Bonfire Blast

The best way to get out of a funk, at least in my opinion is to have a family get together. So I decided a few weeks back to have a bonfire at my house for Charlie, Ivan and Austin’s birthday, plus any other October birthdays out there. It was great but there was one bad thing was that Diane, Mike &Kim, Jim & Shannon, Mercedez, Hunter, and Ryan, Kevin & Caryn and Grey were not there with us. The weather was absolutely B-E-A-U-tiful! Plus I got to finally meet my great niece, Anna Belle. Yes it was worth the wait. I know I am biased but she is so B-E-A-U-tiful! Herbie and Betty Mae’s family is so blessed.


Some highlights for me…


  • Bird walked over to my house in her new walker
  • Did Turtle ever find any turkey mites in the grass?
  • Seeing Anna Belle
  • Watching Mama drink Billy Ray’s wine and being blinded by his jacket
  • Happy birthday, Reggie you are Mama’s DD
  • The crew deep-frying turkey on the basketball court
  • Rod stoking the fire every 15 minutes
  • The professional throwing style of Bob Cat, pictures available on Ebay
  • Kids, kids, and more kids running amuck…oh the laughing and screaming
  • The fire surrounded by straw bails and chairs and a whole lot of conversations
  • The food! Thanks Kim, Mama, Sharon, and Ivan!
  • Doing a shot of Gran Patrone Platinum with Zane, Happy Birthday, Wow that was smoooooth, Holy Shit how much did you say that tequila costs?
  • Where did those kids get that toilet paper?
  • Survivor - Morgan Corner
    Kids find a cricket
    Jimmy G. crunched it then down it went
    So do you think Emily kissed him good night?
  • Stories, stories, stories and more among family and friends :)
  • Sitting on Dad’s glider, holding Turtle watching her look at everyone and the fire
  • Last ones left around the fire was Charlie, Keith, Ivan and me
