Vacation
I’m heading out of town tomorrow morning, and I’ll be gone for over a week. I’m not sure if I’ll be posting during the week. I may try to post from time-to-time, but no guarantees on the matter. My plans are to leave tomorrow around 9:30ish for Stinnett, TX where my great aunt and uncle live. My other great aunt and uncle live near Houston, TX, and they are going to be in Stinnett for a family get-together. It’s just good timing that I’ll be in town. Both great uncles are my grandfather’s brothers. I see the family in Stinnett every year or two as I pass through, but I’ve not seen the relatives from Houston since my grandfather’s funeral in 2002. It’s been 5 years, which is way too long. I’m really looking forward to seeing them, but I’m only going to be there for Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. I wish I could stay longer, but that just won’t happen.
I have to get on the road Sunday morning to head from Stinnett to Von Ormy, TX to see my mother and step-father. They just got back off of vacation, so they won’t be able to take any time off while I’m in town, but that’s ok. I’ll still get to visit with them for a few days during the mornings and evenings. Things will be good, and I’m going to enjoy my time with them.
On Wednesday, I’ll be leaving Von Ormy late morning to head to Midland, TX, which is my hometown. While there I’ll be seeing my grandmother, father, step-mother, two little brothers, my nieces, and a a handful of friends. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone. On Saturday, there is an SCA event that I’m going to be attending. It’s been forever since I’ve done anything in the SCA, and I hope that my skills aren’t too rusty when it comes to fighting. Everyone else has been training, fighting in tournaments, and honing their skills while I’ve been sitting on my ass doing nothing. I’m sure that I’m going to get thumped, but I’m still going to enjoy it.
When Sunday morning rolls around, I’ll be back on the road to head back home. It’s going to be a long day of driving to get back home, but I’ve done it before. I’ll be able to do it again.
I’ll have my laptop with me, so I’ll be doing some writing while I’m on the road. If I don’t post while I’m on vacation, you’ll have a long post from me on May 7th when I return.
