I am just "in my element" when I'm surrounded by family, old friends, yard sales, and thrift stores!
This past weekend M and I had dinner with my BFF from college and her husband at one of my all-time favorite restaurants. We dropped our children off at my parents on the way into town and met up with Jeff and Ann a little after 7. Ann and I were trying to remember if we had seen each other this past summer and finally decided that it had been the previous summer since we had last seen each other!! Yikes! We can't wait that long next time!
Have you ever had a friend that you just wanted to share with everyone so that everyone else would feel as blessed as you do?? to everyone you know?? Well that's my Ann! She's so sweet, so fun, such a great friend, wife, and mom, and I'm so proud that she's my BFF! We met about 18 years ago when we were both waiting tables in Tuscaloosa at Storyville. I guess you could say we bonded over salads, chicken fingers, fried cheese, and Chocolate Mess! We spent too many nights playing pool and shooting darts at Jackie's (does anybody out there remember Jackie's Lounge in Tuscaloosa??). She knows more "dirt" on me ...and she still wants to be my friend!
We have been through graduations, boyfriend break-ups (then getting back together and breaking up again), weddings, pregnancies, and babies! I am so thankful for such a rich, meaningful friendship!
I'll post more about the rest of the weekend later. Can't wait to share with you about my nephew's B'day party and the cutest party favors ever (see pics above)! And my really awesome yard sale and thrift store finds! But right now I'm thanking God for good friends, old and new!

Have we never alked about Jackies before. I spent a few Friday nights at Jackies when Joe was in Tusc at law school.
Glad you had so much fun! She sounds great!
Elizabeth - I bet you did! Do we need to road trip to T-town sometime?? I was thinking that Earl (?) may have dies by now. But I wonder if Jackie's lives on??
Barcaly - Actually...the two of you are a lot alike! I love you both!
tiff, why were y'all at the chiropractor's office? Ann hasn't changed a bit, she is still so beautiful, I love it you and she are still best friends. loved keeping my grandchildren - they were adorable and sweet, as always. love mom
Mimi, I wondered if anyone would notice the Chiropractor sign in the backdround. We were actually at the restaurant next door, but now that I think about it, we should have had our picture taken in front of Holley's store! She would have liked that!
