My g'ma is funny.  She was just telling me over IM (yes cuz you know she got the hookup, holla if you hear her) about this little toadtrip she took with her friends the other day.

G'ma:  Yesterday a group of 8 ladies (most from my Sunday School class) went over into La. to a beautiful place called Hodges' Gardens and had a wonderful day.
Littlespriteboy:  Ohh cool!  
G'ma:  We all went in the Church van and Mary Curry drove it for us. Most of these ladies (except Mary) range in age from 60 to 80 yrs. old. We ate lunch at a neat little grill across from the Gardens at a motel and it was good. 
LittleSpriteboy: Yay! 
G'ma: It was a fun day - everybody acts "young" tho' we're in our 2nd childhood.

My kickass g'ma and her girls are hella cute.  I can just picture them all piled up in the ride, applying their lipstick and adjusting their hats.  My G'ma is probably the one driving, all screaming for everybody to shut the hell up cuz she's waiting on a call from her man and needs to be able to hear the cellie ring.  I love it.  It's almost as cute as my TiaJulietta, who's house just got renovated by Habitat for Humanity.  She's lived in this deathtrap of a shack for as long as I can recall, it's right next to this big nasty bayou where my cousins used to drag me when I was little and tell me that the Devil lived in it.  I hated going to that damn house.  I'm amazed it hadn't been condemned yet.  Anyway, she's got new floors and cabinets and a hot water heater and it's just too beautiful.  I only hope somebody takes an exorcist over to that bayou at some point, to get rid of that whole Satan thing.

I look forward to seeing everybody really soon.  I'll be heading home for a few days next month over my birthday weekend, cuz you know I gotta get my country on.  Go, Texas!
