With ALL of the rain this past week, the humidity was high enough today that when the sun would peep through the heavy clouds, it was just like being a tropical rainforest......whew!!! Several thousand extra people were in F'town today...and will be here tomorrow.....as the annual Azalea Festival got underway.......and they were all sweltering in the wet grass/mud on the Festival grounds today.
Darrel and Dr. Jeni with their two daughters....and Mike's daughter, Rachel.....arrived LATE last night. Then after lunch today, the 1st Lady's mother and sister arrived for a couple of days. Soooo, TheHowserHouse was rockin' and rollin' most of the day today. We went to the carnival grounds of the Festival for a couple of hours this afternoon, but the heat/humidity was not kind to the younger girls and they did not even fuss when we decided to return to our house up on Buford Heights.
The rest of the afternoon and evening were simply spent in visiting, controlling the three granddaughters, and helping the 1st Lady's mother find her way around and through our house. She is almost totally blind and with the new furniture arrangement, as well as the new rooms, she had a bit of trouble locating everything in our house.
Today was not only Cinco de Mayo, but it was also the 1st Lady's sister's birthday, so we had cake and candles, along with the singing of the tradition Happy BD song. Prior to the cake we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Margaritas and Chips and Mexican Salsa(which I brought back from our winter trip). Somehow....the drinks and chips were not nearly as good as the ones we drank soooooooooo FREQUENTLY while in Rio Grande Valley and in Arizona!!!!! I am ready to start counting the days until we can leave to return for another three-four months this winter!!!!!!!!
And sooooo, with kids running through the house......."Granny" trying to find her way around the house......and the celebration of Cinco de Mayo........
Life is Great.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
