The first week adventures!

  Ron does summer sales and we go some were new and different every summer. This summer we are in Knoxville TN, last summer we were in San Antonio TX, and the summer before we were in Long Branch NJ. Every summer brings new adventures and new people, along with a new climate. This summer is very green and so far has been very rainy. The people here are very nice and twangy. We are in the south and it is evident in everything around us.

So the first week we had here was full of fun and laughs. Rene Ron's mom came out with us so she could visit Danny Ron's younger brother who is stationed in NC. Ron missed his first day of work so we could go sight seeing with his family. This was fun and a nice break for him between school and work. 

This first week he had back at work was full of funny for me and awkward for him moments. First he was talking with a guy who was working in his garage who was waring shorty short shorts and gave Ron a view that he doesn't care to remember. Second he was called by some guys who were smoking and as it turns out they were all gay. Two of them were dating and visiting the third. As they were talking with each other the leader of the group asked him "were do you work out? the RUSH?" The 'RUSH' is a colorful fitness center here in TN. Ron said 'No, I work out at my school'. The  leader then says to his boyfriend "babe I want arms like that" (reference to Ron's arms). Ron is a buff guy, but felt a little weird by the compliment. Third Ron was out on  a lady's front porch who had a three year old daughter who was autistic. When Ron and the Lady were talking the sweet girl came and hugged Ron's leg. A little later she came up to him again and decided to pat his crotch. I'm sure Ron's eyes were wide with shock and embarrassment. Fourth this story is the weirdest and kind of gross actually. Ron was knocking on a door and a lady was inside on the couch and told him to come in. He was talking with her for a while when he realized she didn't have any pants on. She had a dish towel laying across her lap and a pillow shoved up against her side. So needless to say our first encounters with the people of Tennessee was a big warm up and close friendly welcome! Thankfully I have a great husband who works hard for me and deals with some of the stranger people in this world so he can provide for our family.
