Alice in Wonderland

Johnny Depp is awesome as the Mad Hatter.

He is quite believable as a madman.

Who cares if he wears WAY more makeup

than most women I know??

And check out those eyebrows!

(someone needs to wax)

Went to the theater and saw "Alice in Wonderland".

It stayed quite close to the story as I remember it.

Happy Birthday!

Kim, the boys, and tiramisu

Yesterday, Kim invited me to go with her and the boys to Birmingham to visit our cousin Nicole Poe. She and Matt welcomed a new son on Sunday. John Hendrix Matthew Poe was born on Sunday March 14th and weighed in at 2 pounds and 5 ounces. Of course we weren't able to see him "in person" but Matt show us several photos. Nicole is doing fine and will probably be released from the hospital on Thursday. John Hendrix will be staying for a while.

After our visit everyone was starving so we made our way over the mountain to Hoover and "Olive Garden". I tried something new (my usual is shrimp alfredo). It is called lasagna fritta which means fried lasagna. It was really good and not as filling as you would think. . . I had room for dessert, but isn't there ALWAYS room for tiramisu?

What's with the face Topher?

Do you know something we don't?
The waiter brought Jakob's milkshake in
a cup with a lid. He informed me he is
too old to order off the "kids menu" since he will
be a teenager soon (3 years) LOL
Kim had a yummy looking dessert of chocolate
cake, vanilla sauce, and fresh strawberries.
MMMMMMM
My tiramisu ~ ahhhhhh

creamy delicousness with

expresso soaked cake.

Bowling in Montgomery

Lisa and I went to Montgomery this past weekend so she could bowl in the Women's State Tournament. I headed out on Saturday around eight and stopped in Pelham to pick her up. When I pulled into the parking lot I called her ~ NO answer! So, I sent her a text "I'm here". She quickly answered by calling me "I just woke up, my alarm didn't go off. . . " I pulled out the book I'm reading and waited for her to shower and throw a few things in a bag.

Lisa and I on our "adventure"

(code for we got lost)

Lisa, Alana, Sheila, and Kristie
Time to bowl!

What would a trip with Lisa be

without the tongue photo??

Kristie and Lisa were doubles

partners. Kristie bought them

matching tee shirts.

The first day went well then we headed out to find our hotel (another "adventure") Lisa and I went to "Red Lobster" for dinner ~ she had her favorite ~ crab legs. We ventured on to the mall which was a BIG disappointment because their "American Eagle" had closed! HOW DARE THEY!?!?

Lisa was exhausted.

The Gutter Girls

Before the games began

Lisa and her hat

Tournament rules stated "NO HATS" and Lisa always bowls with a hat. Sunday, she took her hat with her and left it on the counter in front of me ~ between turns, she would come sit by me and put her hat on. She bowled a 178! She told her teammates "it's all about the hat!"

We've got blooms!

Just as I was thinking the daffodils were going to get totally drowned I walked outside today and these beautiful blooms greeted me. And it has been a hard day today so they were a welcome sight. This morning when Buck went out to his truck to head to work, Kaycee and Mac were out of the kennel. Thunder is NOT Kaycee's friend and once she got out. . .Mac followed. I worked on the kennel and got it secured so no more escapes today but it was dreary for most of the morning.
Hope you are having a blessed day and that your weekend is restful.

It's raining

It's raining

It's pouring

But the old man isn't snoring

We get up at 5:30 a.m.

Our day has already started!

The daffodils are trying to survive long enough to bloom. These, along the side of the house, are almost ready to POP open. . . if the rain doesn't beat them down or the dogs don't trample them. (gotta be tough around here) LOL

I had an opportunity to work in the yard yesterday before the rain started. It was great just to be outside in the fresh air with the dogs running around. According to Mother there are still some cold days ahead and of course there is tornado season but isn't Spring a wonderful season? Anyone know when the first day of Spring actually is?

Let's pretend it is today....Hurrah for Spring!

Photos

Here it is the month of March. I need to start carrying my camera around with me everywhere so I will have photos to post. The daffodils have started to pop out of the ground ~ but no blooms yet. I am going to start working in the yard this week IF we don't have rain and I am itching to pull the cover off the pool even though I KNOW it is too cold.
Lisa and I are going to the State Bowling tournament next weekend (her to bowl ~ me to watch) so I will tote my camera in my pocket and hope for some fun candid shots.
Have a great week! Kiss Kiss
