Tyler and I went to a blueberry festival at a Protestant Church a few weekends ago. It’s funny, you parents drag you to these things that you complain about as tweens and teens as really cheesy and then you bring your kids to the same things! We didn’t know a soul but the people there were welcoming and friendly.
Tyler immediately went for the cupcake with blue frosting while I went for the more traditional blueberry short cake. We drank lemonade and then I convinced him to try something with actual blueberries in it, blueberry pie!
They had a band and Tyler immediately began dancing. He loves to dance. I tried to get him to dance with a little girl there but they were too shy. I was his dancing partner for a while.
Looking more like a concertgoer at Woodstock, Tyler gets into the peace and love by listening to Christian folk music!
I love summer nights like this. Whenever we go to something like this, Tyler always asks, “Can we come here again next week?” and I have to explain to him that these fairs and festivals happen only once a year. Fortunately our wonderful times together are a lot more often than that!

Emily Cullen is a pen-name. A former local radio personality for seven years, I still remain active in the voiceover business. My husband, “Grant”, and I have been married since 2002 and have already experienced the “worse, “poorer, ” and “sickness ” of marriage. We both suffer from chronic illnesses and diseases which have progressed. My diseases include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and most, recently and seriously, Lupus.
Despite all of the challenges we have faced, we were able to have a little boy, “Tyler,” born in September of 2006, which is the best thing to ever happen to us. Tyler has been classified as a “special needs” child with diagnoses which include Anxiety, OCD, and Tourette’s Syndrome. We also share our home with two cats.
We live in New Jersey and I enjoy reading fiction and learning more about taking care of my son. Before my son, I used to enjoy watching movies…watching television for that matter! Before Lupus I enjoyed fine dining and fine wine.
No longer able to work, I am now wondering, “What will I do with the rest of my (somewhat) young life?” Blogging sounds like a good start!
love it
