Completely Easy Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Why Marriage is not so hard if you don't mind working your tail off

I think I suck at a lot of things.

Like listening.  I don't listen well. I always intend to listen when the speaker opens their mouth, but then sounds start coming out which remind me of something else, and soon thoughts pop into my head about weeds, tomatoes, Popsicles, and toilets and before you know it, the speaker is like, "Right? WELL. . . .WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?"  And I haven't a damn clue.

Yesterday at 6:03 am I groggily asked Warwick if mosquitoes were rampant outside, because I was about to go weed my vegetable garden.  He would know, because the previous day, he mowed the lawn.

"Nope. No mosquitoes." He said.

So I walked into my closet, and grabbed a pair of  long black running pants that Warwick gave me for Christmas in 1997, a Captain Morgan's Whiskey holey t-shirt, a long grey sweater with not enough buttons, and white polka dot goulashes.

I promptly put it on, and started to head out the bedroom door.

Hi.
It's me again.
I'm having a bit of a day.

Sweet Summer Coleslaw and a Summer Trip: Gator Country, Beaumont TX

Last weekend I found out that I am not yet the person I hoped I could be.
The person who although scared mindlessly senseless, still makes good choices.  Still looks out for the welfare of others. Still forges on with bravery and class.

Yeah. That ain't me yet.
And this is the story of that.

We took a little trip to Beaumont TX, where my sweet Bella played softball in the state tournament.

Gardening is a lot like raising kids.
It seems like a really great idea.
You get super excited, and spend lots of money.
Find spots in your life to plant, sow and reap.
And you do.
And it looks lovely.
