PAR TAY !!

Surprise Party:
Wow the surprise was on Mom, again! We got her good! She told both my brother's and me, that she didn't realize that she had raised 3 kids who were so good at " lying " to her! Well, we did tell some outright fibs! LOL! You see the youngest of my brother's had told Mom that he was taking her to Red Lobster for Shrimp! Oops, that was the second time he told her that, and so she arrived ready to go to Red Lobster, all set to eat her favorite shrimp dinner! She said she'd thought of nothing else all day except how good that shrimp was going to taste! Now she told Alan, that from now on that they'll just meet him at Red Lobster! Me I told Mom, that we were going to go to Mike's Mom's for dinner with his brother, his wife, and Mom! Oops again! I have to admit Mom was a pretty good sport about the whole thing! She even went first on the pinata, with her great grandkids! Believe me she is a very "young" 70 ! In fact, most people who don't know, think she is my sister! I will try to post a pic as soon as my sister-in-law sends them to me. My Mom looked "Outstanding" last night, and she sure dressed up pretty to "go" to Red Lobster for her birthday dinner, was kinda a shame to trick her, but I had it on good authority, that my Poppy is taking her out to Red Lobster tomorrow for her real birthday. So she'll get her shrimp tomorrow for sure!

Kara:
Kara went home with our middle son, Corey last night. She was getting really home sick for her Daddy, and Grammy was getting really tired, so it worked out good. Her Dad, our oldest son, Jamie picked her up after they got home, and he got off work.

Dutchess:
I'm really starting to miss my dog Dutchess. We've been away from home now for 3 weeks, and that's the longest, that I've ever left her. I bet she's gonna be really mad at me when I finally get back to the house! We have to call the dealership, where we got our fiver, and see if we can get an appointment, because my other brother, Tim, checked out the fiver, and said that we must have had a "power surge", or something, because our converter is fried, and so is the microwave, and our Dirt Devil, in trailer vacuum cleaner. All of them are fried big time! Man, we so upset, about it, but at least the fiver is new, and still under warranty, and our insurance will take care of everything if they're not covered under the warranty! Whew, we're talking "big money" items! The converter, and the microwave are both about $400.00 each and the Dirt Devil is about $600.00 alone! Yikes!!! Well tomorrow is another day, so check in and see what we're up to. Until then...
