T-A-C-K-Y

Adam and I went to the pool today after church. I thought it opened at 12 so we traipsed out there at 12:15 only to find out it opens at 1. So we came home for a little bit. Anyway, we were practically the first ones in and then some others came. I was talking to this mom--nice with three kids--and then one of her friends came in . Lovely, nice, country-club afternoon. All is well. Then, to my amazement, bothtof them light up their cigarettes. Right there! Cancer sticks! I couldn't believe it. True, Lakewood is not like those country clubs you see on TV, but I thought they shouldn't have lit up there, especially in the KIDDIE pool area. Yuck! I asked the lifeguard later if there was a policy on this and she was unsure. I'm voting that they're should be. It's 2008. There's my rant for the day and according to my friend Hollie, everyone is allowed one "ugly" moment a day. Nuff said.

I feel like a broken record, but it was another late night for us. We left out for Louisville about 1:30. This gave us time to shop and eat before the plane came in. We actually got to see Kim for a few minutes. She came by J. Alexander's where we were eating.

Adam was excited about seeing the airport and airplanes. He enjoyed it so much. It was almost time for the guys to be there when we saw Danny Miller, an elder in our church. He works at Fruit of the Loom and had been in Honduras for the week. After talking to him, we found out that the guys from 3-2-1 Improv were on the same flight as him! We waited a while and then Bucky went downstairs with Adam to the luggage in case we had missed them. We didn't think we had, but you never know. This left me to wait at the top. I remembered the one guy from when I saw them at KCC, when the group was called CPR. Sure enough, here came three guys and I walked up and asked if they were 3-2-1 Improv. They said they were and I replied, "Sweet sugar!" which they thought was hilarious! We all gave high fives like we were best friends. We had such a good time with them. They wanted to eat so we took them to Texas Roadhouse in E-town. The three of us just got dessert while they had supper. Long story short, it was almost 11:30 before we got to the house. Adam fell asleep at about Columbia and fell asleep. He didn't get up until after 7.

We've been out and about today--library, Kroger, Kmart, post office. We have a birthday party at 4. It's supposed to be a pool party. Hope the weather cooperates.

We have lots to do this afternoon when Bucky gets home from the Dad's dad event. He leaves for camp after first service tomorrow.

I won't make you read about our life anymore. I know you're exhausted. :)

Mom, Dad, and Aunt Margaret came by today. They returned from their trip yesterday. They brought Adam lots of goodies from their shopping. What a lucky kid! We took them to lunch at Giovanni's and then they went back to Somerset and Mom and Dad headed to Cynthiana.

Adam and I ran a few errands at lunchtime. I got some boxes at the board to use for Bible School. I'm supposed to use lots of boxes to make a "city." I'm glad to get them early so I can work on it some next week.

Adam and I played outside tonight. He LOVES watering the flowers and shrubs. He's also been playing a lot in the dirt with his trucks and tractors. He gets filthy! We also did our daily running. This kid can RUN! Anyone who knows him, knows this is true. I call him a captive set free once he gets outside and on the lane and blacktop.

We had a nice supper tonight. We ordered from Schwan's recently. We've enjoyed the ice cream and the black angus burgers, and tonight we tried the fish. It's called Blue Lake. Bucky's mom and dad used to get it often he says. I thought it was delicious. Adam didn't eat any at suppertime. He was pooping--and was successful! Instead, he's eating Frosted Flakes for supper right now. He worked up an appetite. Why Frosted Flakes--especially from a mom who prides herself on "healthy" cereal. One day at Dollar General, Adam saw the box with Tony the Tiger and told me he liked them. I figured he'd maybe had them at daycare. Anyway, he does like them. He calls them "Great" since Tony puts his finger in the air and says, "They're great!"

We are going to Louisville tomorrow afternoon to pick up the comedy group that's coming here for the Father's Day event. We said we'd make it a family day and all go. Adam and I will be in Louisville again on Wednesday to see Aunt Kim. Yeah!

Today was Adam's first day at daycare for a while. He shed a few tears, but was fine in no time. He had a good day. He was so excited that he got to play outside with his friends. Ms. Erica said that his face got red as a beet a few mintues before I arrived. He needs to go to the bathroom. I wish he didn't struggle with pooping so much. What's a mom to do?

I had a CAT team meeting today. We are still trying to get ready for our trainings this summer. There is lots to do and today we really got some things taken care of. We are meeting again on the 23rd.

Tonight is church and Amazing Race. We don't have much going on tomorrow that I know of. I'd like to go to the pool if the weather cooperates.

We took our first trip to Lakewood's pool today. Adam had a great time. We were there from 10:30-2:00. He swam in the little pool and the big pool. The temperature was great! He's down for a nap now and then we're going to the fair tonight. We want to let him ride rides and then there's also the demolition derby that EVERYONE goes to. I hope it's not too hot. It's been a fun Monday!

Kim is here! She got here this afternoon and she and I went shopping for a bit while Bucky and Adam napped. We ate supper--chicken kabobs and asparagus we did on the grill--and then we've played inside and outside. It's nice to have her here. We've laughed and laughed.
Church tomorrow and then Adam will go to the Coe's while I'm at a meeting and Bucky does a golf outing with the church.

Another late night for us. We didn't get home until after 11. Adam and I went over to Somerset to Aunt Margaret's. Mom, Dad, Kim, Cathy, Dwight, Nicole, and Tyler were there as well. We ate and then swam for 2 1/2 hours. Adam had a ball. He is a water dog. He looked cute in his new trunks. Kim is coming to Jamestown sometime today for a visit and she'll spend the night and got back to Louisville after church tomorrow.

Bucky is golfing this morning. He went to a party at the state park last night--Whitney Grider's 16. He said he wants to go the fair tonight to see the demolition derby. We probably won't go since the rides aren't open. We all three may go Monday.
