HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BETH

Btut, sister of Lisa Tutb had her 40th birthday party Saturday. It was at Andy-Randy's house, and Andy had decorated the yard with all these old crows. We had a lot of fun swimming, eating, drinking beer (of course). Happy Birthday Beth, and thanks for throwing the party, Andy.

Here is Beth and her walker. She opened her presents sitting on a potty chair! I didn't get pictures of that, but I will. I can just imagine the post I will use those pictures in!
Run Beth, run!!!!! They are coming to get you.

Quote of the day:

LL: Let's go take Beth's picture out front with will the crows.

TT: Oh yeah, it will be like that movie, you know, with all the birds in it, what was it called?

LL: The Birds

(The part of TT was played by Tami Treloar)

Adding Insult to Injury

On my way to work today I saw a Decatur cop pull over a van. I did a double take because the cop had actually pulled over the work release van. I am assuming the guy that drives all the other inmates to work was speeding.

I thought, "How ironic is that?" I mean, why would the cop choose to do that. Doesn't he know if they guy is driving the work release van, then he obviously is in jail? How is he going to pay the ticket on the $2 a day he earns in work release. You know all that money goes to by cigs and Ramen noodles from the canteen. Also, I guess the tax payers will have to pay the salary of the people who have to carry him to and from jail to go to court for the ticket.

I mean, give me a break Popo, there are plenty of people speeding on 565 in front of Racetrack to give tickets to.

(And no, I am not one of them)

Someone let the cat out of the bag....

...no, literally, please let Sally out of the bag.

She had been trying to get in this bag all week. It was on the table, then I through it on the floor, and she loves it! Cats are so funny.

...near this (the Temple of Athena in the Roman Forum)...

...and this (the Trevi Fountain).....

....and this (St. Peters Basilica - we had just been blessed by the Pope - he is under the white awning on the steps in front of the columns)....

...and of course this (The Colosseum).

I will never forget our trip.

My baby turned 18 in Rome. What a special memory. I love you Rayray.
