He's Gone Again

My Mike went back to Colorado yesterday about
noon. He left two crying girls standing in the door
watching him drive away. Jaylan and I were both
boo hooing. Poor kid, she cried for probably a half
hour. She kept telling me she really needed to go
with Papaw, she kept saying, "Mimi, we get along
so good and I promise I won't be any trouble!
Please pack my clothes and tell my Mom I went
with Papaw."

I talked to Mike about midnight last night and
he was at the airport getting ready to leave for
the motel. He had to deal with the police before
leaving, someone had hit the company truck
while parked at the airport and he had to file
a report on it. He sounded very tired and
worn out.

We are getting some of Hurricane Gustav's
moisture today. It's been raining since
about 8 this morning and it doesn't look like
it's going to quit any time soon. It's been a
steady rain, not too hard. I'm hoping most
of it will soak in and not run off.

Our BBQ over the weekend was a great
success. Mike loved having all the
company and visiting with his family. The
Grandmonsters loved giving Papaw his
Birthday Cake! They were sooo excited!

All the kids played on the trampoline, in
the pools, and fished while the adults
visited and caught up on family news.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy
themselves. And the food.... oh my gosh!!
We had enough food left to feed an
army when we got done. I was afraid
I'd run out of meat, so I kept buying and
buying it.... we ended up having everyone
pack a goodie bag to take home with them
and still had food left. Oh well, better too
much than not enough.

I'm worn out today, draggy as all get out.
I think it's the weather. I keep wanting
to lay down and take a nap or watch tv...
if I start watching tv I'll take a nap anyway.

My 4-wheeler mechanic just called, he's on
his way to pick up our 4-wheeler for some
repairs. When he gets done with it, I should
have brakes once again. lol I learned how
to down shift to get stopped.... out of
necessity! lol

Take care!! TTFN
