Journal entry for the weekend of May 14-15, 2016

I'm extremely thankful for my family to let me sleep in today.  I didn't deserve it because I should have been better about getting ready to leave for our weekend trip to Middle Georgia.  Heck, I did not even pack my bags just yet.

I had to hustle in order to get my family and I out the door.  Once I did, we got some gas and some free sodas over at the local RaceTrac.  Once we did that, we took to the road down I-75 on down to the perimeter.  Along the way, I got a few good pictures of SunTrust Park under construction.  I got a view of what it looks like on the flyover ramp of I-75SB going onto EB I-285.  I can't wait to go see a game there next year.  I'll be pulling for my Braves by then.

My family and I got to Sandersville after a few hours of driving on the road.  My wife took on the load of driving as I was sitting and reading.  I caught up on my book "Live from New York" and got half-way through it.  I also got to listen to the BIG 40 countdown from this week in 1985 on SiriusXM channel 8.  I love the 80's and I love 80's music.  I never quite finished the countdown to number one though.  I'll have to look up who finished number one.  My guess on that is Madonna's "Crazy for you."  What do you know, I guessed correctly!!!!!

I had a quiet time with my family during dinner on Saturday Night.  There were no brothers and their families for our gathering of pork chops, rice, and peas with my wife, mother-in-law, and two sons.  We all ate it up.  My son Blake can tear up some meat, let me tell you.  He ate up some steak on Mother's day and he's gonna be a champion meat-eater before too long.

My boys were hard at play at my mother-in-law's and there were times they were hard at play at my father-in-law's this weekend.  I think Blake was happy to be in pictures with me.  I love my boys.  I love being a daddy and playing with them.  I think I have more fun playing with kids toys than they do.  It goes that way sometimes I guess.

I'll be back for more again later this week as I get through another day at work.
