The other day, I did my first full set of acrylics in a long time and with a new acrylic brand I had never tried. I had to take this picture to show of my nail job and her little boy Roman, who is actually due TODAY.
I love doing acrylic and I think I did a pretty good job. We left the white tips and just put on some top coat for a effortless french manicure. She likes them short and I like that since she is about to have a tiny little love to take care of. I felt llike I was back and I feel great about my upcoming test and job hunt.
After my small triumph, my week kept getting better and my guy and I went on a little trip san infantes to the opposite corner of the state to help lead a parade for their local Cotton Festival saluting Veterans, Reserves and Active duty Servicemen and women. This year it was in honor of the Navy Seals.
It's put on every year by the Sikeston, Missouri American Legion there and had a parade, fair, carnival and pageants among other festivities. Our local post has gone down for several years to act as the Color Guard for the parade and march along with our Posts Cruiser that looks like a Duck type vehicle. We led the way for the Parade Grand Marshall in his shiny red convertible. My hunny carried the Flag in the wind along a mile long route and I sat comfortably in the Cruiser waving at all the people.
We rode in the Cruiser on the almost 500 mile trip down and then back again, and I wouldn't say it was close to comfortable, but we had a great time with the rest of the people who went. We played cards and just enjoyed each other company while our rear ends suffered.
The best part was the hospitality of South Eastern Missouri. We spent a great deal of our 3 days there with the Legions members and they were amazing hosts!
My back side is still sore and my son is still whining that we were gone to long, but I am definitely on for next year.
