Chicken & Dumplin' Party 2009

Each year my sister, Mary, has her annual "Chicken & Dumplin's Girl Party" while her husband Roy is gone deer hunting.

This is the pot o' dumplin's BEFORE we started eating!

This is the pot AFTER we finished!

My great-niece, Natalie, had worked the night before (she's an RN in the nursery of a hospital) and she'd been up for 25 hours. She got a full tummy and went sound to sleep!

This is my sister Martha.

This is my niece Melody.

This is LaRue Lawson (Mary's best friend).

Mary and our cousin Susan.

This was her first C&D party!

Susan brought this apron for Mary...anyone that knows us, knows that this is so true!

Me with Susan

Weekend at Wendy's - Nov 14

Wendy (with Toby), Me and Larry

Before we left to go to the Rob Zombie concert.

It was so much FUN!

My sweet Larry!

We went out by the lake at Ray Hubbard on Saturday - it was such a beautiful day!

Music...Music...Music!

On Friday - the 13th...Larry's taking me to see ROB ZOMBIE!!!!! WoooHOOOO! This will be my first time to see him! He's also taking my niece Wendy...she's a HUGE fan too!

On Dec 6th, he's taking me to see KISS! This will be my 4th time to see them and I am too excited!

Clint's Halloween Party 2009

Mr. Skeleton was at the table - daring someone to try the Ouija board!

This dude obviously waited TOO long for a pool partner.

If you can't read my shirt, it says "The Road WELL Traveled".

One set of trick or treaters brought their little Yorkie. Don't know if you realize it, but that's my "AWWWWWWWWW" face! He was just kissing me so sweet!

This was Larry's position for most of the night. He thought it was quite funny to SCARE the bejeebers out of kids before they got to the door!

This is me with my own personal Michael Myers......Larry!

The Gangsta's....Clint and Carol.

I'm not quite sure why I looked green here....

but you obviously can tell that I didn't have a sore throat!

This is the great nieces and nephews.

Back Row: Megan and her boyfriend Dillon

Front Row: Develon, Cayla & Trenton

Great-Niece Destiny Turns 12

On Saturday my great niece, Destiny Theye, turned 12. There was a party at their house out in Roxton, complete with hotdogs, sandwiches, ice cream and cake! YUMMY!

Here's Miss Desi opening all her gifts.

This is Desi's parents....my niece Lisa and her "Yankee" husband Elroy.


This is her cake...vanilla on 1 side and chocolate on the other.

I can't believe she's getting so big!
it seems like yesterday........
