Crazy Lady

Ok, I was waiting to get my car aligned at Firestone the other day when I noticed that I was hearing someone whispering above the noise of the tv. I looked around. I spied this lady sitting across the waiting room. She seemed to be involved in a conversation, but I noticed there was no one next to her and neither was there a phone in her hand. So, I'm thinking she must have a blue tooth on the other side of her head. Shortly after brushing the idea aside that this lady might just be talking to herself, she stood up and began to wander about the waiting room. That's when I realized that not only was there no blue tooth and she really was talking to herself, but she was also answering herself and gesturing with her hands! I just had to take a photo.

Youth Camp '08

This year I had the "privilege" of helping cook for the Bible Methodist Youth Camp in Knoxville, TN. This was the youth camp I attended while growing up in TN. I had not been back to visit since 2000. It was great seeing some old friends, making new ones, and cooking in that awful, hot kitchen with no A/C! I do believe that at one point it was hotter in the kitchen then outside under the sun.

4th of July

Once again, 4th of July was a great time. Everyone gathered at my mom's place to enjoy the pig roast, food, fellowship, fireworks, and fun.

Texas de Brazil - Memphis

My boss, and a few others went to eat at a restaurant in Memphis called "Texas de Brazil". It is awesome! They serve about 14 different types of meats which they bring to your table on big skewers and then slice off the amount you want. It is delicious!

Baxter Update

This little guy is growing like a weed. He is so much fun. Already, he has learned to play fetch, sit, stay, and lie down on command. I don't think that's too bad for only being 12 weeks old. Now, if we can only get the potty training thing down...

Guess Who?

Can anyone guess who is in the photo below? This photo was taken in Detroit, MI in March 1955.

I Went to Jail...for Good!

On May 14, I was "arrested" and taken to "jail". This was all part of a fundraising event for MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association). I raised over $500.

Hobe Sound Choir

Last Sunday, April 20, I drove over to Pell City, AL to hear the Hobe Sound choir. Several of my family members were also able to attend. My cousin, Joyce, was once again in the choir this year.
The choir did a great job and it was good to see some old friends as well.
