Welcome to another edition of Fly On The Wall group blog postings hosted by Karen of Baking In A Tornado. Today, three of us are welcoming you into our homes to see what a fly might see- or overhear!
It's that time of year again when the nosy fly brings all of his buddies around the backyard while we're trying to enjoy a little nature. Thank God for citronella candles and bug zappers! But we've still had a fun month so far. It was pure joy watching all the grandkids hunt for Easter eggs at the family brunch. As usual, my oldest daughter was the "hostess with the mostess." She has her mama's love for entertaining guests, and I am happy to pass down the baton.
This month, we also checked out the new Immersive Voyage Titanic Exhibit (y'all know I'm a freak for Titanic stuff!). I learn someting new every time I visit one of their exhibits and I always come home with a new Titanic Christmas tree ornament (yeah, I know--I already have too many. My kids think I need a Christmas ornament intervention).
A week after that, we went RVing with our neighbors at our favorite KOA spot in mid-Florida and had a blast. I'm talking stunning lakeside sunsets, cookouts, s'mores over the fire pit, swimming, and a hilarious (but slightly raunchy) card game that had us all laughing so loud we probably annoyed the other campers.
We're camping again this weekend further north (just the two of us) but wouldn't you know---after all this gorgeous weather in Florida, a heat wave is blasting through--just in time for us to sweat at the weekend outdoor music gigs. I'll be easy to spot on the camp lawn because I'll be the one with the double layer of neck fans!The best part of this month, however, is that we celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary! Hubs is my rock, my bestie, my ride-or-die, my mumu man, my partner in crime, and the love of my life. No one makes me laugh like he does. I am blessed to have him. "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be..." and it truly is.
The fly has been privy to many of my odd conversations with the hubs this month. Maybe I should use the fly swatter on my him......
"Come here---I want to show you something."
"No. I don't want to see anything you have."
"Don't you trust me?"
"Not since you knowingly let me sit in a patio chair with a broken leg."
"Okay, 'Hammy The Hobo', save some of that Easter Hormel ham for the rest of the family."
"Please stop calling me that."
"Well, your real name is Hamilton....so I'll forever think of you as 'Hammy The Hobo' because you don't shower when we go camping."
"Stop it."
"Now you're just 'Hammy The Hobo' with Hormel hands."
"I think you're going to like your new home."
"What new home?"
"The one we just passed."
"We passed the cemetery."
"That newlywed couple we met with the newborn baby----they weren't even sure they wanted a child when she got pregnant."
"Well, IT sure came quickly...."
"It came qui---wait, what?"
"How was your breakfast?"
"I had so many eggs, I think I ate an entire hatchery."
"Why don't you consider trying those new brain supplements?"
"They won't work because I don't have a brain."
"I asked the pharmacist if I could take Voltaren for my pulled leg muscle but she said no, it was only for arthritis."
"Did she give you a different option?"
"Nope, so I told her it will be her fault if I have to chop off my bad leg, and that the next time she sees me, I'll be flapping around in a circle."
"I can't believe I ate that entire Easter meal. I feel like I've swallowed a whale."
"Hopefully, it was a tasty whale."
"Thankfully, it wasn't a sperm whale."
"I need to charge the batteries for my electric tools."
"You need to charge your own body's battery first."
"What's up with you lately? You've suddenly become the new jokester in the family. That's my job."
"What can I say? I learned from the master---Hammy The Hobo."
Hope you enjoyed reading this month's FOW post. I'm just over here at my campsite with a fan, swatting at flies. Perhaps there wouldn't be so many if Hammy the Hobo actually took a shower......
