Cash, Sun Setting, Tea and Tires

My heart is breaking this

evening. Little Cash, just 

a couple of days after

his  8th birthday left

this world Monday 

evening. 

I understand he went

peacefully and not in 

a lot of pain. 

Holding his family

close to my heart

tonight. Not sure how

a mother, father or

two brothers say 

goodbye to the youngest

in the family. 

Sunday evening at
the house as the 
sun is setting.

Spent the afternoon at

a cookout at my brothers

house with his in laws.

Niece's hubs cooked amazing

burgers, and hotdogs. He is a 

manage cook at Ellingston

Place in downtown Nashville.

Had tater salad, macaroni salad,

slaw, strawberry pie, caramel pie

and watermelon!

YUM.

The other day at 

Caitlin's baby shower

I had some Lemon

Loaf tea...

its a dessert all in its 

own. 

Nashville can't seem to get

through a winter with ice

and snow that doesn't

mess up our roads. 

For the last five months

we have dealt with holes, bumps

and cracks in our roads.

A statement made a couple

months back was that Nashville

needed to check into 

the mixture of 

asphalt we use.

DUH!!!

Problem is, when patching

these places they seem

to just pour the mixture

in a hole, not even sure

they spread it out to flatten

it. Filling the hole does not 

work unless they spread

it out all around the hole to 

seal it. First rain, it pops

out. I tell you this cause it

is allowing me to grip and

so you will understand!

haha

Anyway, with the amount of

 construction trucks with nails

and screws in the back of said

trucks and the bumps and holes

in our roads allows

the nails and screws to jump

out of the truck....

causing this

This is only TWO

tires....I actually

had in the front

passenger side a large

nail. 

The screw was in the back

passenger side and the 

other nail was in the 

rear drivers side.

I did not check the 

front drivers side.

At 20 bucks a patch I had

to stop!

To explain even more, 

Cory found the nail in 

the front passenger side

on our way to Ambers when

he was hear. We were putting

air in the tire. I was having

an issue getting in to have

it patched.....thanks to

the roads and all the work

places were taking in...

I had to make an apt for

a week out....for a nail

in my tire!

I stopped at a small local

owned place below the 

house Sat. and the guy got

right on it. He was patching

the front when I noticed

the back one so I walked

to the other side and found

the other one....refused

to check the last one!! 

Hoping you had an

amazing 

weekend.
