Today at lunch (while we were eating poboys supplied by our courtesy committee) I discovered something a little disheartening - I was the oldest person in the room! I'm older than my principal, assistant principal, master teacher, secretary, and the others I eat lunch with. There is one lady who is a year younger than me and she and I were talking about how wierd it is to be in our 50's but not at all feel that old. Honestly - I feel like I am in my mid 30's. Getting old is just wierd!
So this weekend my family is having a family reunion with our cousins from the Marmande, France Region of Europe. It's been a long time since I saw many of my cousins so I am really looking forward to going. Janice and Larry will be here also which will be nice. I haven't seen her since last summer. The cousins from France speak French - obviously - so there will be a langauge barrier - but I hear they look like some of my Uncles so that will be neat to see.
Time for Grey's Anatomy...

Let's try this again
April Flowers
Since ya'll are not here to see my beautiful flowers I thought I'd post two if my favorites. I just love this time of year - today is a beautiful day with cool breezes - Gee is working on the vet - my flowers are in full bloom - and I just took a nap on the "ham" - it doesn't get much better than that!
Friday afternoone Dad called to invite us to eat crawfish - and since Gee is on call I went by myself. We had a nice visit and I brought Gee the leftovers, promising Mom and Dad I would make crawfish pie with the ones he didn't eat. Well - Saturday - Gee called me from work saying he had two free sacks of crawfish! So we decided to boil them and peel them - which we did till our fingers were screaming! Today we made crawfish pies and crawfish etouffee - yummy! This is what I love about Louisiana - we have the best food by far! Hungry anyone?

Seven things
OK- now it's my turn:
Seven things I can’t do:
Whistle - you probably inherited that from me, Britt
Bite cold things.
Stay awake super late.
Lie without laughing - I never get anything over on anyone!
Ride a bike - I need to relearn.
Talk on the phone while driving - I can do this but don't like to.
Drink and drive.
Seven things I can do:
Find my way around - I have a good sense of direction.
Make stained glass windows.
Chill out by myself - I don't have to have a lot of people around.
Be patient.
Read all day!
Lay around on a beach, mountainside, or near a pool with a good magazine/book.
Teach children how to talk clearly.
Seven things I want to do before I die:
Travel to Hawaii and the Florida Keyes
Play with my grandbabies
Travel to Bali and Italy
Learn how to make pottery.
Travel to every state in the US
Retire
Did I mention travel?
The Seven dwarves are (google is cheating!):
Who cares
Seven things I say most often:
Look at me!
Such is life.
How was your day?
Hmmmmmm
Really?
Are you kidding me?
Oh well.
Seven movies I love:
Little Women
Steel Magnolias
Old black and white movies
Julia Roberts movies
Sandra Bullock movies
Almost all romantic comedies
Shrek
