I enjoyed hanging with the team from Smyrna’s Sign Language Studios and some in the area’s American Sign Language community at an ASL meet up at Lee Victory Park in May—a fun day at the park.
The family got to spend a little time playing outside this month, enjoyed a Memorial Day family picnic in the park ourselves, and the boys had a successful and fun camping excursion to scenic Lake Barkley during a beautiful weather window in a very rainy May.
“Don’t touch a frog that has two colors, it may be poisonous.” Beckett dropping some more wisdom.
We spent a little time with the classic NES recently. The old beast still fires up. Sometimes it requires a heavy beating to knock it back into reality–those who dislike violence should probably turn their heads during this savage assault upon the nearly 40-year-old machine—but, small miracle, it eventually starts back up, just like it’s 1988!
Shout-out to the pollo borracho from Nacho’s, the calzones from Marina’s, the red velvet cake doughnuts with the cream cheese frosting from Donut Country, the Hawaii roll from Wako, The fried chicken from Champy’s, the Couture’s Kitchen cheesecakes, the all-you-can-eat fried catfish, country-style ribs and country fried steak on the buffet at Emma’s down in Manchester . . . I think I just realized why I’ve not been losing weight . . .
The fam did some eating out at the Busy Bee Cafe this past month, as well. Good stuff.
Alright, have a nice month, socialize, support small business and creative people, get in nature, cook something new, take a hike, create something, laugh with the family, stay joyful.
Remember, your words matter. Try and use them to educate, inspire, encourage and spark joy.
Can’t steal my joy!
