Rainy Day with Sam

Yeah, I'm not all that current with my blog, but hey. I do write nearly every day, but I keep a journal, so maybe someday I'll put it all of my journal writings into my blog. I thought it would be cool to start and do a day-by day posting of my journal in the future. So on June 1, 2023 I could post my June 1, 1993. Would that not be an awesome bit of nostalgia?
Anyway, It's a rainy day, so we haven't gone outside today. I've been playing with Sam, though he's spending more time watching Thomas and the Magic Railroad than playing. I played a couple of songs on the piano (to which Sam danced) and then played on the Dulcimer a bit until Sam grabbed my pick and ran away. Right now he's in my office and I'm getting worried- there's no telling what he's doing. (I'm on the laptop out in the family room). Last time, he tried making a water slide for his cars on the nice white carpet I have in there- using an entire can of root beer.
Shannon got called in to work, and we don't know when she'll be off, so I'm going to give Sam a snack and try to get him down for a morning nap. Otherwise, he'll have a funky afternoon schedule since we have to go get Erin from school at 3:00.
Otherwise, all is good. I'm getting my new stereo installed in my truck tomorrow (I tried to live without MP3 capability, but I just couldn't do it). And Shannon and I will be going to Memphis on Friday for the weekend! I've really been looking forward to that for quite a while. We're going to the Beale Street Music Festival. I'm not looking forward to seeing the bands as much as I am spending some quality time with Shannon. Eating meals without having food thrown at me. Or someone saying, "Can I have a bite?" Or "Dink? Dink Straw?"
