TGIF

Good Morning Campers!!!!

 Hope everyone is doing well this Friday morning....I am doing great..tickets are booked for Sue and Dads flights...they are coming Sept. 15th...please don't anyone tell them that is peak hurricane season here or I will never get them over here!! Just hope and pray with all I have that we don't get major storms while they are here...and that my sister doesn't read this Journal..I don't think she does or she would have said something by now but one never knows...;-)

We had Mexican food and margaritas last night which as you all know is our usual FRIDAY night ritual but we did it last night instead because we are having a little barbecue tonight for the relatives that are in town..let me talk about that for a minute...it is a little complicated so pay attention..;-)

My mother in law died in Dec 1997 in UK..my father in law  remarried one of their friends from the past in July 1998 and bought her to the states to live..They actually lied to us about the marriage..they told us they were marrying the following year but I busted them when I was at their house and answered the phone and it was immigration wanting to speak to Mrs Hatfield..as I thought I was the only Mrs Hatfield I said "this is her"..well obviously they were looking for the new Mrs. Hatfield...LOL..busted!! Actually is wasn't funny and all hell broke lose but let me get back to the story...I know the "lady" he married..and her whole family..I went to school with her kids...so now that the two families have "blended" we get to see them when they come over to visit....so hence tonight I will be having my father in law and his wife who I refer to as "the witch" and her son who I went to school with who is now somehow related to me in this complicated mess and his partner who used to be the barmaid at our local pub and their 3 kids over for a barbecue..how I ended up with this lot on my lawn is truly one of those you'd have to see it to believe it stories..they actually live in Ireland..the barmaid is from there originally and they moved back over there years ago....the son is what you call a bit of a hard arse..always in trouble back home and his partner was commonly called the village bike if you get my drift but in the name of family we try to put all this behind us and have a good time...hubby can't stand the new Mrs Hatfield..none of us can to be honest with you but we do what we have to to respect the old man...hubby is also resentful of the "family" who get to come over here and enjoy free holidays round his dads house...so the mere fact that he asked them over here is amazing to me and I for one will be monitoring the consumption of alcohol tonight as I can see the potential for the two hard arses from back in the day having a go at it!!

If you're still reading and even better still following this god love ya!!

Anyway what started this whole thought process is that I have been thinking it was Saturday all morning because we ate Mexican last night...LOL..amazing where the mind wanders eh??

Have a great weekend ....
