I had a very relaxing day here at the house today.  I got up and got the smoker ready and spent the majority of the day smoking a couple slabs of ribs.  All three of the kids were at work and the wife went on a shopping spree for the girls to purchase them back to school clothes.  In between the times I had to tend to the smoker I spent some time cleaning up some files on my laptop and removing unused programs to make room for more pictures.  I even got to watch some pre recorded Perry Mason shows to help pass the time.

Tomorrow will be spent much the same way except I have plans on doing some riding tomorrow being that I won’t have to be tending to a smoker.  The kids will be at work again and the wife will be doing some grocery shopping.  Nothing exciting but hopefully another relaxing day before the work week begins on Monday.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Fire Trucks, HDR, Photography, Reflections, Senior Trip

I’m not sure why but today has been a day of reflection. Maybe it’s because my son went back to college yesterday, maybe it’s because we’re taking my girls to a college tour on Saturday or maybe it’s because my dad turned 77 yesterday.  If feels like I’m on a fast roller coaster and there’s no way to get off.  Everything is changing so fast.

We started planning my daughter’s senior trip today.  It just seems like last year we were planning my son’s senior trip.  Well, it was my wife’s and I 20th wedding anniversary that turned into a senior Disney Cruise.   It just happened to be during the same time.  But anyway, I can’t believe that my daughters will be graduating this year.

To think my son will be graduating college in December is yet another thing that I can’t believe is happening so soon.  It just seems like yesterday that we dropped him off for his first year. Where has the time gone?

To think that my mom and dad are in their seventies is another thing that I can’t believe.  I’m blessed to have them both still around.  Many people my age can’t say that.  We’ve gone through so much together and yet it doesn’t seem like they should be that old.

In some ways I wished that there was a pause button so I can stop just long enough to catch my breath.  There is still so much I want to do and see with my kids and my parents I just hope we all are here long enough to do them.
