Weekend in Franklin

So much is going on right now that it is hard to keep track of everything so for the sake of posterity and sometimes a failing mind I am please forgive me if I write it all down here for remembrance of a later date. Kobi Bryant died this week and while it is sad that someone so young died I am not really getting the whole frenzy around his death. It just seems a little misplaced if you ask me.  People die every day.  One minute they are here and the next minute they are gone; however, everyone is talking about his death.  While I like Basketball, I don't really know who any of the players are anymore.  I had no clue he had retired. What struck me as sad was that it took almost two days before the media even really mentioned the others who lost their lives at that moment.  Even stranger that it was such a frenzy when people are dropping like flies in China from the Coronavirus and it is spreading globally, there have been earthquakes from Jamaica, to Cuba, to China and the Aleutian Islands and Trump is on trial. I guess if anything is to be taken away from his death is that we never know how long we have on this earth and so we should treasure each moment and more importantly let our loved ones know they are loved.

On another note, did you watch the Superbowl?  We didn't, but our sons Roman and Winston went to friends to watch it.  I suppose if I were to pick a team to win I would have chosen the Chiefs just because they are kind of the underdogs. So what does this have to do with Franklin, Tennessee?  Absolutely nothing! Two weeks ago for Martin Luther King jr. holiday weekend;  my mom, Roman, the girls, and I traveled up there for the weekend.  I figured if we were going to visit our friends, it was going to have to be that weekend as we are pretty booked out for the next 9 months.  Winston graduates in May, we leave for Germany for the summer, Winston turns 18, Roman turns 13, the girls just started Karate, and the list goes on.  I have as of yet to taken Winstons' senior photos. Funny how he has a mom who is a photographer but he doesn't have his photos done.  They will get done though!  It is just a matter of time.  I just need to find a weekend when he isn't so busy.  His first track and field race starts this upcoming weekend, so we just need to look at the Calendar and see what is best.  While we were in Tennessee, we celebrated Hannah's birthday.  She turned 8.  The girls were so happy to see her along with Tracy's girls.  I love how they may not see each other for 3 months, 9 more or a year plus and they just all pick up where they left off.

Then we went to see the movie Dr. Doolittle and it was so good.  If you haven't read my movie review, you can find a list of some of the movies I have watched in the previous post.  The movie was magical.  We also took the opportunity to eat at Biscuit Love and me oh my there Biscuits are so good and just like that we were back home. Addy ended up getting sick and so we cut our weekend short. Pure thing!  I would say it was the flu, but she didn't have a fever and she did have the flu shot.  She just couldn't keep anything down.  Well, it is like 1 something in the morning and I can barely keep my eyes open.  I am so tired.  I hope you had a good weekend. See you soon.
