Early Preparation for Summer Vacation, Tho!

Hi, All!

So, I’m sure y’all read the title of today’s blog post and thought to yourselves: “Natasha know she be on it!” And I bet that’s exactly how y’all said it, too… hahaha!

Well, anyway, I figure that there is no time like the present to plan ahead for my upcoming summer vacation. Yes, I am aware that my summer vacation officially starts on May 31, 2014 (immediately after summer school ends), but y’all know how I like to plan ahead!

The biggest news in my family right now revolves around our family reunion, which will take place in about seven months’ time. I know that I mentioned this on more than two occasions, but considering that our last reunion was around Gramma Jewel’s 76^th Birthday, it’s time to get excited all over again! I’m already excited because I’m finally gonna get a chance to visit the birthplace of my Gramma Jewel and my Great Aunt Reesie… that’s right, y’all—our family reunion will be held in Ruleville, Mississippi! Seeing as how Gramma Jewel and Great Aunt Reesie (also known as Double-Double Trouble, and that’s another story for another day) are the matriarchs of the family, they decided upon their birthplace as the setting for our gathering. We’re gonna start in Nashville, Tennessee, then meet up in Memphis, and finally caravan to Ruleville, Mississippi. Y’all may hear me talk about this some more until this grandtastical event finally comes to pass—and by then, I’ll be talking about in even greater detail!

My family reunion notwithstanding, I’m also excited about going back to Cali, but this time for an even better reason: You see, I got a letter from my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Ingrid Martin last week, and she explained that she is looking forward to me showing to talk to her class once I’m out of school. Upon reading her letter, I got to thinking how Mrs. Martin and I were supposed to meet up this past December, but my schedule was a little discombobulated. Therefore, if The Lord allow us the opportunity, we can meet up this summer. And while it’s fresh on my mind right now, I had better start writing a reply to my favorite (and only) kindergarten teacher. Oh, and yes, y’all—one day soon, I’ll be dedicating a blog post to Mrs. Martin, just so y’all can really get to know her.

 

So, as you can see, my summer vacation is shaping up real good… not only that, but thinking about the summer has kinda warmed me up mentally, given that it’s still freakin’ cold out here!

Until tomorrow, y’all have a gooden.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
