In Honor of a very dear friend.....
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." ~Mark Twain
Tonight, in my sadness, I realize how precious life is. How short life is. How beautiful life is if we take the time to stop........slow down........and live it. With appreciation of it.
My very good friend and college roomate's husband died today. And man, oh man......what a guy he was. So kind. So fun. So damn good-looking that all the gals in college wanted him. But Georgie got him......and there couldn't have been a better couple. With three of the most beautiful girls to show for a marriage of 32 yrs.....they were blessed. And now, they must learn to live without him. And they will, for they are strong. I am so proud of my friend for her courage and her strength and for the unending love she showered on that man. She was lucky to have him, but he was even luckier to have her. I feel she made his life complete.
Yeah.......back in the day, we had big plans to graduate and hit the Big City together. Live as independent women and make a difference in the world. HAHA.........we both got engagement rings on the very same night, unbeknowing to both of us and had our little candlelight ceremony on the exact same night in our sorority! We graduated together in May .... I got married in June, she got married in November!! Suffice it to say.....we never hit the Big City together but have stayed forever friends since 1973 when we first moved into the dorm together!
My heart bleeds for her tonight and it is such a helpless feeling. I want to turn back time and tell her it will all be ok. I want to hold her and let her cry it out for days. I want her to know that I am here for her at any time, any day or any second she needs me. And I will be. When everyone goes home and life goes on for everyone else.....I'll be here for her.
So Mike, my friend..........have some peace now. Let your body fade away so your strong, healthy soul can carry you on. You deserve it. And be consoled knowing that all of us still here will take care of your sweet family while you look down on them with pride.
And while you're at it up there, could ya pull some strings so our LSU tigers will take their thumbs outa their butts and win this national championship?? I know you watched tonight from some fluffy cloud..........get on that , would ya?!!!

The Grin of a Birfday Girl!!
She came into the restaurant just a grinnin'!! Saying all the way to the table.....I'm having a birth-day party....I'm having a birth-day party......so adorable. She tries to make it be a group activity but we always know it's really just all "about HER"!!! But hey....it's supposed to be just like that on your birthday, so we babied her and fed her and surrounded with the most important stuff .....PRESENTS!!! It was a very fun time and so happy that we made the bebegirl happy!Hope the rest of your day gave you as much joy as you gave to us today...

A little gifty from the Farm Chicks show! ^^
And we kinda stayed for quite a while.....cleared out the entire restaurant and then we got a little trailer trashy hanging out in the booth!!! (Those were sandy's words...not mine!! heh.)

I'm a BAD BAD kitty............
I kinda stink when it comes to blobbing. I keep forgetting that I should be updating.........oh well..I'll blame it on being summer. A hot hot summer, I may add.
But today is a good friend's birthday, hence the bad kitty reference above ^, and tomorrow is a real life friend's birthday.....not to say that the aforementioned friend isn't a real life friend.....Heh! Met her on the entrynet but she has graced my door a few times and I've wrecked hers that many times as well!! so I plan to post some birthday wishes for them both today and tomorrow!

Hmmmmmmm....wonder which one of these is the birthday girl?? Well, the one in the center with both hands full isn't it. And the cutie pie on the right isn't it. So.....it must be the "BAAAD KIIITY" on the left!!!
Happy Birthday sweet clisa......hope your day brings you as much laughter as you bring me!!

Landscapes & Lagniappe from the PNW
Some group shots, Musette..our monkey that I will explain later!..a butt shot of a friend who I always take a butt shot of, for some s-t-r-a-n-g-e reason ?? Car interior that actually stayed for most of the trip!
Crazy girlfriends!
(and yeah, that watch reads 9 PM..and look how light it still was!
I was amazed)
Bottom pic...throwing good luck pennies simultaneously into a mountain stream!

The Road Trip!
Ok. I'm going to 'try' and write about my trip to Spokane WA and everywhere in Idaho! 'Try' I say because it was so crazy and so fun and most of it really should not be written about....simply because I have some crass friends who say bad words and do bad things and well.....nothing illegal or anything against any rules....but just highlarious, which always leads to pictures that really should not be put anywhere....much less on the internet!!So..........my trip began by flying to a good buddy's house in Spokane to get ready for the Farm Chicks vintage flea market. I landed about 1pm and they whisked me off to see some sites...IE: several cool bars with beautiful views of the river and its falls. We ended up back at ms.l's house to welcome surprise visits from friends and many more beverages....all night long!

With faces like these, the Spo Ho's, who wouldn't want to drink these yummy margaritas???


