Just like Old Times...

Well, maybe not so old...but it feels like a long time ago to me. Since this coming Monday is MLK Day and the boys are out of school, we are taking advantage with a trip back home and enjoying the days of "Just like Old Times".

Our "just like old times", started last night enjoying a birthday party for a sweet, dear friend.

Just like old times, we got our haircut by our favorite beautician who also happens to be a family member at Wild About Hair in Brandon.

Just like old times, we shopped for fabric at Hobby Lobby and Continental Sewing.

Just like old times we went the local candy store to buy some of our favorite, sweet candy treats...gummy bears, gummy worms, gummy dinosaurs, and a big lollipop.

Just like old times, we visited MeMe at her work.

Although running around town with 4 year old twin boys can be challenging, frustrating and chaotic at times...I sure do miss the "Just like old Time" days of doing this back home. These kind of days were typical when living in Madison partly because of the shopping opportunities this area offers.

There just aren't these kind of adventures in G'ville nor the Delta for that matter. Although it's not the same kind of daily errands, God is showing me other adventures up there to enjoy with my boys tagging alone. There is a bakery in Leland, Connie's Kitchen, that I take the boys to pick out their favorite, sweet treat. Although it's not candy...cookies are just as good in the mouths of a child...and this Mamma, too. And as I mentioned in a previous post...we still enjoy Shipleys Do-nuts when we have the opportunity.

All too soon, the adventures in the Delta will one day be the "Just like Old Times". And when that time comes, I'm sure I'll be wishing those days were back, too.

Until next time...the song "You're Gonna Miss This" proves to be true for days like this,
