Friday Night Fish Fry

Could It Get Any Better?

"They threw a party there from dusk 'till dawn
Seems like everybody knows old sleepy John
He said next time I better bring you along
I'm comin' home to you"

Hama's party was today.   It rained but it didn't put a damper on the festivities. 

Family.  Food.  Friends.  It was a really nice party.  My brother and sis in law Amy really did a good job organizing and people went all out to make Hama's day very special.  There was a band, bbq....desserts just lined up AND this beautiful cake my cousin Sandra made.  I cannot imagine making anything this pretty:

 

We are headed to Key West early in the morning.  I'm very excited and tired from days of being on the go and trying to get ready for this trip.  I finally finished packing a few minutes ago and just need to go wash my hair and call my mother to make sure she knows her instructions for Earl and Eudora...the cats aren't too hard.

So have a great week.  I love all my photos from today but I only have time do put up a few.

Cheers!

 

 

 

 

The 4th weekend

We've made the hard time sing, we've made the miles roll by,
We've broken both our wings and still we've had the will to fly.
It ain't the memories, that make me talk this way,
It's more like someone pulled the plug before we ever saw the play.

Little girl, think it over one time
Before you break in your walking shoes.

Think it over one time ~ REK

My little cousin Autumn.

Nice unusual cool temps for a 4th weekend.

Great weather for Floyd Fandango today.

Last night we sat on the new porch.  The bass and tenor of the frogs performing our personal symphony.   Crickets chirping.  Off in the distance a dog barks.  The occasional blow from the horses.  And I drifted off to dreamland in my big puffy chair.

Thank goodness Toonces woke me to go to my real bed.

 

Have a wonderful 4th of July.

Let Freedom Ring!

Welcome July- the month for fun -

"He likes the bright lights and night life and good time friends
And when the party's all over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
-this good hearted woman, lovin' a good timin' man" ~

Busy week, busy weekend.

When is life NOT busy anymore.

Floyd Fandango is this weekend.  Sunday a party for my grandmother who just turned 90.  Bluegrass and bbq.  She is excited.

Monday the T man and I are jetting off to Key West for a spur of them moment vacation.  I'm very excited.  Hemingway house, the sunset, and mojitos are what I am really interested in.  Anything else is just gravy!

When I post this month I am using Willie quotes or Robert Earl Keen.  Maybe I should've used Mama Don't let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys for these photos.
