RIVERFEST

Hope to see some of you at Riverfest tonight and tomorrow!

This has been a very sad week for Rachel and I. I lost a good friend and she lost her Aunt Cindy.

Hopefully spirits are lifting and things will get back to normal soon. Thanks to my reader (s? - all two of you) for being patient about the blog. I have a lot of material to blog about and will have even more after this weekend.

Be safe out there!

Do you remember...

...your first album? This was mine. I used to have to hide it from my brothers. One day I did not, and they broke it. I was heartbroken until it was replaced. I can't believe I thought Shaun Cassidy was sooooo hot!
Have a good weekend!

SOUTHERN SMOKED THURSDAY - Dry Run Part Deux

(Thanks Wino Bill for the suggestion)

Lil' Bit 'O Smoke did another BBQ dry run this weekend. It was at the Big Dawes house. Lots of good food and good friends! My vidalia onion casserole was a success....

Cheers to LBOS! Here they are doing their traditional shot of brown liquor after all of the cooking was done. Hope you all come to Riverfest and watch the team compete. Good luck AndyRandy, the Big Dawes, Bear, Btut and TCW!
Here is the official Dry Run Part Deux (I love saying that) display. I should have taken a picture of the kitchen table. It was laden with lots of delicious food.

Hello L Big Dawes. Thanks to you and J Big Dawes for having us over to eat drink and be merry.

You would think that Wino Bill and Andy were arguing. They were bitching about me making them pose for pictures!

Bear and Baby Bear conked out watching football. Momma Bear and Little Bear were sitting close by. I love how Bear uses his Baby as a pillow.

Happy Thursday.

WHAT TO SHARE...

I was going to post the results of the Great Bathroom Debate of 2010 (you remember - the correct steps to entering, taking and leaving a shower), but I can't find where I stuck the responses. That's ok. Nobody got it right. In other words, nobody thought the way I shower was the best way. So, they were wrong.

I just read on one of my favorite blogs that I should blog everday, even if it just a picture with a caption. Just something. I also read that I should thank my readers often, so thank you.

Since I have lost all of the wrong responses to the GBD of 2010, I have decided to share with you the contents of my purse! This decision was made when I discovered a loose peanut M&M in there minutes ago. I know you must be very excited to read on!

1. orange peanut M&M
2. hard dock hugger with my camera inside
3. Broadway Diner (Atlanta) coupon
4. Fox theater brochure
5. two wet naps (unused - don't be gross)
6. zaxby's receipt
7. wallet
8. 2 peppermints
9. exterior master key for new work building
10. Panama Jack lip balm bought 4 summers ago
11. 3 pens
12. 1 pencil
13. Bud Light Auburn football schedule (yes, for this season)
14. pink highlighter
15. 2 dollars
16. tube of neosporin
17. wine cork (no idea - oh wait, I remember. Bottle of wine from Simp McGee's - I wanted to remember the label so I could buy it. Called Writer's Block, and I think Shakespeare is on the bottle
18. cell phone
19 paperclip
20. 2 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, 7 pennies (in other words 97 cents)


There you have it! Interesting read, no? Hope I didn't loose any of you!

Have I thanked you for reading my blog?
