My Thoughts

Here is the last and final chapter in the reunion trip saga…we get to the Oak Grove Inn and my cousin and I go to check in. My cousin’s room costs $150 for the two nights we were staying. She had already sent in a $100 for a deposit on the room since she was paying cash, so you would think that all she would owe is $50, here is where the “fuzzy math” comes into play. When the front desk folks finished figuring out here bill she owed an additional $150, which would make the room, cost $300 I was half listening until the lady said that. Well my cousin was like “Hell nah, something aint right with that” so one of the ladies pulls out this calculator and she does some figuring and still comes up with this extra $150… So I step in and asked would it make things easier if I just put the room on my credit card and my cousin give me the money since even with a computer they couldn’t get the room price figured out. The front desk folks and my cousin agreed. So we check in and head to the park.
At the reunion, I swear I have never seen so many kids in my life, I think all my cousins have at least 3. I also have never seen so many women who chewed tabacco..eewww, but hey you can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family.
All in all we had a great time despite the “hiccups” I didn’t think was going to enjoy myself but I did specially day 2 of the reunion when the preachers of the family started their sermons and one of them was there with his girlfriend and not his wife, yeah we didn’t listen to him to much. Then for the talent show somebody got up to tell the family about how his daughter got a 5.5 GPA and $50,000 scholarship, my mom leans over to me and says “I thought they stopped at 4” I told her maybe they don’t in Louisiana. They are supposed to send us a DVD and some pictures of the event. The next one is scheduled for 2008 and my family and I plan to be there I am will tell my blog family all about the trip.
