The World According to Leslie

So…I’m a day late on Father’s Day.  But….that’s because I was with my Father!     There is a running joke in our family.  I have an older brother and a younger sister.  We tell everyone that Donnie is the favorite.  DUH!  We all know that!  Then Lisa and I “fight” for favorite daughter.    Since I do a lot of stuff for my parents, more than my siblings, I tell them I know I’m the favorite.  I don’t do it because I want the attention.  I do it because I know they need the help.  I get a couple extra drinks at the store and take them over because I know my parents can’t carry them.  Mom’s knees are bad, and Dad is on a walker. (But…that’s a different story!)   So yesterday I posted on Facebook a Happy Father’s Day message to my dad and said it was from his “Favorite” daughter.  One of my friends accused me of trying to start a fight in the family.  I had to explain that it was all a big joke...

Day 6 is coming to a close.... WOW! Only 2 days left of vacation, then it's back to the real world! lol So this morning, we got up and cleaned the house so that it would look great when my family got here. My sister, niece, and two other teenagers got here about 1pm. They went to the beach and Tony, Chasity, and I headed to downtown Myrtle Beach. We bought me some cute salt-and-pepper shakers.... I'll try to put pics of those up here. We went to the arcade. That's something we always did when I came here as a kid! Then we picked out an airbrush shirt for Chasity. We have to go get it tomorrow. The guy had a lot of shirts in front of ours to do! :) My sister sent me a text message with a list of things to get at the store on the way home. So we stopped for a few groceries and headed back to the house. My brother and his family were already here and were getting ready for the beach. So we put the groceries up and changed to go to the beach. We got down there onl...

WOW! My vacation is almost over! Yesterday, we went to hang out with Debbie and her family at the pool. They moved to a different hotel and it had like 5 pools. It was awesome! Then we came home and it started storming.... again! lol Well... that's hot weather with high humidity for you! :) BUT... that's ok. We ordered pizza in and ate that for supper. The day ended with us falling asleep watching MY favorite movie on TV....Gone with the Wind! So far today, we have cleaned the house up a little. I am sitting on the front porch waiting for my sis and my brother to get here. Lisa should be here anytime.... but Donnie is a couple hours out still. I'm getting excited to see everyone! Until next time........

Yesterday was pretty cool. We slept in for a while. None of us woke up before 9am! lol It was great! We ate breakfast, watched a little TV, and got ready for the beach. We spent 2 hours at the beach (NONE of us were sunburned)!!! Then we came back and showered. We ate lunch and watched a little more TV. Tony fell asleep on the couch for almost 2 hours, but.... it's a vacation! lol After we rested, we went "Golf Cart Exploring". All that means is that we took the golf cart out for a ride... and had NO planned location to go to. Then we finished our grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. The Piggly Wiggly was WAY too expensive for us! :) After that, we came home, ate supper and just hung out at the house. It was nothing amazing, but it was totally amazing. Today, (Day 3), I have been up since before 8am. I ate breakfast and walk a 1/4 of a mile. I know it's not far, but I walked it... and I felt good doing it. I like walking, but I had to scope out the dog situat...
