365 Day Photo Challenge, 4th of July, Alabama, Cycling, Grill, Kids, Lowes, Off Day, Ribs, Road Shoes, Smoker, Working

Spent the day with my wife of 24 years today while on my day off from work.  I really needed this time alone with my wife.  We went out to lunch, just my wife and I.  My two daughters were at work and we left my son at home with his Netflix.  It’s the first time that my wife and I had a “date” in many years.  Everytime we go out on our anniversary we always end up taking the kids.  We always enjoy the company of our kids but there comes a time when you need alone time with just the wife.

We went to Olive Garden, my wife’s favorite restaurant.  After we ate we went to Lowes and I picked up a smoker so I can smoke some ribs tomorrow and then we went to the cycle shop and I picked up my new road shoes.

After arriving back at home, I put my smoker together, put the new cleats on my new road shoes and spent some quality time with the girls once they got home from work.  The girls showered, ate supper and went to bed.  Not too much quality time there but I’ll take what I can get these days.

As with the canoe’s pictured, life can get confusing sometimes and it may seem that it will take some time to get untangled.  My advice is to take your time, have fun, spend some time with your spouse and your kids.  To me that’s the most important part of life.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, daughters, Girls, Shopping, Weekend, Working

I feel very blessed to have finally it to this weekend.  I thought this day would not end.  I do not have to go back to work until Monday.  Tomorrow will be spent taking my wife out to lunch being that I had to work late on the day of our anniversary.  Afterwards I’m going to search for a smoker to smoke some ribs on Saturday.

I will not be seeing much of my twin daughters this weekend and that doesn’t set well with me. They both will be working.  They are only 17 and I really wished I could have talked them into not working their last summer before their senior year.  But, one daughter loves to shop and thinks she has got to go shopping EVERY WEEKEND and my wife simply complies to her wishes instead of arguing with her.  One thing that I don’t understand, and maybe it’s because I’m a male but why would you need to purchase a dress and wear it to one event and not be able to wear it to another event two weeks later.  My daughters excuse is because people may have already seen her in that other dress. Really?  So her closet if filled with dresses that she’s only wore once and more than likely will not wear again because someone else has already seen her in it.  The do shop well though.  She will find a dress that normally sells for $160 and find it on sale for $30 bucks.  Both my daughters are very smart shoppers and who ever marries them will be happy for that.
