Back At It

   Well the oldest son has made it through Naval Basic Training and is now in South Carolina to start a year of schooling.  And like any parent, I am proud as can be.  But I did have to remind him that there was only a limited number of days before our favorite time of the year.
   Spook Sister and I have already been knee deep in the planning stages.  We have decided that this year we will do a carnival for the children and a party for the adults.  We have come up with a lot of really good ideas for the carnival that I hope we can pull off.  My biggest concern is having the people to run the booths.  We really want it to be like a real carnival for the kids.  I just wish that we could come up with a fun house for them to go through.  But that will be for another year.
     The adult party has a good deal of the supplies gathered but no real direction.  I think we are going to have to sit down and seriously think about this one.  Kind of like the yards, we really haven't even begun to plan those.  I had thought of doing the "Traveling Freak Show" kind of thing but now I am having second thoughts.  I guess while I am working the fireworks tent I will have plenty of time to think about what I want to do this year. I just know that it has to be better than last year.
