Day 7

Day 7......June, 11th..........

Mom had to go to the hospital where she volunteers a couple of days a week. So Dad and I spent the morning getting ready for Jim and Vicky to stop by on their way to family reunion camping. By getting ready I mean we cleaned the house, washed the laundry, went food shopping, washed the car, redeemed our soda cans, and baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies from scratch......... YEAH RIGHT!!!!!

We spent the entire morning looking up video's on "you tube" of Jeff Dunham and all his cast of characters......Sanata Annana......Jose` Jalapeno`(on a stick).......and Walter....plus so many more video's it was crazy---------(hey, maybe we should take a shower and get cleaned up since Jim and Vicky will be here in any minute----ok, just one more.....)

We managed to be cleaned up about 3 seconds before they got here. Nothing like some good ol' Ellis timing :-)~

We had a great visit and lunch with Jim and Vicky, when I do get homesick, its not just for my folks and brothers and their families........I miss my extended family that I grew up with. We were all so close and we did so much together; holidays, birthdays, weekends, and of course camping! I think that I was in high school before I realized that not everyone took vacations with their extended family too. It was like that movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but its more like "My Big Ol' Redneck Family"......good times.

Only 2 more days to cover on my trip so stay tuned!
