A Grand Time Was Had By All
We had a ball with Tone and Sherry, Jill, Jeff and Cindy, and their adorable kids!
The wings at Rummy's are FANTASTIC. I ate myself stupid!
In other news, Summer and I have teamed up with our girl Lisa Pfister (she's technically my niece, but really more like a sister these days!) to train for the Disney Marathon next year. It's a tall order, but we think we can do it!
What are all you "beaches" up to? :-)
I dreamed about Spicy T's stripy pants last night...

Work is a drag.. let's go back to the beach!
Well, I made it home.. and promptly came down with some kind of crud. I think it might be a sinus infection or something. I'm all drugged up!
Anyway, Sherry and Tone almost got a frantic phone call from the airport on Sunday.. the folks at the gate told me that they were bumping me from the flight because they oversold it! So for a few minutes there, I was thinking I'd be spending another night in Florida. Somehow they got me on the plane, though.
Les loved the pics (well, the ones I showed him anyway!). :-)
I've got to get to work on the Baby Corn anthem for next year... Hmmm..

Baby Corn Gifts
Rumor has it that Spicy T found a baby corn goodwill gift in her car upon departure from A Great Escape. Brigette and I heard her scream from my car!
Brigette takes off
Brigette made it to the airport this afternoon and should be back in the Greenville area @ 9pm. Immediately after, Les will wonder what we did to his wife to cause her obsession with baby corn.
