Not only does Allan make coffee in the morning but he creeps around on little cat feet .... I've got a whole week's worth of dishes just a waitin' ...

I'm driving to Carrabelle (Gulf coast) to pick up fresh shrimp and scallops, early Saturday morning and my dad's already in the process of smoking his pork butts. I've got a stash of green tomatoes to go with the country ham, redeye gravy, grits, and buttermilk biscuits. Sunday we'll have a small gathering at my house with some people from around Tally ... then Monday it's to my Dad's pecan farm for the big bbq. I think he's invited the whole town of Monticello. harpgirl and son will be there and, hopefully, paddymac.

Oh, BTW, don't tell 'em, but I bought a new couch and am going to enlist their aid in taking my loveseat hideabed to the storage unit and picking up the new couch. Daddy is graciously loaning his truck.

Now ... if the horrendous blisters on my left hand will just heal before they get here, all will be well ... moonchild
