Lunches

Several years ago Brenda and I started driving to Huntsville a couple of times a year and having lunch with Tony Barber. Originally, we always went to Rosie's because there wasn't a Rosie's here, but since that's changed we have been known to end up at Tim's Cajun Kitchen. We also have been known to end up at Publix and Trees & Trends and Atlanta Bread Company and Super Target. (You'll notice that three out of four of those places involve food.)

The point of that is, I wish I had started saving pictures then. But now's as good a time as any...so here are Brenda, Mary Anne and I celebrating Brenda's 51st birthday at Rosie's in Florence. There was a four foot tall tree with saucer-sized flowers on it involved, and I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Brenda holding that.

 

Randy B's trip

Hey Everyone,

 

Made it back from our Road Trip (again, if you've seen the movie "Wild Hogs" keep your comments to yourself).  It was awesome, had some rain Tuesday morning, but it quit about 1/3 of the way through the Dragon's Tail, but I'm officially a dragon slayer, we did it twice.  The only hitch was Tuesday evening when we got back to our chalet, the drive shaft broke on my bike, so Debbie and her son-in-law had to come get me and the bike Wednesday.  Thanks for the prayers (and the hot-tub) because they got me through it!!!!

 

Randy--The Dragon Slayer

This isn't funny.

Do YOU feel older? I don't. I saw a Simon & Simon rerun the other day, and their MOTHER was having her 40-year high school reunion. And there were these OLD people there. With like, hair do's. And brocade suits. And they looked so...middle-aged.

Good thing y'all don't look like that.

On a sad note...

...Rosemary Barber died this afternoon. She was a wonderful lady, and I know a Barber kid touched your life sometime! Visitation is Friday night and the service is Saturday.

Mother's Day Cookout

Well, I sent out the email seeing what everyone thought, and I think we're going to move this to June. Several of our regulars can't be there and since Kenny and I have to start on this REALLY early, we'll wait until more people can be there. In June.

Emails

Okay, if you'll remember...when I printed the email addresses I asked you not to abuse the list. Several people use their work email. The accounts have quotas. If you send several emails to these people at work, they go over quota and have other emails returned to sender. Emails having to do with the work they are supposed to be doing as opposed to reading emails from old friends.

PLEASE...do not send mass emails to the group list. (Unless you're willing to support these employees in the manner to which they have become accustomed when they lose their job because you sent them a friend email.)

Thank you.

And another thing

Linda Harrison had mentioned it would be fun to know when everyone's birthday is. Which, in hindsight, would have been a good question on the survey. But someone remind me when we start getting ready for May to DO THAT. Get birthdays.
