Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

Yesterday I was standing in line for a full eternity to get a burrito because burritos. After about 28 minutes, I noticed that the person in line in front of me was none other than Mr. Perfect. I think. I don't usually see any of The Perfects that close and I have facial blindness (self-diagnosed but very real) so I didn't dare to say hi to him. Plus it had been like 28 minutes so it just felt weird to suddenly say hi anyway. Which brings me to my next point: I am 95% sure that I am calling The Perfects by their correct first names when I see them. Which means that there is a 5% chance I have been calling them by the wrong names to their faces for 18 straight months. And it is far too late at this point to verify. And if I find out I've been wrong this whole time, I'm going to have to move. To China.

I wonder if they have burritos there.

And now, your Pictures & Distractions:
Jolyn and I have a very strict dress code in Strangerville.

My planter box is really werkin' it this year. 

Roses from my yard.

Jolyn and I stayed out way past our bedtimes celebrating my birthday.

    Ok see when you said 12,000 instruments, I thought you were exaggerating. Not that YOU'D ever exaggerate but I mean some people do. But now I see from the picture that when you said 12,000 instruments, you meant 12,000 instruments. In fact if anything you might have undersold it, there might be closer to about 13,001 instruments on the stage, but I mean I'm just guessing, I didn't count or anything

    I verified my neighbors names by looking up their addresses on our county auditor website. I too got to a point were there was some question if I was using the correct name or not.
