In 18 days I head Home. Home for Christmas! Yippee! Where I close out all the crap and focus on family & friends. Back when the boys were younger the rare trip south for Christmas was usually a logistical nightmare. Getting it there and them there without them knowing it was there took some of the 'close out all the crap' away. Nowadays the secret's out (but not openly spoken of) so I can get in the car and drive.
Which brings up the reason for this particular blog. Not a rant but a justification.
I like driving straight through. It brings up so many memories of Dad. I know that when I get there, safe & sound as Dad always did, Mawmaw & Pawpaw, Mamo & Grandad will be there waiting to tell me how special I am. I like to find an old country station at 4 am while my family sleeps then stop as the sun comes up for coffee and breakfast.
Although the
"Clanton
A great place to visit
A better place to live"
sign has been replaced by a nightmare Peach the site tells me I'm Home and really sets my Christmas in gear.
So counting the days soon to be the minutes!

About Me

- About me -- Could that speak to attributes of my character or to objects arranged around me at this time and place. To discuss attributes there must first be attributes. As a rather suspect observer they (the attributes) would be questionable to say the least should I choose to list any. If on the other hand we are speaking of objects that are within my grasp I feel as though their description would be an invasion of my privacy and by the way one that I would be responsible for and by golly there's one attribute I will claim and that's having sense enough not to incriminate myself! So! As a card carrying commie pinko of the late 60's you'll not be greatly suprised with some of my opinions. This will hopefully be a family place.
