Make new friends and Keep the Old..

Matt and I have known each other for a hundred and fifty years, really just twenty one.. twenty one... wow. We were trapped in a mini van on a bus and truck tour doing four shows for almost a year together so even though we don't see each other often, we know each other pretty well.. LOL. Shawn and I got married two days before Matt and Mariska did, in Las Vegas. We were on the way to their wedding in Los Angeles. The other day I asked her, did we get married in 03 or 04...how time flies..11 years later there are four additional rug rats between us. Matt and Mariska and girls came this week to visit friends who had moved to Chattanooga and us! It was a great two days of fun. We are hoping they will eventually move to this side of the U.S.! Until next time! First, a few throwback pics..

I'm not sure what's happening here.. but I think this is that famous night in Georgia when Teresa (picutred above, threw out my rum..) hahaha.

The Kingdom of Girls

Once upon a time there lived three girls. All were beautiful and all possessed different gifts. The Kingdom was all aglow with laughter and giggles for many years until one day the King stepped into the cavernous hall and heard nothing. "Wife!" he yelled."What has happened?

"What in God's name is a teenager?" shouted the King. "Oh dear." The queen remarked turning up her chalice of wine. "What isn't a teenager?"

Everyone is Creative

What is your deeply buried gift? Don’t think it’s not down there. It is. Something is going to help it rise to the surface. When I was a child, I dreamt of going to Hollywood and making movies. I remember specifically knowing what it must feel like to do that very thing, although I was in the middle of a rural ranchette in Texas. I carried around a video recorder the size of carry on luggage, which attached to a giant news station style camera, and I made movies. I can think of three or four different films that were lost forever in the 80’s. I remember shooting portraits of my cats sitting alongside cowboy hats, with a little 110 camera, and writing story after story and reading book after book. Talking into an old recorder with an English accent, singing at the top of my lungs as I played the piano. These are the snapshots of my childhood forty years ago. When I graduated from the theatre department at Baylor University, I was not ready emotionally and did...

Whipped Tail Pocket Pit

Ms. Idgie Threadgood Dodd has a permanent heart on her chest. Shawn has been talking about it, and I thought I noticed it, but I can really see it in this pic. I have no idea how it got there, maybe the fact she is kissed about seven hundred times a day by me, Grace and Shawn. Mariama and Holly don't kiss as much.. LOL its so fascinating. How DID it get there? Magic. In this pic she is watching well, everything in the park. Such a good girl.
