Now I didn't say what...just get to drinkin' anything with metal bottle caps and save 'em for me! We are making necklaces for next year's Relay for Life out of them (I know, I thought the same thing---what the?), but trust me, they are CUTE! Susan has really done a lot of thinking about this and hopefully, they will sell better and make more profit than the sunflower ones this past year. They are fun to make...no, I am not trying to recruit you to help make them (although you will be hit up to buy one for yourself, any daughter, sister, mother, friend, or dog that you may have)! I had hoped to have a slew of them done by this weekend, but surprise, surprise---I have three.
Why this weekend, you ask? Well, said Susan and her husband, Michael have invited us down again for the annual "Playtime in Pinola" (south MS and actually only about 30 min. from my hometown) that is truly a highlight for our crew. The Akin's have a beautiful old farmhouse that has been in their family forever and have redone and added onto it over the past decade or so. It is huge and rambling, has two stairways (which the kids go up one and down the other at least a million times while we are there), A SLEEPING PORCH WITH TWO FANS (my fave) and a swing, a great kitchen and great room addition. And just down the trail is the creek...crystal clear, cold, and so relaxing. We just take our camp chairs down on the 4-wheeler along with the coolers, maybe a watermelon to chill in the creek, and we park it...for HOURS ON END. AHH, happy place... So, lots of folks come down on Sat. and some stay the night, others head on home. The time goes slowly while there, but the end comes way too soon somehow every time. BUT, this year, the boys and I are going to get to stay FOR A WHOLE WEEK! Can you hear it? "HALLELUIA! HALLELUIA!" Just a few girlfriends and the kids! Susan named it "YAYA week" and it stuck! Have you seen that movie? It's pretty appropriate for our crew! We are seriously close to having to have the oxygen tank for at least one or two of us! How old are we again? Anyway, I digress... Margaritas and pb&j's amd juice pouches in the cooler (along with a roll of TP for the kiddos because we are not getting up to walk back to the house every five seconds!) Yes, G'ma, I've already got a whole case of Propel to combat the heat and kidney stones...wait, beer flushes the kidney's, right? HAHA! I'm not sure if you can tell or not, but I am so stinking excited!!! I am worse than the kids. Poor Mike will have to come back to Memphis on Sunday--he only gets the weekend pass!
