My 4th of July weekend

I had such an amazing weekend. For the first time in a long time, I relaxed. I didn’t cook up the entire house nor did I over do anything. I cooked simple but delicious, had enough everything for the 30 + people at the house. The string beans were off the chain, bake beans with my special touch wouldn’t stay in the pan and the seafood pasta salad was gone in 60 seconds. I also made turkey burgers (with my own hands, nothing in a box), beef hamburgers, Nathan’s hot dogs, ribs and chicken. All seasoned to perfection.

Even though the food was to die for, it was the time spent at my home that made me so happy. All the neighbors at the house, drinking and eating and what we do best talking mess to each other. It’s wonderful to see all the happy marriages and families come together at my home. I feel blessed to know each and every one of them. I got to chill with my cousins and had people to play Mario Brothers with me.

Roxy and Jojo loved all the attention but I think they were happier when all the noise was gone. They didn’t eat any of their food because they were so excited. I’m sure they are at peace knowing it comes and goes.

I had a few hiccups this weekend but all seems to be okay. I love me and knowing I can over come anything is what keeps me going. I do have that one aspect of my life missing but I’m sure I will be complete one day. I love him and he is not here. I will love him until I’m able to hold him in my arms and then show him what real love is supposed to feel like. My blessings are soon to come, I just know it.

Getting back at 2am on Monday morning does not feel so bad because I had the best time of my life. Can not wait to get home and have that fun full time. Davenport I love you as you all love me.
