After the wonderful drive up there (see post below) we finally arrived in Pavillion Wyoming around 9 p.m. Saturday night. From this point on I will refer to Pavillion as Podunkville. As we head into Podunkville we have NO cell service not even a glimpse of one the whole time we are there and mama had to meet us at one of the two bars in Podunkville to drive us to the their new house out in the middle of nowhere!!!! The only sign of life at my parents house besides them were cows and horses and if you think I'm kidding I will provide photo's here shortly. The cows turned out to be my source of entertainment and the source of my parents anxiety :). As a matter of fact, I had one of the cows become my alarm as he would moooo until I would come out and talk to him, he was number 29. Okay getting ahead of myself here ~
The Diva was beside herself finally seeing Nana and Papa especially Papa!! She would not leave him alone. I have to admit it was so good seeing mama and daddy. Daddy was looking as good as he could considering all he has been through, but the parkensions is worse than I've ever seen it. Mama is really hard on daddy and I think it is because of two reasons, either she is in denial or she is scared to death of losing daddy.
Christmas eve was the begining of the Diva being Daddy's little shadow.
I love this picture of the two of them. The whole family got ready and went to my uncle's church for Christmas Eve. I was suprised, my uncle was very complementary and nice to me. We actually got along and had a good time together. It felt good after all that has transpired over the years between us I was prepared for a miserable reunion!!! But it was all really a good trip!!
In mama's effort to make sure everything was perfect the only time I could spend any time with her was in the kitchen. The woman cooked and cleaned non stop while we were there ~ here is mama in her glory!
Now as we were leaving for church the cows were blocking the driveway to get out. So of course I had to get pictures, because it really is a site to see and their refusal to leave their location is comical. Seeing my daddy get out of the truck and try and heard them is even more comical.
Here is a photo of my #29. She is the one looking at me and closest to the one laying down and having no intention of moving from it's moring nap :)
Here is a photo of my parents house and some of the other neighbors ~ yes there is nothing in the area!!
