Happy Birthday Flo

Last night we got together at the Caddo Cafeteria for Flo's (MaryBeth) birthday. I think she was around 40 OR SO! Anyway...little Lewis and Shirley (Flo's son and daughter-in-law) asked every one to come out for the celebration. Sweet sweet young'uns! Anyway Happy Birthday Flo!

A Week With Josh and Kimmie

A week ago Paul drove me down to Montgomery to stay with Josh and Kimmie. We got there on Saturday and spent the night. The next morning Paul got up and hurriedly got ready to leave before anyone changed their minds about me staying on for the week. I worked around the house everyday moving and rearranging stuff so Josh and Kimmie can't find anything. That way they have to call every day or so and say "Mom where is our...."?

Kimmie goes to work at AWF early every morning but Josh doesn't have to be at the radio station until 12:00 every day. He usually spends the morning writing his column for the newspaper. A couple of days I rode in with him and dropped him off at the radio station and I went shopping until he finished at 2:00. Then we would knock around a little while, if he didn't have a meeting or something to do for work, waiting for Kimmie to get home to eat dinner. We went to Jim n Nicks, Outback, Olive Garden, and Sa Za's or something like that...a pizza place downtown Montgomery.

We painted one of the bedrooms that Kimmie is turning into a office/craft room. She is really a talented designer. They both are busy busy people. They are entertaining and energetic. I really enjoy being with them.

As you probably can tell, Paul and I are very proud of all our children.

Fred-O

This past Sunday we had a get together at Adam's house for Father's Day. He grilled his famous beef tenderloin that is deeeelicious! That boy should have been a chef or at least a good fry cook somewhere. Flo(MaryBeth) made her wonderful Nanner Pudding...Daddy took what was left over home with him. Dump (Beckey) even made Dirty Rice AND it turned out good. We got started around 4:00 in the afternoon and closed up around 10:00. We had the rare but wonderful presence of our oldest son Josh, who was on his way through to Nashville. Kimmie was puking sick so she didn't make it. Feel better Kimmie! Little Lewis (Matt) and his wife Shirley (Shaina) were able to be there also. They work the graveyard shift and it is hard for them to attend some of our events. We were also blessed with Joey and TeraBug....Tera works the graveyard shift also. Anyway the only father's we had were Paul and Dad....two Dandy Dads. Daddy *Fredo* is still as goofy as he always has been. Most people remember Daddy and his wonderful "goofyness" when he modeled my mother's swimsuit at one of our Family Reunions. We all were so proud! We love you Dad...One of a KIND!
