This past week has been just wonderful. My dad came to visit me – he and his wife came up and I haven’t seen them since I for 23 years! It’s been a lovely visit, and I didn’t get ANY workouts in and ate a lot, but for the most part it’s been a healthy menu.
It’s been wonderful. It’s been healing. It’s been magical.
All I have to share this week is all this love:
We are ARMY STRONG!
We made crafts!
Aedan got a VERY SPECIAL gift from his PawPaw- a .22!
Plus, Daddy gifted Aedan with his Army reserves tent, his Vietnam helmet, and his Army backpack,and a compound bow.
And we cooked! My Daddy brought me my favorite Texas spice- Tex-Joy. I see Tex-Joy has COFFEE and Zummo sausages now! He also brought me some boudain. I havne’t had Boudian for over 25 years, and it was just as awesome as I remember! HE COOKED ME A GUMBO. Oh, sweet baby Jesus, he cooked me a Gumbo and left me a recipe. I have some in the freezer for later. 
We watched ALL the beautiful sunsets from my deck. 
We listened to records, and played washerboards!
And we just sat and talked, and LOVED.
I’m so thankful for the chance to have this visit. I love you, Daddy, and I’ll be seeing you soon!
Looks delicious o and like lots of fun.
