My first trip to "Shady Oak" hunting club.

Does this fire not look perfect for story telling?

Does this chef not look delicious? :)

Does this make me want to go back?

Yep!

If you are having a cookout whistle straws are a must.
It's a promise they will be a hit!
 DO it!

This is....

We enjoyed our Bama Jam trip!
It was hot tamale but we didn't let it stop us from trotting around for the good music.

My favorite? Citizen Cope!
They are amazing....

 I was very impressed with the Zack Brown Band, too. So the boyfriend and I went to Wally World and purchased their cd and I refuse to listen to any song other than "free". I think they were cd purhcase worthy after seeing them live because they were throwing in some cover songs including a greatful dead jam! I wouldn't mind seeing them live again but I just don't care about their songs about liking their chicken fried and such....

Colt ford is hilarious, on the other hand. He can talk about his chicken being fried all he wants. He is huge and isn't afraid to tell all how much he loves food and county girls. They were all awesome entertainers especially the girl playing the fiddle.

all together the weekend was fantab! a little more country than i'm used to as far as majority of the music but i had my "boots made for walking" with me so it was all a-ok!

I fell in love with a little old man hat, introduced myself to the man wearing it, and WA-BAM! Look what a sweetheart.... he even put the hat on my head for me.

 

Dear Mr. Curry,

I never saw you again to prove that I was true to my words but I can promise and pictures can prove -

I NEVER TOOK THE HAT OFF OF MY HEAD THE ENTIRE WEEKEND just as I said!!

(and to be honest have worn it a good handful of times since BamaJam)

Thank you again for being so kind to a funky monkey like me. I really do love my party hat and so does the boyfriend. There is one thing I know for sure... it makes him party harder than me!

See...

Thank you and have a good night!

love,

m

Can you pretend with me that today is Father's Day again? It was only eight days ago, right?
Any who, let the pretending begin....

My Daddy = 
A man that I love and respect....
Someone who has a heart of gold..
He can out cook anyone. (promise)

A hard worker.
Always has the yard looking beautiful and the pool extremely clean.

Loves him some good music....and has the knowledge about musicians that will blow your mind. (stating the obvious- that's where I get my love for music) Oh and he likes it turned up loud.... another bonus.

This is one of the best things I have witnessed in awhile.. A Janis cd he burned sitting on the front seat of this...

Don't you know he is just the cutest thing ever riding around jamming to Janis? Well, I do.

I love my Daddy.

Happy (late) Father's Day to him.

Today I refuse to rush through my most recent happenings. As I've already griped about - computer karma for some reason. So I am very fortunate to go cray-cray with Internet access all day! I am still without a working laptop all to myself in my life right now. I rode to Troy with the engineer this morning because he has some work to do in this big city. So, I am at the parentals uploading (lots) of pictures and plan on sharing  them and the latest  gossip in my beautiful mess of a life. I'm sure of it this time! Happy Monday!

love,

oh i will be back for bookoodles of blogging today. prepare yourself.

I just got a text from the old roomie I had in Destin, Florida.
The text was a group of questions.
"What was the golf resort you worked at when we lived at the beach?"
"What was the name of that thrift store that you always shopped at?"
"What was the name of our neighborhood?"

ummmm.....I am RARELY known as the one who remembers everything but with this group of questions I found them all more than simple to answer. I think Amy took an "erase the summer of 2008 memories" pill or something crazy.

 We only made songs up about my work.... were known when we walked in the door of the haven thrift store.... and used the Bayside neighborhood clubhouse and pool after hours (only) plenty of times.

It made me laugh to say the least thinking back on that summer. So, thanks for forgetting and depending on me to remember before I closed my eyes tonight. That was a perfect bedtime story for me.

boo!
i do not like the dentist. never really have.
but i must admit there are things higher up on the hate list of mine. many things.
i just don't love love when the time comes for the must-have dentist trips.
tomorrow is one of those times.
on the bright and sunny side the sister has a twin appointment with me.
yep, that's right. we are going together.
joined at the hip like typical girls are when time for a "potty break" comes.
so tomorrows dentist appointment isn't as dreaded as most.
because i love spending time with the sister.
dentist appointment or not.

i hope everyone enjoyed this monday!
love,
m
