Miscellaneous Monday Memories after the BEST SUNDAY

I got to go to church yesterday with my mom, my BFF who is also my sister Suz, and my four favorite aunts! A Sunday church service couldn't have been any better. After church, we had lunch in the fellowship hall. There was SO much food, and it was all homemade. Stouffer's was conspicuously absent from this Sunday dinner. My aunts can cook. They learned from one of the best cooks ever, my dad's mom, MaMa Howell. My mom learned a lot about cooking from her and makes a lot of things that MaMa made just like she made them. I think that's one reason why my dad loves my mom's cooking so much. It probably reminds him of his mama's. The day that MaMa Howell died, she was supposed to have me and some others over for lunch and homemade fried pies. Ross was just several weeks old. I remember it so clearly still after all these years. Even after she had a stroke and could only use one arm, she could peel potatoes and apples. She was of that great generation that all of my grandparents were from. They were, in my opinion, the ABSOLUTE BEST!

After church Suz and I came back to my house and took the fattest nap ever. Suz can take a nap with the best of 'em. When she and I got on my bed in my peaceful blue room, we covered up with my favorite Snoopy blanket and I told her we were napping Kelly style. And it was good!

After that we got up and took a walk. HA! I had some dried flowers that I had saved from last summer to get the seeds from and she got some of those. They were lambs ear and I got them originally from MaMa Kimball's yard probably 10 years ago. I hope they'll come up for her.

Then it was time to go to my mom and dad's to eat again. After lunch I thought I'd never be hungry again, but after all that napping, I had worked up an appetite after all. She had made the most delicious turkey. We had that and some veggies and a coconut pie. OMGosh. After the best Sunday, I slept like a newborn baby last night.

Today I'm home working. And even though it's Monday, I don't even care. I'm still glowing from yesterday. I've been reading some of the blogs I read every day and I want y'all to go here and read about Krispy Kreme. If the economy hits Krispy Kreme, I'm gonna be really sad. When I was a little girl, after we'd go out to eat at the Varsity or Pilgreen's, my dad used to take us to the one on Ponce de Leon where we'd get a dozen to eat on the way home while they were hot. Good times. Really, really good times.

Our convertible G6 is in the shop today. Tear. It's been making a really funny noise. Well, it's not really a funny noise, it's more like a shrieking, make-your-skin-crawl sound. Not good. So the precious baby must be fixed. Hopefully, it just needs some grease somewhere. Yeah, right. Is anything on a car that simple?

I'm on my official Spring Break countdown. Two weeks to go. I'm getting pretty excited about taking Cam to Panama City. I'm going to load my Ipod up with lots and lots of good music. Any suggestions? I like most anything. Except a few out-there things Jeff listens to sometimes. I would like some suggestions for some good Spring Break music to fill my Ipod up with. Load me up, y'all.

Happy Monday! And don't forget to support your local Krispy Kreme. Or if you don't have a local one, go find one!!!
