They call him "the clever one" because he reads the letters all along the reserved section each time we go there.

Do you have a local library you can go chill in? Just a suggestion.. <br /><br />I wish I didn't know all three of the McDonald's in my area as intimately as I do, but somehow, we always wind up hungry with zero time and nothing else is open! My new favorite treat is the Chocolate Chip Frappe. Of course, with the amount of calories in it, I might as well drink a Big Mac! LOL <br /><br />Hope all goes back to normal soon, try and stay cool best you can. xo HUGS.jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708353376256621965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-17221390557346672202012-07-07T10:43:34.927-04:002012-07-07T10:43:34.927-04:00oh man, i hope your ac is fixed soon!!! so cute yo...oh man, i hope your ac is fixed soon!!! so cute you taking him to the library and mcds----and very cool, a parade on the fourth--we don't have any of those around me---love hearing about your life :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-5612584496230711472012-07-07T10:25:58.474-04:002012-07-07T10:25:58.474-04:00I remember the week in 2005, after hurricane Franc...I remember the week in 2005, after hurricane Francine, when we were without electric.
