STATUES


"If a statue of a person on a horse depicts the horse with both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes."


I thought this was interesting. Then I researched it a little more and found it is only correct ~ half of the time, but I had already typed it up, so I am posting it anyway.


CHEERS!

Hey - Hope you all have a great weekend....I will be doing some of this....

...and hopefully swimming some at Point Mallard. The sun needs to shine this weekend. I am feeling moldy again.

Jimmy and I are taking his daughter Jamee to dinner tomorrow at Simp's. That will be good food and good fun.

PIRATES

Jimmy taught me something on the way to Mobile. He asked me if I knew why pirates wore eye patches. I said, "because they had an eye injury?" I knew that was not the answer, or he wouldn't have asked the question.

"No," he said. "They wore patches so that when they go below in the hull of the ship, at least one eye is already adjusted to the darkness. That way they do not have to wait for their sight to adjust, and can see immediately when going below deck." Wow, my Boyfriend is smart! It does make sense. Especially in a situation where they are going below on a ship they have just taken over.

Thank goodness the sexiest pirate ever didn't wear an eye patch......

BYEBYE

Byebye (Spike) Are you snuggled up in your blue banky all warm and sleeping? You are so cute, I just have to take your picture.
"Wait, did someone just take my picture? What is sticking out of Meme's head?"
"Why must she distract me from my sleep? Is that the evil cat over there? She (the cat) probably put her up to it."


"Crazy woman, if you don't mind would you please put that down and let me get back to doing what I do best? Being so damn cute! Wait, here is my best angle."




YUMMY, YUMMY

I ate this on Sunday. It was absolutely delicious! If you ever get a chance to eat at Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur, do. And get the BBQ chicken potato! You will not regret. I was only able to finish about 3/4 of this one, and I was proud of myself.

You can tell I am a pro at this if you look in the upper left hand of the picture. See, I requested extra white sauce!

Just roll with me....

...It all makes perfect sense in my mind. I got the idea to keep a journal from my friend Lisa M. She has been keeping journals for years, taping or stapling stuff in them to remind her of things, jotting down quick thoughts, or even just doodling. I decided that I needed to do that too, because I thought it was cool. So, I bought this journal....
...But If I was going to be really serious, I would have to take the journal with me wherever I went. So, logically, I would need a new purse within which to hold my prescious, remarkable thoughts and inspirations via the "journal." Tadaaaaa...

And of course, I can't have a pretty, new white leather summer purse and still use my winter wallet, can I? No, hence, a new bright pink wallet! Yea!
But wait....you ask, what is this new item? Not the beautiful, prince of a dog, but the paper work. I don't know, lets move in for a closer look....


Is it? Can it be? Yes, it is the warranty for a new ring I also just had to have. It is only logical to go to Belks to buy a bathing suit, and end up with a journal, a new purse, a new wallet, and now, a ring. Somewhere I can see a rhyme to the reason....Yea, in my crazy head!

(The voices made me do it.)
I would show ya'll the ring, but it is being sized.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend. Come to Decatur and watch the balloons!
Love
