WHERE'S MY BOO?

There she is....

Rachel's friend Graham told me Saturday morning that he had taken the best picture of Rachel ever. He went out to his jeep to get his camera to show me. This was the picture.

SOUTHERN FRIED THURSDAY

I have a wonderful group of friends - good, old friends - some I have known as long as I can remember. These quotes made me thankful for all my friends, and thankful for being Southern

"There's the Southern sense of belonging to a group - the feeling, often, that it's 'we' telling the story rather than 'I'. - Anne Tyler

"That's the spirit in which I was raised. Open y'doors, open y'hearts, open y'fridge." - The Lady Chablis

"I cry, not from reaching any conclusion by reasoning, but because, lowly as I am, I am still part of the whole." - Ernest J. Gaines in "A Lesson Before Dying"

"The vibe in that musty, beer-strewn dressing room felt as familiar as a family reunion, and I noticed that my own drawl had sneaked right out of me without my having realized." - Mark Kemp, VP for MTV

"...somehow we'll all instinctively wind up in the same spot. That's when we smile." - Michael Houser, Widespread Panic

TALES FROM TUNICA

TCW, Btut and I took a mini vaca to Tunica, MS this past weekend. Joined by Triple T and BigD on Sunday - and boy did we have a BLAST! We were laughing so hard at our blackjack table I thought my cheeks were going to crack. Everyone was watching us because we were having such a great time! Here are a few little bits to help us remember our wonderful time.....

"Laura Leigh you are saying it wrong...it is Tewnica not Toonica" - Btut

"I am goin' to the room. I lost $75 in an hour." - Btut
"More like 17.2 minutes." - Lsquare

"I like you...let me get my lips ready." - Calvin to anybody who got 21

"I don't like anything soft." - Btut

"Gotbleechtaba...ooh" - TCW

"Well, we all know diarrhea is smart..." - TripleT (none of us had a clue...)

"My Tunica name is Anastasia Beaverhousen...your's can be Wild Cherry." - Lsquare

"One and one we were having some fun, in the bedroom, all day and all of the night.
Two and two I took off my shoes....." Btut, Triple T, Joe (player) and Tonnie (dealer) singing the 2 Live Crew song

"EVERYBODY HERE WANTS TO BE AT OUR TABLE"

"Hell, hand me the beer...I'll take one for the team." - Btut

"It's the Johnster" - Joe
"The Johnmeister" - Btut
"The Johnanator" - TripleT
(Saying hello to our relief dealer who put us in funeral mode)

"Laura, let me tell you what Tim has been saying about you..." - Tonnie

"Amy, do you have to pee? Sweetheart you need to go try." - Btut, to Amy who waited 2 hours to get a spot at our table

"...and that's Amy. It's her birthday, and she has a bladder the size of a peanut." - TCW to a new girl who sat down next to him

"How much do I got?" - everyone at some point to the dealer (its gets hard to count)

And last but not least.....

"Ooooh, can I have your cherry?"
"Honey, that was gone a long time ago." - Anonymous

INDEPENDENCE DAY

"Our country...may she always be right; but our country, right or wrong." - Stephen Decatur
Hope ou all have a safe and happy 4th of July.
