Day 184 (July 3)

We walked down to the Levitt Pavilion in downtown Arlington for their July 4th (on the 3rd) thing. Just one of the benefits of living where we do right now! Anyway, while we were listening to the music, this woman sitting next to us befriended us. It was HILARIOUS!!! I loved it, but poor Josh was stuck in the middle. She had quite the life story, and believe me, we heard it ALL!

She has a step-daughter that they stuck in Happy Hill because "she didn't want to learn no more and thunk she knew it all". They put the daughter in nice clothes and got her all dressed up, "ya know, in nice clothes, like from Ross" and they registered her at HH Farm. Everything, all them nice clothes, fit in two duffel bags. While they were checking her in, this lady said she went into the gym and got a basketball. She went to center court, took off her glasses (because that's how she learned to shoot, with no glasses, she can't shoot with her glasses, but has to take them off, because that's how she learned...and she showed us how she took her glasses off) And she sunk that ball. "whoosh". (complete with spit flecks as she said 'whoosh').

There was a lot more, but that's the major stuff. It's probably one of those "had to be there" kinda things, but I'm blogging it so I don't forget about it or her! She was a complete nut (crack?)head, but was nice and was probably having the time of her life!

She was quite a character to say the least
