Friendship

The Fly Girls became friends 8 years ago today at the Falls Creek conf. center in OK. We established out Founder's Day 7 years ago and always set aside time each year to celebrate the blessing of our friendship.

Happy Founder's Day Steffi, Christa and Cheryl.

Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner.

I was sad to hear that Patrick Swayze passed away.

Like most of us who grew up in the 80s I am a fan of Dirty Dancing. I was not allowed to see it when it came out, however I did watch it at Stacy Lux's slumber party and didn't tell the Rents.

He will be missed.

In other 80s news. . . . Did anyone see the first part of the Oprah Whitney Houston interview yesterday. It got a lot of press so I watched only to find that it wasn't that interesting of an interview. Part two which is on today, promises an interview with Bobbi Christina who apparently spent time in an Atlanta rehab facility with her mother. Today's show may prove to be more interesting. We'll see.

Labor Day Weekend. Blogging Break Over.

I bet you all (and by "you all" I mean the 3 people who actually read this blog) thought I had disappeared for good. Not so - I guess I've just been on a little blogging break.

School has started and I'm getting back into a more regular routine now, so lets hope I can manage to post at least once a week.

This weekend was pretty much uneventful. Friday after school and cleaned out my big storage closet and put up my Fall decorations. I love Fall. I think I decorate for Fall as much as I do for Christmas. Saturday I stayed home most of the day except for a trip to Walmart. Sunday Christa and I headed to Crockett to meet up with Steffi and Tad, the Rents and Mama Thelma. We had a good time at Don Rafa's followed by yet another trip to Walmart. Monday I did absolutely nothing worth blogging about. Back to work tomorrow.


Here's my Autumn Open House!




Zoe welcomes you!

Notice the fab place mats that were a B-Day gift. - Thanks C and C

If you care to share your own open house, leave a comment with a link. I'll post a list of the links by the end of the week.

I'm back!

Sorry it's been so long. After my great trip to Savannah, I went to Nederland for a few days, then back home and then back to Nederland again. I promise to post more on my summer adventures this week. It's good to be home!

Hello from Savannah!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to post. We spent Sunday night in Atlanta. Monday morning we toured The World of Coca Cola. It was pretty neat. We arrived in Savannah around 5 pm. We ate Pizza at the Mellow Mushroom - Yum. We decided to get the trip off to an exciting start by going on a Savannah Ghost tour from 9:30 to midnight. Nancy, our guide was great. She told us some great stories as was sure to include the historical background as well as some of her own spooky Savannah experiences. She moved to Savannah from New Orleans in 2005. Today we met up with Christa and Cheryl and headed to Tybee Island for some good beach time. We also stopped by the Byrd Cookie Co. We are now getting ready to walk down to River Street and eat Seafood for dinner. Here are some pics from our trip so far. I didn't get too many good ones during the ghost tour, but Amy may have captured some orbs.

On the Road Again!

Amy and I are leaving in about an hour. Savannah - here we come!

Summer Vacation - Low Country Trip with Amy Jane!

The Coca Cola Museum, Atlanta Ga.

Just a few more days until we leave, I can hardly wait. We plan to spend Sunday night near Atlanta Ga. We will visit the Coca Cola Museum on Monday before heading south the Savannah.

Here are a few things a plan to do while in Savannah this summer. I know this is a rather long list and I may not have time to do all of these things, but here's hoping.

Eat at the Lady and Sons

Visit the Savannah Bee Co. and the Honey House

Have afternoon tea at the Gryphon Tea Room

Visit Back in the Day Bakery for the best cupcakes ever

Take a ghost tour

Shop on Broughton Street

Play on the beach on Tybee Island

Stroll through some of the 24 squares and Forsyth Park

Take some great scenic photos

Eat at Soho South Cafe

Visit one of the Historic Cemeteries

Visit the Byrd Cookie Co.

Walk on River Street

Have ice cream at Leopold's

This is the monument in Forsyth Park. When Zoe was a baby, she slipped through the iron gate and ran up the steps to the monument. It freaked me out. That was my first clue that she should only be walked on a leash.

We leave this coming Sunday June 7th and return the following Saturday!
