Selma, Market Day, and Tale Telling

This weekend, Lee and I went to Selma to visit his parents. We haven't seen them since July 4th so we were overdue for a visit. We left Friday after Lee got off work and they had homemade pizza waiting on us! Saturday morning we got up to go to market day in downtown. We met Aunt Eva there. We had a lot of fun. Me and Aunt Eva each bought a purse and she also purchased some really neat artwork from this guy who makes art out of pasta noodles. It looked really cool. After lunch at Grumbles Alley, we left and went back to the inlaws house to eat dinner. It was very good. We had ham, potato casserole, rolls, and lima beans. After dinner, we headed to an auditorium (can't remember the name) to hear Kathryn Tucker Windham and several other story tellers. It was sooo much fun. For those of you who know me, you know I love to hear someone tell stories. I could just listen to them all night. Kathryn is now 90 years old, and she did a great job of standing at that microphone and telling those wonderful stories. She didn't tell her usual ghost stories but the stories she did tell were hilarious. We were also entertained by a blue grass band by the name of the Dill Pickers. The only sad thing was the text message we received saying Auburn had lost to Arkansas. This just isn't their year. After grilled hamburgers for lunch and homemade icecream we said goodbye to the Busbys and headed back to Opelika. It was a very relaxing weekend and I wish it would last longer.
Here are a few pics of Muffin and Bo (Lee's parents labs)
