June is Gone Forever

I realized earlier in the week that I didn't post in June. In June the family gathered for our annual reunion. It was a small group, and much more enjoyable than usual. There was some talk about doing the next one at Sonia's house on the lake with just the 1st cousins. Aunt Irene looked great for 96 or so although very petite. I got stuck with the two big bags of stuff for another year. I resent that.

Yesterday I bought Korn's Greatest Hits CD. I love it. I think I may have shocked the husband when I came out of the mall, jumped in the truck, ripped open the package with my teeth, stuck it in to play, turned it up reasonably loud and 'Word Up' came on, Korn style. It sounded so good. And of course I had to skip to track three. I wished I was with someone of my own caliber for awhile. Someone to headbang with. I felt a bit restrained.

Tonight the husband invited me to Outback for dinner. Maybe Korn had an effect on him? We ate in comfortable silence. The steak was good. The bread and butter superb. On the way home I mentioned Korn and asked him if he was offended last night by the music. He said he was a bit shocked and wondered how my mom would react to that music. Then he imagined his sister, the devout Catholic, listening to it. We laughed, but I still have a funny feeling inside. It is the first time that I ever stopped to think that I may offend my husband with my actions. hum...

It's also been two weeks or more since I ran out of anti-depressant herbs. I've been doing o.k., I think. Maybe this wondering about my actions is related to no drugs. Come to think about it, that Kangaroo in the picture at Outback kept staring at me.

We drove through the old neighborhood in League City on our way home and talked with Doug, our neighbor. He filled us in on the goings on. Our big tree has been cut down, the eve on the house is rotting, and the house next door sold for $135,000. B almost s.

Before we drove through the neighborhood, we parked and walked past the old classic cars gathered on Main Street. We saw a Porche (Toy Jet), a Hot Rod Lincoln, a Camero SS, and many more cool cars that were loud as they pulled in.

Work has been uneventful.

B has the yard and house looking very nice and neat.

We watched fireworks at the school yard with Raun, Ron, and Tiffany. Kyle went to be with his Mom and Josh was a whinney baby so Judy took him home. We saw three large sharks and a stringray on the dike.

We went to Turkey Creek, Louisiana and met Put and Liz at Jill's new vacant house. Put and B mowed the big lawn front and back, then it rained real hard. A big tree fell on three mobil homes down the road and demolished them. No one was home at the time. We slept on a blow-up mattress. Put slept on a lawn lounge chair, very uncomfortable. Liz brought a twin bed and Put set it up for her, she slept like a baby.

I've rambled enough. We'll see what July brings.
