We Love Visitors!

This past weekend we had several guests. Neil and I love it when our friends and family come to visit.

This is my best friend from college Stephanie. She and I lived together for 5 years. Let me just tell you those were some of the best years, if not the best , of my life. We have laughed, cried, participated in some of the most hilarious situations. To name a few:

standing on top of the cooler acting like "Smith" from Tin Roof

thinking someone broke into the house , but to find a bird in the house!

spun round and round in the culde sac

I spent the night in my car waiting for Steph because I didn't want to leave her, but all the while she was cozy in her bed!

Ok, just to name a few, most are inside jokes that only Stephanie will have the best chuckle!

Thanks for the visit.

We also had a short visit from Alyssa and Steven. Alyssa , my cousin, and her husband came to visit the Coke museum and the aquarium. Luckily we were home so they came by for a short visit. Thanks guys. We hope you can come back and stay longer. Miss you and see you Thanksgiving.

Ya'll Come Back Now, Ya Hear!!

Cowboy Curtis

This is the PERFECT Cowboy!! Always growing up my daddy loved horses, bulls, anything having to do with cowboys and horses. He took me to rodeos and taught me how to ride horses, as well. I think this is the greatest picture. Last weekend him and his wife Diane went to a Western Jamboree . Their Sunday school class always has get togethers and this was one of them. So he decided to dress up as a cowboy! I would bet the farm and say he WON!

So, on Halloween , DADDY you need to dress up like this again and have Diane dress up as a cowgirl , so you can give the kiddies candy!

Love and Miss You

CROCS! PLEASE TELL ME YOU DON'T OWN A PAIR

Crocs... who wears those things. I know I have a few friends that have them. If you are reading this post please forgive me and don't take it personal!!! I was in CROC HELL this weekend. I went to this cute little store down the street called Love Street. I walked in the cute little house and the next room was nothing but THIS....................

Can you believe all of these hideous shoes!! On my facebook page I am a member of the group, You look like a DumbA$$ for wearing crocs!! The group is something like that. They are a shame to women's shoes. Even guys, PLEASE don't wear these things, I DON'T CARE HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE, THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FOR ALL ETERNITY! If you look closely the shoe on top of the box, the black one. IT is a HIGH HEEL CROC! I nearly fainted .... that is a disgrace to the many sexy Stilettos I have in my closet. I have never in my life seen so many CROCS. There was even a smaller room just like this for kids. Again, it was CROC Hell!! BTW, I will forgive all my friends that a pair or two..... Love Yall!!!!

Rocky!!

This is my dog Rocky. He came with package when I got married. When Neil and I were dating , I honestly was a little scared off Rocky. I think it was because he growled at me once or twice. So, for those of you who don't know, I was bitten by a dog once in the face. I have a scare to prove it. So, maybe that is why I was a little nervous. Since Rocky has come to live with us he is my BUDDY now. He runs in circles when he see me coming, whines when I leave, and begs for me to pet him and give him treats! I let Rocky in our basement every once in a while so I can pet and love on him. He LOVES the couch. However, I have a hard time getting him to go back outside sometimes. He doesn't listen to me very well, but if Neil steps in he is off the couch and out the door. Neil was away on business for a couple of days this week. So, I let Rocky in for a few minutes which turned into longer than just a few. I couldn't get him up. He was not budging for nothing.

So, when I tried to get him off the couch by saying "Come on Rocky" about a gagillion times, I got this picture of him.

DO YOU SEE THIS... HE IS STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT AT ME! He wasn't going anywhere for a while. So I had to sit back and let him waller around on the couch for a while. I guess if you give it enough time they grow on you because I just let him enjoy himself even though it was my bedtime.

I saw the beauty!

Today Neil and I went to drop off some JUNK at the Goodwill. Well, a little secret of mine is that I enjoy going to the Goodwill. I like to look at other people's JUNK. As I was browsing the store, I came upon two topiaries. I thought to myself those would be so beautiful on my new buffet at Christmas. The bottoms were ugly. Just your basic terracotta look and a terrible hand made bow attached. I guess someone didn't see the potential in them like I did. Below is the top of the topiary, Perfect for Christmas.


Here is the bottoms. I am such a goof. I was so excited I didn't take a before picture of what it actually looked like.
Here is the terrible bow that was attached.
However, after a can of gold spray paint and removing the bow they look like this!


Aren't they pretty! I spent 4.50 for both topiaries and 4.00 for gold spray paint, 8.50, NOT TO SHABBY!!!
