ROAD TRIP!

Since returning to work,
Money's been a little "tight!"
I've been back full time for a little over a year now.

A year you say?

And, you're STILL PLAYING "CATCH UP?"

Well, I was OFF a little OVER a year.

I rest my case!

IF you haven't been there...

So...

My MODE of travel for Vacation...

ROAD TRIP!

I'm in Alabama for the Labor Day Holiday...

I traveled here with Family.

It ONLY took...10 hours...32 minutes...And, 5 seconds!

The reason I know how long it took....EXACTLY,

In MY car was...My Father...His Girlfriend...

So...I...Along with my car (Although new!)...Has Aged,

At LEAST 20 EXTRA years...

With the "Seniors" in tow!

The "Seniors" packed like we were going for TWO WEEKS...

Instead of the FOUR days...

We're ACTUALLY STAYING!

When I "mentioned" I was hungry while I was driving here...

They had "grits"...Yes, Grits!

Salami...Cheese...Crackers...Fried Chicken Wings...And, Bread.

Water...Tea...And, "cups" of Ice!

ALL of this...

"STORED"...In "plastic" grocery bags!

You "gotta" LOVE...Seniors!

Surprisingly...We "bonded" over music.

I brought ALL the Motown Hits from the 50's & 60's.

My Dad...Who I "affectionately"...Call Poppy,

Brought Anthony Hamilton...R. Kelly...

And, he KNEW...ALL the words!

We laughed...and, sang ALL the way to Alabama!

Anthony Hamilton...R. Kelly?

You could have "knocked" me over with a feather!

Since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer,

MEMORIES...Like this...

The TIME spent with my Family...

Means MORE to me...

Than ALL that OVERTIME money,

I used to "covet".

You Know...

"Life's SIMPLE pleasures ARE the BEST..."

REALLY...Are the BEST...

In ALL the World...

That OLD commercial got it RIGHT!

Until Next Time...

" For EVERY thing...There IS a SEASON"

" A Time to LAUGH...A Time to DANCE..."

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 (Portions Of!)
