Happy Birthday to the Roses!

September is a popular month for birthdays in our family. Emma, Dave, the spazztard dogs and I drove up to Tennessee to celebrate. John drove up from Baton Rouge. Katy, Evan and Jennifer also made the journey. We had a great visit! Saturday started with a trip to the farmer's market for veggies for the supper spread. It continued with 7-layer dip and hanging out! We baked a chocolate birthday cake and a monster feast for dinner. It was a great visit, but like always, much too short. Here are some pics from the weekend.

DA BEACH!

I went with several friends to the beach over a long Labor Day Weekend! It was lovely, just not long enough... Here is a preview.


To be continued...
Love!

DA Beach continued...

The Crew went to the beach for the most relaxing few days I've had in a long time. Relaxing, you ask? Yes, I didn't do much of anything other than sit on the beach and look at this lovely view....

We did exciting things, like build sand castles....

and sit and watch waves in the sun...

we also watched the waves under the moonlight...

we also collected hundreds of shells. these are the Shell Collectors!!

we had a great time hanging out, catching rays, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and just chilling!

Evan had a blast eating, crawling, digging and playing in the sand.

Randy hates the beach. I believe this pic of him about to throw a giant handful of sand on me describes him very well and his feelings toward the beach!

One night, we rounded everyone up and went out to dinner. The place we chose was definitely beachy and touristy. We fit right in. It would have been an even better night if they hadn't been showing that dumb Alabama football game on tv.

Fly Me to the Moon....

And let me play among the stars... Ah Frank sang those words so magically! I mean how cool would it have been to have lived in the era of the Rat Pack! The best music ever! The latest event the DS Crew attended was called Fly Me to the Moon. This event benefitted the American Cancer Society. We all happily jumped on board for that one! Anything to support Cancer research or cancer prevention or awareness. A few of us attended the Patron Party, then went over to the main event. Toni and I made a potty break before heading in. In Heatherly-Style, I squirted soap from the dispenser and shot my dress in an awkward place. I mean come on-- Stained the rest of the night! We had a blast the rest of the event and topped the night off at one of Monroe's classy joints- The Airport Lounge! Here are the pics of the night!

Toni and I made a beautiful recovery from the soap incident!

since you weren't there, i thought you may enjoy seeing some of the fine decor!!

cuttin a rug... (go ahead and throw your cheeseballs at me)

this is what the DS Crew fellas did while we danced!

Aren't we Stylin'?!?!?

Livin' it up at the Airport Lounge! Nice...


I'm at the BEACH!!! WOOT WOOT!!! Will be updating you on that soon!
Love!
