Guess Who Is Coming To My House?

Guess who's coming to
Grammy and Grande's house!

Yep!
My girl, Madisyn, and...

my boy, Tango, and...

my baby boy, Cash!

Yep, the whole gang will be here!

I am one happy woman!

Thanks to all of you who prayed for my daughter-in-law, Elena.
She is recovering nicely from her surgery.

What Would You Do?

Is there going to be justice
for the murder of this precious child, Caylee Anthony?
If so, when?
If so, whom?

I have to admit that I have been glued to my television
for 18 days watching the Casey Anthony trial.

I don't especially want to watch it,
but I can't seem to take my eyes or ears away from it.

Unless you live in some remote part of the country
that doesn't have CNN, you probably know that
Casey Anthony is on trial for the murder
of her two year old daughter, Caylee.

As with most murder trials,
the state's case is built on circumstantial evidence...
mounds and mounds of overwhelming circumstantial evidence.

Of course, the defense is trying to provide testimony
to create doubt in the minds of the jury.
That is their job.
Obviously, it doesn't matter how that doubt is created...
honestly or dishonestly...
whatever it takes.

Have you ever sat here...
on the witness stand?

Unfortunately, I have...
several times.
That is not a comfortable chair.
Smart, well-trained professionals play trickery with words and phrasing.
Winning or losing hangs in the balance of a misspoken word.

SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU
WERE ON THAT WITNESS STAND?

What if you were in the position of Cindy Anthony?

Your only grandchild is dead.
Your only daughter has been accused of that death.

Would you seek justice for your granddaughter?

Would you lie to save your daughter?

When you step up to that witness stand
and place your hand on the Holy Bible...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I have some definite opinions
(surprise, surprise),
but I want to hear yours!

I'm Putting On My Gold Lame In Honor Of The BIG Event!


A BIG, SEXY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to my Mr. President!


Today is my favorite man's big day!

Yep, Lurch has survived to see another year!
Woo Hoo!

Those who have traveled with us these last two years,
know it hasn't always been an easy journey!

So we celebrate that much more this year!
Yippee!

I feel so blessed to have shared my life with this man.

He has been the best husband ever...
not to mention the best father and grandfather!

He is always been by my side, providing...
encouragement...
understanding...
motivation...
laughter...
reason...
hope...
love.

I am a LUCKY woman!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LURCH!

And just remember...

"You just put your lips together and...
blow!"

Meet My New Angel!

We all know that I have been a bad girl
about blogging the last couple of months.

I have neglected saying some things that need to be said.
This is one of those things...

You know how I feel about my angels.

I am so positive that I have some angels who bless my life!

Another angel made her presence known
at the Spring Zapp Hall Antique Show.

Fortunately, my booth was moved to a new location
which was a blessing to my business.
Unfortunately, I left some good friends in our old location.
Lurch and I were the new kids on the block.

Then this angel came along...
in the form of a new vendor neighbor!

She took us under her angelic wings
and looked out for us!
She encouraged us, introduced us to new people
and showed us kindness in many ways...
including cooking for us!

Want to see my new angel?
I bet you know her.
If you don't know her, go visit her HERE.

--For Theresa--

Upturned lips, a serene face
Welcome me to this new place.
Chipped paint, worn wood and antique laces
Combine with SweetT’s social graces.

Encouraging words float in the air
Along with smiles to show she cares.
Her worldly possessions were offered to share.
She was, indeed, an answer to prayers!

Thanks, Theresa!

I Am Back and I Have A Secret!

I hope you missed me.

I hope you noticed that I was gone!

I have been away for a long time.
I have loads of stories to tell
and lots of catching up to do.

I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity.

I think today is a good time because...

I have a secret!


Today is somebody's birthday!
Oh, yes!
And it is a BIG, BIG birthday...
if you get my drift!

Can you tell who the birthday girl is
by looking at this picture?

She is the girl in the blue dress
and red hat!

Yes, it is...

Yep, it's Sue's birthday!
You know Sue, don't you?
She is my best bud!

You know what Sue is having for
her BIG, BIG birthday?

I hope she is having red velvet cupcakes
because she loves red velvet cake!

I'm not there to make her a red velvet cake,
but maybe she will run to Trader Joe's
and get a cupcake for herself.

In fact, maybe she will get two cupcakes
and pretend I am sitting with her and Sally
by the pool tonight!

However, I can GUARANTEE you that
Sue is having this tonight...
Yep.
Ain't no doubt about that!

So have a cold one for me, best friend!
No, wait!
Have three for me...
and three for you...
and imagine us doing the friendship dance
with our PK and KP tshirts on!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BFF!

Want to wish Sue Happy Birthday?
