How y'all doin'. I hope y'all are gettin' rain too. It's stormin' like crazy here but it's all good cause I'm off. I'm headed to Jackson Mississippi for the next few days for a family reunion. If you wanna follow my adventures, I'll be usin' the hashtag #HeyJackson on social media. My family ain't gonna know what hit 'em. My camera is charged and ready. I even bought a new memory card that hold just around 2,000 pics.
I'm also real excited cause I'm bringin' my #GiveLove #GiveLove letter to Mississippi.The short version: I leave anonymous "love notes" in hopes that it will encourage and bless someone. Y'all can click the links if you want more info or wanna see other letters I've left.
What are y'all's plans for the holiday weekend. Does your family do family reunion as big as mine? What's a must for you when vacationin'. I hope y'all have a great weekend and I'll see y'all Monday.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all the good food and family pics from your family's reunion.
I hope you were able to shop till your heart was content

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Where was it at?
DeleteYay for trips & family reunions! Have fun!
ReplyDeletea. brilliant blog
ReplyDeleteb. awesome pics.
c. sounds like a great trip - I'm in the middle of winter with a huge cold front coming up.... thanks for warming me up.
Ekk, I couldn't imagine. We don't have a proper winter here. We joke a Texas Summer is hard enough so God spared us on the winter front
DeleteI'm heading to Memphis for a family reunion and then I'm headed to San Antonio. So my weekend will be jam pack with fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I voted to have the next reunion in Memphis but I lost and we will be in Atlanta this time 2016

ReplyDeleteRelaxing is my kind of thing. Yes, it's been hot here but not to bad. We haven't hit 100 degrees yet so it's all good
DeleteWow you have an awesome weekend. I really have nothing new planned and like always be home lol living it up. However, I might go see the fireworks by the lake and enjoy time with my family. You have an awesome 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fabulous 4th. Where you able to catch the fireworks by the lake?

ReplyDeleteDo it. But it takes lots of work. This was our first one and they planned for two years. The next one wont be for two years either
DeleteSounds like a real fun idea. I have never been to Mississippi and would love to visit one day. Can't wait to see the pics.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a beautiful state.

ReplyDeleteRight. There are always so many pics. So many. I hope your fourth was fabulous as well.
DeleteAren't family reunions the Greatest? We used to have them but not anymore. LMK if ya'll play the O'Jays song "Family Reunion" LOL Love that song! Have a ball for me gurl!
ReplyDeleteWe sure did play that song. It was a lovely time but I'm happy to be home
DeleteHave a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteWe don't do family reunions. Georgia is too small and we all live in the capital city - Tbilisi. We don't even have dinner together.
Wow, on my Dad's side of the fam everyone lives within hours except for a few like us
DeleteHope you are having a great trip! Can't wait to see the pictures later! I just visited my family couple of weeks ago and we had a lot of fun!

ReplyDeleteHave fun on your trip, I hope visiting your family is gonna be awesome! The #GiveLove notes are so awesome, that's something to totally try doing. Has anyone ever responded back from those?
ReplyDeleteNot that I know yet. I have visited some of the places in Dallas where I placed them and they were taken. So hopefully it blessed them and put a smile on their face. But I do know a few people have done their own and then tagged me.
DeleteHave fun on your trip!! I love the idea of the #givelove notes..
