To Happy Land, Betty Ann's & Biaggi's!

Oops...I missed posting yesterday! It's because yesterday I had a double dose of being with family and friends!

My day started by going to "Happy Land" (known to most of you as brookHAVEN) to celebrate my daddy's birthday. Everyone was there except my bro-in-law Mark, who, coincidently was in the other place called "Happy Land" (aka: Starkville)...although yesterday was not so "happy"; and my dear neice Macey, who was trying to be "a light in the darkness" at that other school in Oxford! JK!!! We had a GREAT lunch and enjoyed just being with each other at my sister Robyn's house. Then, it was off to Betty Ann's! Lee said, "The quickest way to clear a house full of girls is to say, "Let's go to Betty Ann's". My sweet mom had already picked out some things for me, so I didn't even need to shop...after all these years, she still knows me best!

Last night Karyn and Michael Thornhill invited us to go to Biaggi's...and, oh, it was soooo good. Karyn and I had decided that we were going to drill Michael and Lee about why they didn't like The Shack. We have decided that if they thought the book was shallow, maybe it's THEM who are shallow!!! And what made the night even better was that Beverly joined us! I'll have to say that since Cherie wasn't there, Beverly used her own version of, "Whatcha haulin'?" to get to know our waitress (Quanda) and she was great! We learned that her mom is a nurse and has been conducting her own study with Ginko Baloba. She has given her children GB since they were about 12 and Quanda is a big believer! She is starting law school at Mississippi College next year. Quanda even took a pic of us with my camera, but I don't know how to get it onto my computer...that's for another day.
