And A Good Time Was Had By All
We're finally home, full as ticks and worn to a frazzle. It were hot. The food was great. If you're ever driving through Marshall on Tuesday or Thursday, and you see a little roadside stand selling BBQ sandwiches, stop & load up. The cook's a friend of my brother-in-law, and he has the best BBQ this side of Memphis. He does catering too. Wooo-ie, so good it'll make you want to slap your momma.
Me 'n Bubs had a squirt gun fight & chased each other through the sprinkler while the girls cranked the ice cream and Mike took a ba-zillion pictures. My daughter's best friend stopped by with her 2 month old baby. Bubs wasn't too thrilled about the strange "be-be" being there....he doesn't even like to share Ma with Pa, let alone some dumb old baby he's never seen before that everyone's making a big fuss over. He got quiet & looked really sad, so he & I colored in his new coloring book and just ignored that dumb old baby until it left.
Traffic was a bear....lots of tourists from states where the roads apparently have no curves. It's really frustrating to be caught behind someone who drives 30 around the curves and 80+ in the few places one can pass. I call 'em "Bazooka Drivers", cuz they make me wish I had one. Or maybe two.
Anyway, we're exhausted and headed for an early bedtime. Hope y'all had a great weekend too.

I know those types of drivers well. I also dislike those that go at least 10 MPH below the speed limit on the straights and then have to break for the curves. These types of drivers are really special when there are no passing zones or traffic is coming the other way when you get to a passing zone!

It was so frustrating that after getting trapped for the umpteenth time behind one I asked Mike "Damn tourists! Couldn't they just mail their money here and stay home?"
He said as bad as the state needed the money, he hoped they Fed-Ex'ed it.
