Well, on Tennessee dirt....and just as I turned in to our road Vandy is up in the dashboard......whining...and this song comes on
https://youtu.be/42uphHWxmFU
Yeah, back at my roots.......the same road all my ancestors walked before me......and today I will walk. Things are the same, but different. Time changes, everything continues...and it reminds me of that song Turn, Turn, Turn.........so true. Life goes on....famous words of many, but also one of my favorite poets, Robert Frost.....Life does go on. After we are all gone, life will continue and go on. I'm depressing this morning, huh? Okay, well on to life....you know, it's for the living....truly.
Here's to ours. Below are some good times had by our family friends ......The Browns. Did I tell ya....they are moving to Tennessee (at least for a year lol- sound familiar?) They are gonna try it.....they landed such great jobs in wonderful school districts. Morgan will be a secondary English teacher (what her degree is actually in) and Joe will be a PE teacher in this high end Franklin school district. I guess they are all that........:) :) :) Cheers and I hope it is everything you thought it would be and more!
Been extremely busy lately with painting this house and friends and family........haven't had much time for conversing with this blog....oh yeah, and school starts back here in a couple of weeks.....can we say, SHORT SUMMER? Oh, well, Today I will trim the goats and sheep's hooves, go for a run, and complete many errands. I think the kids have more coming over today....alas, busy days ahead.
Oh, yeah....I turned 40 Sunday and my mama, along with my family, had a wonderful dinner and surprise birthday party for me!!!!! It was so thoughtful and such a wonderful evening with family and friends. XOXO
xo, S
