Saturday, Part I: Wee!!!


Ah, it's the weekend! And how we have enjoyed it. Started off the day with a potluck of pancakes & breakfast burritos, together with our friends & neighbors, the Sullivans (minus Wesley!).


As always, Daren (aka 'Drill Sargent' aka 'Sully') entertains the crowd. On this particular day, he had everyone rolling from stories about his poverty-stricken childhood in Mississippi. Among other things, they were so poor that his dad gave him a ball-bearing to play with as a toy. (Which he peeled the paint off and did, indeed, play with.)

Another time, Sully's dad told he and his brother not to park their bikes where he parked his truck in their driveway. One day, the boys were playing inside when they heard Dad honking his horn outside. They ran outside to see their father patiently waiting in his truck, their bikes parked in Dad's spot. Once they appear, he hits the gas and runs his truck staight over their bikes. They were so poor that afterwards, the boys tried to straighten the cycles out and ride them anyway. I guess that taught them a lesson.




Since the Morris family has pathetically few cool toys, the girls 'make do' playing what we now call, "Wee!!" --bowling the old fashioned style, down our entryway. Low-tech, but fun.








Later, Audrey & her daddy brush up on homeowner tax breaks.
