SURVIVOR, RACHEL'S CHICKEN, AND MORE

Huge shout out to TCW for hosting the 5th Annual Survivor Finale Party.  It was so much fun spending the evening with Rayray, Wash, Btut, Wino Bill, Lisa TutB and him.  We had a wonderful dinner (Rachel's chicken), great cupcakes (TutB) and good company.

As we all thought, Kim was the sole survivor.  We have so much fun watching that show together and making fun of people.  We really let them have it last night!  I am kinda surprised the house didn't get struck by lightening.

It was a good end to a rather stressful Mother's Day.  Taking Gma to lunch proved to be quit an event.  I will just leave it at that...I have to stop before my blood pressure gets to high.  Thanks to Wash and Rayray for being there with me.  I love you.  And thanks to all the everyone at TCW's for sharing in our pain.

Happy Monday....(is that an oxymoron?)

SOUTHERN FRIED THURSDAY

"CEDAR SPRINGS!....."

...my Mom barked at the billings clerk at Decatur General Emergency room this morning at 12:45.

She has this idea that everyone in Decatur knows the street address of Cedar Springs Retirement Community by heart, and all she has to say is she lives at "CEDAR SPRINGS."  She has barked it as her address at the DMV.  She has barked it as her address at the Social Security Administration.  The next time you see Rayray, get her to do her Gma impersonation.

Back at the hospital...

LL:  That is not the street address, she needs the street address.  2505 Spring Avenue.
Mom:  Where did you get that?
LL:  Off your drivers license.
Mom:  There's a green card in there with the address on it.
LL:  I don't need the green card.  I already gave her your address.  Just because the card has "Cedar Springs" at the top does not mean it is part of your physical address.
Mom:  Well, let me see it.
LL:  Your drivers license?
Mom:  No, the green card.
LL:  (handing her the green card in exasperation)  See.
Mom:  Hum...you're right.

Anyway, we got home (me at 1:30) and she is alright.

I was planning on spending my Wednesday at happy hour then watching Survivor.  I guess God thought I needed a dose of humility.

ARTSEY FARTSEY

Us girls got our creative groove on last Friday night.  L BigDawes, Btut, Lisa TutB and myself went to a painting class to raise for Relay for Life.  We painted "Birds on a Wire." 

It was a hoot...literally!

Here they and trying to get our backgrounds to dry so we can continue with the creative process.  And, yes, that is my glass of wine in front of my painting that Lisa TutB is so graciously fanning for me!  Go TutB!

And the finished products!  We were all pleased with our paintings...I think is is really neat how they are very similar, but also reflect our individuality.  I will definitely go to another class.

Us being funny...the caption of the picture is "That is supposed to be what?!?!?"


Did you even notice that we had turned our pictures upside down?  We're funny like that.
