Birthday boy

My grandson turned 5 yrs old. We had a lovely party with lots of grandma's.  My mother & my mother in law were both there. And of course grandpa. We had pizza & cupcakes. Perfect evening to turn 5 years old!

Today is my mother's 81st birthday. She just got back from Las Vegas. She was actually there of the day of the shooting. I didn't know about it until I woke in at 4 in the morning. I saw the news of the shooting and started to text my mom. She answered after the 2nd text. Needless to say she was unhappy I woke up but I was happy not matter. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.
This weekend has been kind of slow. I have been sick, with bronchitis and other fun illnesses, so we haven't been doing much of anything. Yesterday, Jefferson City has a multi-culture festival. Sadly the weather didn't cooperate until the afternoon. Not many booths left to visit but my husband and I enjoyed walking around without the crowds and did a little shopping. We stopped for dinner at the food trucks. My husband got a huge nacho plate at one and I went to my favorite; Jerk Hut. Delicious!
Today is like a summer day. It is hot! I took a bunch of clean towels to the camper for our upcoming last camping trip of the season. I love Fall but the spiders are out in full force! All the persimmons have fallen off the trees and the bees are loving the persimmons on the ground.

Jerk Hut Food Truck...my favorite!

I am so ready for this year to be over with and the cool air to return. I am ready for cold nights and my fire pit keeping me toasty.
