t the tents that were set up, there was a sad lack of things Polish but we did manage to snag the last seven Perogis. After the run there was a raffle, first prize was a heifer or $500, the guy that one took the money. We drove back home and Dad took me on the afternoon round of the laundries trying to help me distinguish between the numerous sets of keys. Once we were done, everyone else headed down to Lake Belton and I took a nap with the doggies. I went to do the last check of the day at 5:00 and the first one I walk into one of the triple load washers has soap suds pouring out of the top of it. So I calmly call Dad and ask what to do and he tells me to grab a mop. I went in the back to get it and by the time I come back out three of the machines have soap spilling out of them! I frantically started mopping and the owner of the clothes came in and saw the mess. He spoke no English but come to find out he used three cups instead of 3/4 cup. He felt bad so I couldn't be too mad at him, but he did set me behind. Luckily the other two laundries had no issues and I was soon on my way to have dinner with my friend, Caitlin. We had a great time catching up and I got to hear all about her wedding plans, which I love to hear about. She's getting married in November, but she's so on top of everything. I stayed over at her house until 11:00 and by the time I got home everyone was asleep. Sunday, I slept in and then went for a swim. Mom brought us lunch and we ate out on the patio. It was super hot, but I miss my pool so I had to soak up some sun. Then it was time for me to get back on the road cause I missed my Matty.

I'm home! A little weekend recap for you, I went to Waco for the weekend to watch the dogs/laundromats for mom and dad. My mom's friend, Pat and her husband Mike were in town from Ohio. Mom and Pat go way back, they were in the army together and they are full of incriminating stories from back in the day. Friday night we took them out to Rudy's for some barbeque, which is a little sacrilege but there really aren't any authentic barbeque places in Waco. They loved it and then we went back to the house and had a late night swim to cool off. I got Mollie to swim! She was so cute with her little doggie paddle. Saturday morning we got up at 6:00AM and drove down to Bremond, Texas for the Polish Pickle Festival and 5K Run. We walked very briskly and including a quick pit stop finished in under an hour. It was nice to have some time to catch up with mom on our walk. Afterwards we got a free Polish beer and some watermelon. We looked around a
