Labor Day Par-tay
August 29th, 2008
The new washer and dryer are in, the replacement Bose Wave is on the porch and, so far, working. It’s the long weekend, and I intend to enjoy it.

Wash clothes till ya drop, Dougie! Jest kidding. We have plans. We’re going to a big Trailer Trash Labor Day party down at our campsite on the Juniata River tonight. It’s hosted by “Junior” Dobson and “Swanky,” two old friends of Tom’s. There will be a live country band, and tons of horrifically bad junk food. I made vats of my really good potato salad, and Molly made FIVE cakes! I’m sure with all the noise and beer drinking, I won’t last long (I don’t drink). I’ll be sticking to Molly like glue, making sure the white trash creeps aren’t sniffing around her.

Jean, I’m jealous! You guys mid-state are a wild bunch! I’m a former beer drinker-it gives me headaches-in fact I avoid all alcohol for that reason. But I love the name of the occasion! And potato salad sounds good anytime! Enjoy yurself Kiddo!

Joan, you would have loved it: hillibilly heaven! and yes, the beer flowed. The cops even showed up! Nobody got arrested, though; we were told they always cruise by the waterfront on Saturday nights. I never saw so many obese kids in my life. That part was sad. I actually got up and danced! There must have been 250 people there and so much food. I did pig out. Out of all the junk, there was only one lonely vegetable platter. Almost all the hot food was covered in sauerkraut, but that’s central PA for ya.
The best part was watching my husband jouncing his 10-month-old grandson on his knee in time to the music.
