This is me and my sisters: Linda, me, Debi, and Peggy.

It is July 4th and we are 1/2 way through our Family Reunion. It's been really awesome to have everyone here at my house! The fireworks last night were great. There are lots of family games going on and a small group of us are actually going to Graceland today. On tonight's menu is hamburgers and hotdogs and of course, homemade ice cream. mmmmm!
Dinner at the Texas Roadhouse on Sunday was a blast. Kirsten was a good waitress and put up with a lot of "stuff" from us! Mark announced to the whole restaurant that Kirsten was serving us and was the best in the place. She was so embarrassed, but kept on smiling. :-) We left her a $125 tip so she was really, really excited about that!
Here is the next part of Kirsten's story: She was SO EXCITED about getting all that money and was feeling really good about the whole night. She decided to go tell her friends at the pool hall after work and was driving a little too fast. The policeman told her she was getting a ticket for "reckless driving" - he should have taken her to jail!!!!! But instead she has to go to court and the VERY NICE policeman has to stand up and tell the judge why he did not take her to jail! So now Kirsten has to pay for the ticket ($50) and the court cost ($150) - SO.... there goes her great tip money from us!!!! :-) It is laughable. Any other night I would have been very mad, but I just laughed when I heard! She had visions of the WHOLE FAMILY coming to the jail the next morning to bail her out - AND of course we would have had the video cameras in tow! :-)
Life goes on at the Pickering house.....
