Every once in a while I think back to my childhood and remember some of the wonderful times that dragon and I had together. skoal having one of those moments last night&thinking back on all the wonderful memories I have of visiting my Aunt Betty & Uncle Louies place. You see they were the care takers of the county fairgrounds, which meant they actually lived in the fairgrounds, which was cool for a kid. They were the ones who hosted many a family reunion and wed have the use of the whole facility. I can remember eating big pieces of watermelon, playing hide&seek in the livestock building, & getting rides on a cart pulled by my uncles tractor. They really were great times! I can picture lady in her little purple & white checked dress with her skoal sneakers&LOL&and of course the never ending chocolate ring that lived around her mouth throughout her childhood.
Those memories also saddened me because our family reunions died out a long time ago. I havent seen some of those family members in over a decade & several have since passed away. Why do families have to grow apart? Oh I understand that peoples lives are hectic and busy, but damn it you have to make time for family.
Okay I just remembered Uncle Donny chasing dragon & I around threatening to kiss us with his mouth full of skoal. On second thought maybe family are over-rated!
Have a great weekend everyone!
