It was a very hot day on the beach. We were in Destin, FL and my back was burning from the rays of the sun. This was our first family vacation and it wasn't going to be the last. I was so excited, I had not been to Florida since I was a little girl. I was happy to be spending this time with my love, and fiance, Jeff, and my beautiful blue eyed beauty, Blake.
We arrived in Destin, after an eight hour car ride. We were so exhausted and my poor Jeff hadn't gotten any sleep. We, as in me and jeff, were ready to be at the motel room. I'm not sure why we were settling for this old dirty motel room, when my aunt had just spend about $45,000 redoing her beautiful beach front home. Truth be told she didn't care to let anyone stay the night there, but was more than willing to show off the new beautiful home, to anyone who wanted to listen. Jeff and I tried to rest, but soon realized that, with a five year old boy around, that wasn't much of an option. So, we decided to go to the beach.
Before we could ever get to the beach, Jeff HAD to have fishing gear. He always has to kill the joy of a what was supposed to be a fun vacation. At the store we buy about $300 worth of fishing equipment. Finally, after giving Jeff "the look", one million times we leave the store and head to the beach.
While at the beach, we set up

Hello Joe,
We met earlier this week in the hallway. I remember exactly how we interacted with each other and also exactly what you looked like. I saw you walking towards me, but you did not see me at first. As you walked down the hallway, you did not look up. You just kept looking at your phone. I saw a strong, quiet type in you.

I see very bright colors in this picture. Red, blue, yellow, green, white, orange, and purple consumes this image. The three geckos are looking up as if they are about to be fed. I'm not sure if they are hungry or just wanting attention.
Food: Spaghetti and Meatballs
My grandmother makes the most amazing food. She has strong hands and puts them to use when it comes to cooking. A few recipes have been passed down the line of family members. One of my favorites among many others, is my grandmother's recipe for spaghetti and meatballs.
My grandma likes to add her own ingredients into her meatballs. The most common ingredient is love. My grandma has always cooked with abundant amounts of love. She will so humbly laugh when told that her cooking was the best, but as for us grand kids, we know the real reason it tastes so good. Along with with love are other ingredients such as ground beef, parmesan cheese, parsley, Italian seasoning, eggs, and crackers but these ingredients cannot compare to the most important one.
My grandma has always said that the mixing of these ingredients is the best part. The
Hello Joe,
We met earlier this week in the hallway. I remember exactly how we interacted with each other and also exactly what you looked like. I saw you walking towards me, but you did not see me at first. This must have been because you were looking down at your cell phone like the strong quiet type you are. That bald head of yours catches a lot of light in these hallways, however it seems to fit you physique. Your broad muscular shoulders plays a huge role in the way you walk. You are very good looking for an older man nearing his sixties. Your style is nothing short of fun and quirky. The blue jacket paired with the St. Louis Blue's shirt underneath looks magnificent. Your black fur hat a top your head gives your quirky personality a way of showing itself. Your long tough guy strides brings to light the amount of self- confidence that you possess.

Kansas City, MO
As I leave Springfield and head towards Kansas City I begin to think of all the events that will take place in that one weekend. The two and a half hour drive seems like thirty minutes when you see the sign that states that Harrisonville is 21 miles away. Getting off of 71 highway and onto the ramp creates a pleasing feeling within me because I know that I am almost home. Turning right onto 2 hwy where the gas station sits, always makes me wonder about my dad's childhood hometown. I begin to think about all of the stories my dad has told me. The stories that depict a very interesting childhood. His teenage years and how he got into so much trouble, became a reality as I drive through the small town. I make my turn onto 7 hwy and I know that I will soon be home. My regular pit stop at Casey's General Store can never be forgotten. As I pull up to the gas pump and step out of the car the smell of gasoline, and horse manure. It is not the best smell but it is familiar. As a grasp the gas pump handle the metal reminds of exactly how cold it is outside. The gas cap of my car reminds me of the frigid temperatures outside as I can barely turn it. Escaping the smell that has completely . A quick walk into the gas station allows for a better smell. The smell of pizza. The smell of the pizza cooking is one of my favorites. When they put that warm pizza box in my hand, I can't help but smile.
Smells:
The smell of this place is like any other small town. The smell of horse and cow manure fills the air. The only time to escape this smell if by walking into the Casey's General Store where the smell of pizza is quite a relief.
Touch:
Before entering the gas station to pick up my delicious taco pizza I must pump the gas. The feeling of the cold nozzle reminds me that it is still winter. My fingers hurt when I turn the gas cap because they are so cold which is yet another reminder of the frigid temperatures outside.
Hear:
While in Harrisonville the sounds of big diesals seem to be everywhere. It must be because of the weigh station a couple miles away.
Taste:
Stopping at the Casey's General store is so exciting. My mouth instantly water knowing that I am so close to getting my beloved Taco pizza. I love that way the cheese melts and the lettuce is warmed by the freshly baked pizza. The pizza would not taste as good as it does with out the taco sauce that they give with it. As soon as I enter the door I realize that I can actually taste the smell of the pizza. I find it interesting how our senses work.
