Tucker & Glenn

One thing about my sweet Daney boy–is that he is now, and has always been a Patriot. I believe we all are, in this family–but Dane especially.

So, when Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck came to town–of course we were there!

Tucker has been doing a month-long Live Tour with all sorts of amazing people.

Robert F Kennedy Jr., Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Russell Brand, Megyn Kelly and tons more. All sorts of awesome people with the same type of message– God, Family, Country.

We were the lucky ducks who got Glenn Beck right here in our neck of the woods.

If you’d like to see any or ALL of the wonderful interviews just go to Tuckercarlson.com and scroll down to the Live Tour. They are all there. Particularly loved Russell Brand and Charlie Kirk.

Summer Booths

We spent considerable time in the booths at the festivals this summer.

My boy hosted a booth for his work at most of the events in the county. It was tons of fun to go, just to be with him, so he didn’t have to sit there alone for hours on end.

We had a lot of Dippin’ Dots…a personal favorite–and tried tons of other food, most of which I was too busy eating, to even grab a picture. I know, I know….slow dowwwn…chew your foooood. I’m a work in progress.

Sometimes we had little imps visiting their daddy…

which, of course, is always delightful.

Another perk is finding the best homemade bread and salsa and jam and…candy! We found these incredible Swedish Fish without the red dye!! Dane and I bought a TON of them! Yum!

My memories of this summer will be full of the people I love…

surrounded by all the people they love.

We even have a new somebody–that we already love, and would very much like to keep.  

Hee hee!

Soldier Hollow Mud Run

For the former Bald Kid’s birthday, he wanted to do something particularly tough and manly. So he asked that every able and willing soul in our family do the Mud Run with him. It helped a ton that this event actually took place on his birthday. Slightly providential, I’d say.

All those brave folks converged on Soldier Hollow and ran through a bunch of muddy obstacles. Apparently you could get slightly muddy or terrifically muddy–depending on your particular vigor and/or love of or aversion to…ahem…mud.

Jillian and I sat this happy event out under a lovely canopy under the guise of taking care of the younger kids that couldn’t join in. Phew!

As you can see–if you wanted to stay crisp and clean–we were the lucky ones.

If you wanted to have a memorable, hilarious bonding experience–then we missed out on most of that. But we were there and were able to take the pictures that the muddy buddies couldn’t.

Happy Birthday Rhen.  If you didn’t already know–then there can be no question– you are SO loved.

Balloon Fest Morning

Fourth of July morning. It’s what we do–rain or shine. But THIS year, we had some new folks with us that we hope will be here for absolutely EVER. Our little wandering Texans has never really done this balloon thing with us.

We’re so glad to all be together again.

Happy Independence Day!!
