Thanks to the generousity of an organization here in TN, Relative Caregiver Assistance, me and the rugrats spent an entire
day at Lake Winnie literally within 15 miles of our house. We rode rides, ate too much junk and walked and walked and walked. GB became addicted to the centrafuge ride that used to be called The Round-up. TL and TM paddled boated their big grandma across the lake and back again----bless their tiny little skinny legs! JR an GB piloted airplanes. JR won purple beads for making the bell ring on the stong-man sledge hammer game and the two little ones each won a blow up guitar (ya'all know this IS Elvis country). We walked and rode and played all day. The last ride of the day we all rode the boat shoot. Everyone got sprinkled except me-----I got drenched. I made sure all the kids had sunscreen on and then I burnt to a crisp! I am posting these postcards for my siblings as it reminded me so much of our childhood neighborhood amusement park. Meyers Lake Park--I can remember "kids day" each year when every ride was only a nickle. Ok, so I am gonna be 52 in a couple of days. All in all, we had a great day as a great family.
