walk away

"That Looks Like Something Lydia's Family Would Do." "Umm... that IS Lydia's Family."

The quote in the title was said by two co-workers of mine who just happened to be passing by a local park on Labor Day afternoon and noticed a group of people oddly posing like famous paintings, eating, laughing, talking and in general, just having a ton of fun.



In other words:

BEST. LABOR DAY. EVER.

Enjoy!

That Day that Comes But Once a Year...

I am currently in my own personal heaven on earth. Just stepping over the doorstep of the farm house makes me blissfully happy :-)

It's because this big farm house surrounded by never-ending fields is home to some of my favorite people.

And when we all get together once a year we're bound to have at least a little fun.

For these faces, and my friends and family


I am truly Thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!
