Mmmmmm, Motorboatin’

Day 177 (Written Wednesday June 6) ~ Ok, so you can blame Her for the title of this post. This is Her new favorite song and it is catchier than mono. I heard it for the first time tonight on the CMT awards and it is stuck in my head. I love the mandolin hook and the fact they drag out the word pontoooooon and drop the g off of motorboatin’. My reason for this post is not just to comment on one of the first country songs I’ve liked in 40 forevers, but to talk about our day at the river with friends. Yesterday we were invited by some of our good friends to join them, and several other of our good friends, for a cookout at their river house in Rogersville, Alabama. Our friendship is somewhat atypical because of the age discrepancies amongst us. We are the youngest of the group, clocking in at 36. The next youngest couple in the group is in their mid forties, and the other couples are between 50 and their 70’s. Do the math, when we were born, they were older than we are now! You would think that our group would have little in common, but you would be wrong. Here’s what we have in common: we love life, love to laugh and love being together.
