Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that makes me happy: Riding in the boat. Sun on the race. Wind in the hair. Kids laughing. Lance laughing maniacally as we ride the jet-ski.
Something i am struggling with: Grandma tried to evangelize me yesterday. Twice. Once as in front of the entire family. Uncomfortable, to say the least. Being in confrontational situations where i stick up for myself always leads to tears after-the-fact. I should probably explore that in therapy.
Something tasty: Homemade biscuits and gravy. OMG.
Something i learned: A recipe on how to make excellent homemade fried pickles.
Something i am reading: A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin
Something happening around the house: Lake weekend is an endless cycle of sit around and eat followed by bouts of boating and swimming. Repeat.
Something i am thinking: I love seeing how my cousins have grown. They are so grown up in many ways.
Something i am looking forward to: More swimming and boating and laughing. And then it will be nice to get home into our own bed.
Something random: The first dinner at the lake house, we made corn on the cob. So yummy. One of the kids walked in and said “Are there hot dogs inside of those?” “No…” He moved on through the room while the adults looked at each other in confusion. The only thing we can think of is that he must have thought they were a different type of corn dog.
Something planned: Another trip to the jumping rock, no doubt. The kids fling themselves off a rock that must be 30 feet high. The last time i jumped off it was 4 years ago, and i am officially too old for it these days.
Something captured: The expressions on these faces are priceless.
