What is a Hill-Billy?; The weekend's overview

In an earlier post, I referred to a Jeopardy question that was about Hope, Arkansas' famous Watermelon Festival and that most people thought Hope was only famaous as the birth place of former President Bill Clinton. With next year being an election year, it looks like Hillary Clinton will run for president herself. So, I ask you, do you know what a Hillbilly is? Well, some seem to think this is one!


Now, for some reason, I can't like Hillary. I did like Bill. But I can't like her. I think my presidential vote next year will be for Rudy Juliano. I like the way he handled the whole 9-11 ordeal in New York. It takes a great leader to do the things he did.
We had a full weekend this weekend. Sara and Jordan came and spent the nite on Friday. Saturday morning we went to breakfast as per our usual, then took Sara grocery shopping and back to her apartment. Jordan stayed with us until Sunday evening. He is so busy! He is really starting to repeat things you say, so, it's easier to understand what he's saying. When he's done eating, he says "I Done" and tries to pull off his bib. So funny! He has a great personality, too.

Well, for some unknown reason my left tricep is extremely sore. I am thinking a combination of carrying heavy groceries and carrying Jordan at different points during the weekend. Then, at work yesterday, we had our water main break, which means the plant couldn't operate because A) the machines are water cooled and B) we couldn't use the bathrooms. So, the machine operators left at 9:30 and I left at 10:45 after I got my orders done and they could be shipped. I came home and finsihed the last 3 loads of laundry leftover from Sunday and then decided to wash the truck. In between, I did some emails, so if any of you were wondering why you got emails from me during the day, that's why. Dean and I went for wings last nite and when we got back, he and I put a coat of wax on the truck. But don't you know, it started raining 2 hours later, and still hasn't quit at the time of this posting. Well, it's almost time for my shows; NCIS, Dancing results, then Boston Legal. Did you see Marie Osmond faint last nite? I thought she was just being funny till I saw the look on Tom Bergeron's face! They say she's okay, so we will see tonight.

Hope ya'll like the picture of the HILLary-BILLY Clinton!

Have been to the Watermelon Festival in Hope. Nor far from my Mother's home--Shreveport, La. Does that make me a hill billy? Vote is still out on Hilliary. Need to wait to see who is in the running before I make a definite yes or no decision. Right now does not seem like the worst choice but may not be the best.

As a matter of fact, I was wondering why you were sending emails during the day... :-)
