Before I begin today’s blog post, I have a special
message for one Mr. Bret Douglas:
Happy #58, Mr. D! I already know that you are celebrating
every moment of it. Be sure that Mrs. D and the rest of the fam treat you to
all of your favorite places. Love ya lots!
So, as y’all can see from the photo in today’s blog post,
I am just about ready for the summertime. Notwithstanding my return to Southern
Cali and my upcoming internship, it’s about that time for my family reunion. With
the success of last year’s festivities, the family decided to have our reunion
every second Saturday in August. And lemme tell y’all—last year was so much
fun! I’ve said it over and over again, but it’s worth repeating: The Joneses
know how to party, Baby! I love how everything worked out for us to celebrate
family togetherness in Nashville, and I know that Gramma Jewel’s best friend
(and my honorary second grandmother) Mother Davis had a blast; she told me
herself. Well, per Gramma Jewel’s mandate, we gotta make this a yearly thing. That
being said, our family reunion this year will take place at Uncle Alex and
Auntie Cherri’s house in Long Beach.
Yes, I know that I haven’t really talked about it much,
but I can assure y’all that my family has been in deep discussion about Jones Family
Reunion 2015. Matter of fact, it was just last year that Uncle Alex and Auntie
Cherri volunteered to host this year’s reunion. Cousin Keith promised to bring
back all of those fantastic ol’ skool hits, and of course, Gramma Jewel is gonna
make her award-winning strawberry seven-up cake. The only thing we’re missing is
a catchy theme; once we get that, Mom will go ahead and order the t-shirts.
I’m wondering now… yeah, I’ll go ahead and do it—I’m
gonna invite Ruby, Theo, Azalea, and Craig. After all, like Gramma Jewel says: “Family
don’t just mean blood, Baby!”
Okay, ‘all—that’s gonna do it for me today, and seeing as
how Sunday is Mother’s Day, I’m gonna post a very special Mother’s Day blog
post for a very special woman sometime tomorrow. Until then, y’all be good!
Smooches,
Natasha
