BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULYYYYYY

We pulled a fast one on my grandma today and pulled up at her birthday cook out by surprise. She was born on the Fourth of July 80 years ago. We had a great dinner and delicious desserts. Happy birthday, Grandma! We love you!

The trip today was the first leg of our journey to Chicago. The road trip was a fun one. We started things off talking about a protest song to contribute to the NC Music Love Army. It's a group of musicians who are fighting for change in North Carolina using the power of music. I've wanted to write a song with Jon forever, and I'm hoping this will work out on that. There is certainly nothing that riles me up more than what's going on in the NC Legislature right now. Even if we don't submit anything, I would really like to get a finished project out of this collaboration. If we don't get that far, I hope we have a good time :)

The second topic that came up was Grandma's Genius, and we totally think there should be a retrospective. 

Jude read most of the trip, but he took a little media break to watch "My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic" and "Justice League." The picture is from when he was watching "Justice League." He had called out that Superman had been poisoned, and he was a little tense about it. He started holding his pug when the action got too hot. The My Little Pony DVD came with our ponies we bought last week. So cool that he likes them because I LOVED My Little Ponies when I was little. It's also nice to have something we can play with that doesn't involve fighting.

After lunch we started listening to Harry Potter: The Sorcerer's Stone until we got to my mom's house. I had forgotten how much humor there was in the series. Listening to it is such a cool experience. I'm so glad to share one of my favorite book series with my fellas. Jude didn't really tune in the whole time, but every time we changed CDs, he asked for an update on the story. 

We're off to the Windy City tomorrow!