And then there was something like this that made me make a sign to read each morning!
(click on pic to enlarge) (I will have continue this later because I kid you not.....I cannot find the few actual pics I took to share from the Farm Chicks! I have so many pics of the whole trip; yet, cannot find the images of what I really went up there for!! Sheesh!!)
....on the other camera! whew!!
So.....I entered with all intention of taking loads of pics. But within minutes of being surrounded by so much stuff and so much fun, I kinda forgot to take the pics. And then when I did, everything started to look the same. So I'll just post a few and keep the memories of that day in the ol' brain...uh-oh......


The actual "chicks" signing their brand new cookbook......which they ran out of during the show. Still can't understand that. I'd have had a truckload out in the parking lot, knowing how many women would be there!

Finally...........I get to say it!!
Ahhhhh.....sleep....
Got home late yesterday and had a full 10 hrs. of sleep last night!!!! And it's kind of a rainy day here.........heat and humidity ~ gotta love it! That dry air up north is tough...dry skin and wearing so many clothes just ain't right for summer days in June!!!
I'm going to work on my pictures today and try to get a lil photojournal going today of the trip!

Ok.....This is a leetle bit embarassing!
I've been in the PNW for 3 days now and I have downloaded pics to my computer several times and I cannot find one that is clean..um, Imean worthy of including here without fear of jail time or a lawsuit from my friends!! Cereally!!
My cheeks hurt and my belly muscles hurt from laughing. Why is it that a bunch of old women....well, I guess I'm the only old one but I like to think they're all as old as me...can have so much fun together? It's not always good clean fun but man, oh man.,..it's fun. And stories that we will be telling our grandkids.....oh wait, not them, but we'll keep on telling them and re-hashing them for the rest of our lives.
Suffice it to say that there has been some major drinky poos consumed, some hilarity in a few bars and restaurants and NO SLEEP.
And we did do the thing I actually came up to do....,.,the Farm Chicks flea market. It was awesome and very overwhelming, Two huge rooms in huge colliseum filled to the hilt with junkin' treasures and more ideas than I can even imagine. And all done with the most major hangover to date. So even tho we weren't quite up to par in the walking and walking and looking and touching..........we did have fun there. Didn't take alot of pics because as I said, it was overwhelming. So much to see and remember that I forgot to take the pictures. And the vendors there? Amazing. And quite hilarious to see them in all their costumes and tutoos and cowboy boots.
I promise to get some more appropriate images up and posted soon.
But tomorrow is fun-filled with the promised road trip! Car will be interior decorated with the appropriate beach themed decorations and "Road Trip" t-shirts made by Ticklish Mermaids will be worn by all! We pick two up from the airport and hit the road to McCall, Idaho for tomorrow night where one of our buddies has a cabin on a lake. We're hitting all the back roads and stopping wherever and whenever our lil hearts desire..........
But after only 4 hrs of sleep the last two nights, it's time to hit the sack for now. A good night's sleep and we'll all be good to go and conquer another night of debauchery!!!!

Leavin' on a jet plane...........
Why is it that when you have to get up at 3:30 am to get ready to leave your house at 4:30 to drive to the airport to be there by 5:30 to fly out at 6:30........whew! I'm already tired........that under no circumstance can you fall asleep at a reasonable hour??????
Oh, I don't know.............excitement maybe? Dreams of good friends, vintage flea markets, lemon drops and dirty martinis...............just dancin' around in this ol' head!!!
Some of you that blob may be familiar with The Farm Chicks. Really cool gals that have loads of really cool stuff. And they're hosting a huge-a-mongus flea market this weekend in the PNW. And I'm so there!! And then, after we lose the farm....heheheh......get it? spend all our money at the farm chicks...?? lose the farm??? oh, ok,.,,getting a bit corny now. Anyway, after the weekend, 6 or so of us are loading up in the suburban and hitting the road. Yep! You heard me....ROAD TRIP!!!! We're going thru several states......not that my geographical skills will contribute any valuable information, but I do have a suitcase load full of "stuff" to make our lil car feel like home for 3-4 days!! Anyone read tequilla in that last sentence??!!!
I have no pics to include tonight but after tomorrow night, I'm sure the editing room will be verah busy. These chicks are funny. I mean really, really funny....and they love a camera in their face!! So, off to bed for now and hoping flights go off with few hitches. And that when I drive outa the driveway in the morning, sophiejane will not be looking at me from the back of the chair KNOWING that when I tell her I'll be back in a little bit.........she'll know it won't be for a whole week!
