This weekend was like a whirlwind. We arrived a little late after dealing with hellacious traffic on the way up yonder East Texas. But better later than never. We had a great time catching up with relatives, and as always, enjoyed adding names to the HUGE genealogy chart.
The tragedy: I forgot to take the lemonade, and its additives.
Sometimes my mind is like a sieve. Especially when trying to get your eldest kid out the door on time.
So, I made do with Dr Pepper, and pie, and cookies, and more pie. Then Hubby’s cousins got the wonderful idea to go to the lake for a while. A bit of fishin’, a bit of tall tales, and a lot of family. Usually I tend to skip that part of the visit, mostly because my sisters-in-law tend to stay behind and that gives us a chance to visit, but this time none of them were able to make it, so I went to the lake with the kids and the cousins and one very big uncle. And then, my salvation:
You see that percentage number??? Yes, it took me an hour to drink one. ONE. HOUR. By then, my distaff cousins-in-law were well into their thirds. And thus, hilarity ensued.
All in all, it was a great weekend. We missed most of Hubby’s immediate family, but hopefully that will be remedied the following weekend.
Provided I don’t forget my lemonade again 😉

I find it amusing, and somewhat disheartening, that someone thought there was a need for the words “contains alcohol” on the label. I mean, come on, it’s made by Budweiser, it’s a “margarita with a twist.” Of course it has alcohol. What would be the point of its existence without alcohol. 😉
Glad to hear your weekend with the fam went well (lemonade fail notwithstanding).

It was good, thank goodness. Most of the drama was saved for after we left 😉

Glad you didn’t have to kill anyone. 😉

A lake on the family’s property. They call it a farm, but IMO it’s a ranch, because they have cattle and don’t plant anything 🙂

Yeah, I remember what a lightweight you are. Hey, I’ve got some serious beverages in the house if you ever come visit. Double Chocolate Vodka, and some 99 Bananas mix very well indeed!

I would rather forget that whole evening 😉
