OK, so who has time to do a daily blow by blow of their life? And on top of that, who really cares that much about someone else's life when theirs is probably just a full and interesting and THEY don't have to put it down in some obscure little cobweb-ridden corner of the tri-dub? That being said, I don't promise to do better cause we both know that's a lie. When something becomes work, we have a tendency to procrastinate( or at least I do), and nothing gets done, then we get behind and then there's stress. Well, I will promise that I'm not going to stress over this thing anymore. I want to keep it fun. I do enjoy it, but it is just too time consuming to keep up with it constantly.
Beth and I had a great vacation. We went to Washington, D.C. to see Suzy and had a blast!! It was her birthday and there was a party every night we were there. After 3 days, we left D.C. and headed down to Patrick County for a little family fun on the farm. Uncle Frank recently built a FANTASTIC pond on the old home place and between enjoying the pond and seeing all the family We had a wonderful time. I hate that I didn't get to see everyone (sorry about that) but there's just not enough time in the day to do all we want to do. I suffered a bout of gravy poisoning and spent most of the day on the porta-loue, but it was worth it. I haven't eaten like that in months! It's hard to feel good about eating anything fried, but no antibiotic, hormone free fried chicken makes me feel just fine. After leaving the pond, we drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway and camped out a night at the Linville Falls State Park. We finished off the last of our chicken and what few beers we had and called it a night. Next morning, Beth and I and Jack went hiking the falls. We started out on the strenuous trails (I mean how bad can it be? .3 and .7 miles). Well, suffice it to say, we're not up for strenuous trails just yet. Even Jack was dragging his tongue by the time we got back. I've also got to remember that no matter how far you hike, you MUST take water with you! I even had a camelbak at the site, but did I take it?? No-o-o-o!
By now, we were really anxious to get home so instead of taking the Parkway all the way down, we jumped off in Asheville and rode interstate. It saved us about an hour and a half and boy were we glad of it. We had a couple of days at the house and now we are on our way back from Salinas, CA with a load of lettuce. So the next time you eat Fresh Express bag o' salad, think about us..
