Happy 17TH Birthday Kayla....

After our little road trip Mom & I ran a few more errands. I had heard soooo much about GiGi's Cupcakes. One of their daily specials was Birthday Surprise which was fitting since I had a birthday girl that day. They put hers in her own box with a candle in it so I took it by the school on our way home. We had left the spaghetti sauce cooking in the crock pot all day so there wasn't much left to do to get dinner ready. Despite one scary incident that ended our evening, it was a nice day. Still can't believe my daughter is seventeen.

Absolutely Alabama....

The last time Mom was in the hospital she saw an episode of Absolutely Alabama w/Fred Hunter. Featuring the Junction Grocery in Havana....several years ago the store was robbed & the owner was killed. The store has recently reopened, we drove down and picked up some souse meat, bologna, cheese and pickle pigs feet, pickled eggs and pickled sausage. We sat in the Liar's Corner while our items were being sliced. It was a nice drive plus it got Mom out for a bit.

Camille....

Gabi's heart was broken because her cat was given away so her kitty was replaced with a drawf hamster named Camille. She's so tiny & adorable to watch while she's rolling around in her ball getting exercise. It's the little things in life.

Upward Awards....

We went to Gabi's cheer awards tonight....lots of entertainment. It was fun watching the slide show & even more fun watching the coaches make fools of themselves. Nice job Upward!
