Something Old, Something New

Yesterday was a very good day. I met my mother and Cameron at Super Wal-Mart to pick up Cam before making my way to Jasmine and Sky's house. While at Wal-Mart, I saw, of all things, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (complete with the vanity plate OH I WISH); the last time I saw that was when I was a wee lad of eleven and living in California. I even met Oscar Mayer himself back then, and got wiener gum (cherry flavored, if memory serves) and a wiener whistle. There was no gum this time around, but I did get another wiener-whistle, plus a couple of stickers commemorating the 75th anniversary of the wienermobile. Cameron and I got our pictures taken next to the vehicle, then it was off to meet Skylin's parents. My skills on the grill were immediately called upon, and once everything was finished I was able to spend some time with Peter and Mary, both of whom proved to be enjoyable company; their two girls as well. I need to spend more time with my granddaughter Juliana as she doesn't recognize me inbetween the 6-week absences of seeing her. Oh, well. It was a good day, with a little reminiscing, and I look forward to doing it again real soon. The only thing missing? DJ, of course. LIVER (That was for you, Kimber).
