Who Let the Dogs OUT!!!

Okay, don't get too excited about the title of this post. No disrespect intended. I just love that song, and it seemed appropriate for this bunch of girls, gals, ladies, whatever you call us.

It was time to have the monthly meeting of the minds. We missed Sherry and Wanda, but it was a good time. In the pictures are: Top; Marsha, Connie, Mary and Marie. Bottom; Marie, Nancy, Marsha and Connie. Guess who's missing. The picture taker.

We enjoyed hamburgers, fries, drinks and ICE CREAM!!! at Freddies. Just so you know who's who, Marsha is a cousin, Connie is Mary's step sister, and the rest of us you know. The faces change each time, but that's the beauty of the whole thing. It was so nice to catch up with Marsha, and see Connie. I had not seen her in a long time. Next month we are moving up scale and going to Olive Garden, so maybe we will dress it up a bit. If you are family, come and join us I am sure you have something to offer to the conversation.

EMI-Bear!!!

Emi-bear! Isn't that a cute nickname? It was given to her by her sister a long time ago. But it seems to fit her. She's a cuddly sort of girl. The first to give you a hug when you walk into the room, doesn't matter what type of room you walk into, if she is there, you get a hug! One of those in front of GOD and everyone. She is a loving young lady. I was going to say "girl", but she is going to be 13 in a few months, so I have to refrain from the girl thing. She busts out with personality plus. She is a master of one liners, and quite frankly, I wouldn't want to get in her face about anything. She is like her Dad in that respect. She's a take no prisoners type of gal.

One of the things I so enjoy about her, is the smile. It's always there, no matter what. Win loose or draw she is always smiling. I know with out a doubt that the smile comes from her Mom. WHAT A COMBO!!
