Sweet Summer Nights

I’m relishing in these sweet summer nights. Last night, while Daddy coached a game, we went to our Thursday night hot spot, Seafood Junction, for catfish with Bubba, Spiffer, and Granddaddy. Helen Grace enjoyed sitting in a doubled up big girl chair and eating hushpuppies, mac and cheese, and water with a splash of sweet tea. (When our waitress refilled our glasses, she insisted on a “refill” too.) Afterward, we took Bubba home and spent some time out in her backyard. The weather was actually very pleasant, and I loved sitting back watching Helen Grace flanked by Spiffer and Bubba, chatting away {in the same spot John proposed six years ago}. Bubba just laughs and laughs at the things HG says and how she responds to questions. Helen Grace kept grabbing her by the hand hollering, “Bubba, c’mon!” Later, we came home and played in our backyard until sundown, swinging and blowing bubbles. The child could swing for days! I want to always remember these fun times with family.

Watching the video from Bubba’s this morning- she loves to watch herself on video.
