John; tell Dru we are thinking about her. If she gets pain pills like McGee has, there should be NO PROBLEM bringing her to the party on the 5th. McGee had his knee replaced back in February and he is STILL not sure where he is most of the time!! I understand that he had the U joint from a 66 Chevy installed instead of the standard replacement part. Told the doctor it would improve his golf game and his dancing ability. Give her a couple of pills, put her in the back seat and come on up!! She'll probably think we all came down to see her recover.

John S., let Dru know we all wish her a successful operation and speedy recovery. I think the answer you received from your magic 8 ball was probably in response to your poor grammar in asking the question. Perhaps you should ask it again using correct sentence structure this time. My English teacher, Olive Carter, would have been appalled.

Thanks for the sweet comments about Brooklyn!  Yes, little chubby cheeks is quite the model.  She doesn't seem to mind when her mom puts the outfits on her & takes pictures!  Stephanie's other big seller is wiener dog shirts!  She buys them & embroideries things like "stud muffin" (I kid you not), "I hunt Sooners" on a camouflage shirt & other cute sayings.  2 things people will always spend money on. .  . their kids & their pets!

I was so impressed with the Bluebonnets & Indian Paintbrushes.  Don, you did an excellent job in capturing the Hill Country theme!
For those of you who didn't see the note - - ck out the Bluebonnets pg!!

JS, I was so in hopes ya'll could make it up here for the 6-5 party.  Poor Dru, she's had the worst run of luck the past year or so.  Give her my best & let her know the "Group" will be thinking of her & wish her a speedy recovery.

KMD - Wow, Kira is graduating from HS!  Enjoy the event, but we will miss you!

Toni - I hope El Fenix is prepared for you & KRL, along with all the other Cinco DeMayo celebrators!!  Have a great time!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!!  Karen and I will be celebrating at our regular spot!  We will try to keep it down to a dull roar and I promise to keep Karen from swinging from the pinatas!! 

By the way guys, Mike and I won't be able to come to the June get-together as planned because my olderst granddaughter Kira will be graduating from high school at 2 PM that day. There is a reception at her home afterward, but if it doesn't last too long, we will try to come for the last hour and go to dinner afterward as usual. It all depends on how long the festivities last. I can't believe I have a grandchild graduating this year.  Makes me feel old, but we couldn't be prouder of her.

Brooklyn is adorable....as are the outfits.  Love the UTUTU!  Don, the bluebonnet pics are stunning....what are the coral color flowers that look like bluebonnets?

Working Hard!!!  I'm worn out! 

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood; everybody either sleeping late or working hard??

Sorry you won't be at the June party Linda, but a vac in Rockport sounds pretty good!
