“You’re lucky if you get time to sneeze in this goddam phenomenal world.” *

I am very grateful that daughter #1 came home for a whole nine days. She is one busy lady, as you know, and so for her to come home is a big deal.
But I guess in this “goddam phenomenal world” it is still a treat to sit on the couch and watch a lot of Buffy with your mother.
It is certainly a treat for me.
Besides celebrating her birthday,
we had beers at the Boathouse with the boy.

We watched our hometown parade.
KHS marching band–huzzah!
As usual, the Methodists were the coolest
We hung out with the church ladies
and we watched the hometown band perform at the hometown festival.
Andrew and Mark, we remember you when!
We went to church and afterwards we visited some old pals at Grant’s Farm.

We watched Rio Bravo (1959)
AND El Dorado (1966).
Yes, the apple does not fall far from this nerd tree. Thank goodness.

I’m glad you girls had a fun time! Your post makes me want to visit so much that I could almost overcome my loathing for travel. Almost.
p.s. your hometown parades are so much better than ours!
NERD TREE. I am lucky you’ll let me come home for 9 days and watch Buffy 🙂
Anytime. Any. Time. And that goes for daughter #2 as well! 😉
[…] Well, I’m back from ole St. Louis. I had just the best time. You can check out my instagram feed for all the pictures of donuts and beers. And you can read my mother’s posts about what we did here and here. […]
