I have 3 words for you people...SANFORD AND SON

Yes friends and family, this is our riding lawnmower that I finally documented in action. It comes complete with 2 bungies to hold the collectable cover on super tight and all Melton family households are able to share it. Kidding aside this is a great machine and I think the hoodless look says it all. I admit that I actually enjoy driving it and mowing my own grass from time to time. It's very relaxing and therapeutic if you can get past the occasional honks and bizarre stares that passers by make. I hope everyone has had a delightful week and the routine of life and schoolwork is treating you well. Peace!

Moon Lake Fun Continues

In June, we went back to Moon Lake and took some friends with us to enjoy the lake activities. Those that were able to make it were our neighbors Patsy and Kevin Brown and their children, Garrett and Mary Helen; Allison and McLeod Meek and their kiddos, Deren and Wilkes, Lisa Cookston and her babies, Lucy and Cavitt; Margie and Alan Barger; and Cyndi and Tony Saia who were down the way at their place so it was wonderful to be able to all get together at such a fun location. The kids had a ball and played really well together. This adult crew can always have a good time so it was indeed a fun gathering. Floyd IV was on his trip with Moms and Grandaddy to Ft. Knox, Kentucky to Big Floyd's Vietnam Batallion's reunion. We missed him indeed but he was able to get back in time to enjoy some of the lake.

Moon Lake Late May

The Melton family kicked our summer off with a birthday trip of sorts to Moon Lake. May was a big birthday month for us. I celebrated mine on May 7th in Memphis as my dear friend Elizabeth Barnwell took me to see Nora Jones at the Orpheum. Anne Craig's birthday was May 26 and two of her dear friends also share May birthdays. Chloe Tyner and Elizabeth Pedigo are all May girls. May girls are very special!
Here are a few pictures from the weekend. The Meltons, Tyners, Pedigos and Connells all gathered for a good time.

SUMMER RECOLLECTION......it may take a while because the summer was slammed packed!

Well, playtime is over! Back in the saddle again for me as I enter another delightful school year. There is much to blog about from the Melton summer of 2010 so I will just have to take it in stride and do what I can when I can. First up....Moon Lake trips...stay tuned!
