Rainy Picnic

Every first weekend in June is a tradition for the BF's family to have a picnic on the side of the road in the middle of the country. This was my....um....third year? This year, it rained. Which cooled it off, then made it hotter. The good thing is that the sun wasn't out that much, so it didn't get too bad. My glasses did get a little foggy, though, when I started playing around with Katie-bug (that's what I call her anyway). She is one of two siblings that one of the BF's sisters lost. The state took them away from her, so now one of his other sisters have taken the two in....Katie and Titus. They are SO sweet! They just have had a hard life and need someone to really love on them and care for them. Katie is two and Titus is three and a half. They are such cuties! I feel so sad for them!

Anyway! The picnic was fun, even though we had to run from the rain, sitting in our cars, having to turn on the engines to run the air because it was so hot. We eventually had to give up and leave. When we first got there, though, it wasn't too bad. I took the opportunity to use that time, before anyone else got there, and took a walk down the "road less traveled" and took some pictures.

Once everyone got there, I started taking more pictures....

And a closing self-portrait. I look like a tree-hugging hippie! Haha! I guess its fitting though, beings Bonnaroo is this coming weekend. Alas, I am not one of the chosen few who got asked to work or chosen to get a free ticket, so I will not be going. :( This is the year I wanted to go. Tenacious D, Steve Martin, Stevie Wonder, JayZ, even a Christian band, Needtobreathe! (For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, go to www.bonnaroo.com , this is my hometown, born and raised and still live).

That's about all for tonight. I should be in bed by now, but just got done watching Raw (yeah, I watch wrestling....sheesh) and now I am finishing up this blog and passing out! If the BF works tomorrow, the alarm will be going off at 4am. UGH! Ta ta for now!
