I have two topics I want to discuss. One I’ll go ahead and discuss today and the other tomorrow. I’ll be so so smarty pants and go ahead and type up that post today also and have it ready to go in the morning. Aren’t you curious now as to what I want to talk about tomorrow?
Well, too bad that will have to wait because today I’m going to talk about my travels, or at least our trip up to see my husband’s grandmother and my daughter’s great grandmother. It was their first time meeting and it was a huge success!
Anna did so great. She just fell in love with her Mema. It was a lot of fun watching them interact. And I have to say, I want to be just like that when I’m 91 years old! Mema did not hesitate to get down in the floor and play with her Angel Baby on her level. Man, I need to get myself in better shape and start paying closer attention to my health because like I said, I want to be like that when I grow up!
Even after the eleven (yes eleven) hour drive up, Anna was so alert and playful. I tell ya, I’m a proud Mama! She did so good. She never fussed once. Well, there was that one time, but it was because she got hungry and we didn’t have her food ready. Seriously though, I couldn’t have asked for a better little rider.
The local community has small, laid back town feel, mainly because that's exactly what it is. There's not a lot of big stores and businesses. We stopped of in the middle of town at a little craft fair where I lucked up and bought a new purse. I'll post about it one day soon as well. It's really cute, one of kind purse.
However, there was one thing I was disappointed with during this trip was the lack of support for parents. It was a rare thing to find a public restroom that offered any type of assistance for parents. It was disheartening to have to take Anna out to our car to change her diaper because there was no where else to do so. I mean, come on folks, it's 2009. Get yourselves into the current century!
All right, enough belly aching that point. I'll leave you with a few comments about the photo in the post. I took this shot from the front year of Mema's house looking out across the soybean crop waiting to be harvested. The view struck me so I snapped a few shots. In this one you can see the old oak tree that marks the site of the old homestead and even further back in the shot is the private air strip. I have a lot more images from the trip that I'll try to get uploaded to my various Flickr Accounts soon. I just snagged this one real quick because I felt the post deserved an image.
OK, enough from me for now. I'll be back later.
