Dallas... Mi Familia Time
Once again... Another "fun-filled" weekend in Dallas, TX. This past weekend I found myself in my backyard again (DTown). This time, it was not a great occasion that landed me there. I came to Dallas to mourn the loss of my Grandaddy. If you guys have read any of my posts prior to this you would know that I didn't grown up with that particular side of the family. This was my father's father. We all know, that up until a little while ago, I've always considered myself a "test tube baby". But... there is another person connected to me.
I saw cousins I hadn't seen in years. I had a chance to soley spend the whole weekend with them. It was truly wondrous. I will recap the weekend below.
Mi Familia Time
Friday, Aug. 11th, 2006
Drove up to Dallas with my uncle.
Went to my grandmothers house to prepare for the wake (for Grandaddy).
Drove my uncle, aunt, and grandmother to the wake.
Met cousins and family I hadn't seen in years.
Took the crew back to my grandmother's house.
Went to my cousins house (I spent the weekend at her house).
Went back to my grandmother's house to meet up with the other cousins.
We went to the bowling alley to bowl, hang out, and play pool.
Ended the night at 3am.
We were tired!
Time to prepare for the funeral.

The "Cousins" and I woke up and prepared for the funeral.
We headed to the church to set up the sound (My cousin Nique prepared a song for the viewing of the body)
We headed back to my Grandmomma's house to meet with the rest of the family.
Funeral Time.
Headed to the burial site.
Heading back to Grandmomma's house to change.
Off to Grandmomma's church to eat.
Headed back to Nique's house to rest.
After waking up, more cousins flooded the place (25 of us total at her house).
We had fun in Nique's music studio (I didn't realize I could rap ;o))
Headed to a hole in the wall (club)- had fun nevertheless.
Sleep at 3am.
Whew...
Sunday, Aug. 13th, 2006
Woke up and ate breakfast.
Chatted it up with other cousin's that spent the night.
Prepared to go to my Grandmom's house (Momma G's mom).
Went over to grab some greens and hot water cornbread.
Got full and head to my "other" Grandmother's house (Dead Beat J's mom)
Hugs and kisses to relatives over there, then scooped up my aunt and uncle so we could head back to HTown.
Dropped the fam off.
Awaited the return of my Sunshine, he had spent the weekend with Confused K.
The End.
