Ellen and I dressed up

July 23, 2016- This is the day of the Cotton reunion and I am going to try  to go to it. Mainly because that family was my family for so long and still is my children's family. I will admit there has been lots of water under the bridge since I met that little girl at the Ozark Roller Bole when she told me to get out of her way. I was blocking her from getting off the floor after the number was over. She was an expert at skateing  and I was not too bad myself. I did, however; sprain my ankle one time when I was "showing out." You probably know that young boys are always trying to impress someone. I did pay for it in pain. That sprained ankle was probably some of the most intense pain that I had ever had. It is still very good to remeet old friends and kinfolks, inlaws or outlaws.

Ellen has gotten interested in politics of late and she has been sitting up late and watching the Republican fall-de-rall. I think she has developed a genuine interest in politics. But, that is not such a bad thing seeing the shape that this country has gotten into because of self-serving politicians. I don't know what is in store for this nation, but I know if doesn't change it is doomed. Will see how the reunion goes. The sad part about it is that lots of those that were there are not around anymore. It is sad but just a part of life.

We should always be kind to one another and show our love at every juncture because one never knows when they will join those that are already gone on.
