Are You a Traveling Man?

 We just got back from our annual trip to Oklahoma and Texas.  It was so nice to get away with Sweety and the Bean.  While we were out there, I did something different and didn't visit friends.  We were only in Oklahoma for a few days and it was stressing me out to figure out how to see who and when so I just didn't.  We stayed in a cabin and just chilled out around the campground.  It was good. 

We did go clean up Mom's cemetery plot.  Huge shout out to Sweety for doing all of the work in 108 degree weather.  He set me up in the shade with a chair and water to supervise.  I wish we didn't live so far away so we could do it more often.  A friend and her husband weed eat it and tidy it the best they can when the cemetery has their annual cleaning day in May.  So all the weeds were dead, we just had to clean out and throw stuff away.  It ended up looking nice again.

Bean got to visit her first online friend.  She met this kid playing games online almost a year ago and they text and FaceTime every day.  We picked him up for lunch so they got to hang out for a couple of hours.  Bean was so nervous about meeting him that she just giggled and shook for a good while.  My nephew (formerly known as my niece) said that Bean was just like her Mama, meeting internet friends.  I guess Bean does take after me.

My nephew and his wife are staying with us for a little while.  While they get housing and schooling sorted out.  I'm loving having them here.  Sometimes I'll look at my nephew and remember that he's a grownup with a wife and a job and it makes me feel really old.  I'm super proud of him.  He got a job down here pretty quickly as did his wife.  They have two doggos so we have a house full right now.  They are well behaved so it's not bad.  One of the dogs has a real issue with Sweety though and loses his everloving shit when he sees or hears Sweety.  I told them that I think their dog needs an exorcism because when they take him somewhere out of the house, the whole mood is different. 

Oh, y'all!  I did something fun while we were traveling!  I took Chi Chi 2.0 on the trip and took her photo in different places.  I think I'm going to continue it at home too.  She can go to lunch and sightseeing with me.  She has a Facebook and an Instagram .  I couldn't decide which platform that I wanted to use so they both have the same stuff.
