MeMe.....It's the most wonderful news...Guess What???? I found a coupon for a free Zip Line Ride, Bubble Gum that smells like strawberries but doesn't taste like strawberries and a Keychain light that says "Let there be Light." What treasures...Wonder what I'll find today???
My mind was wondering, what simple things it takes to make her happy...All of a sudden I realized that I would like to have that key chain...it would be perfect for my purse in the dark, and I haven't had a peice of bubble gum in ages..I would really like to have that gum, you know how you suck the sugar off and the gum gets real soft and then you chew it....And if I ever get to Arkansas, I would like to ride the zip line, ..I think it would be fun......
Tommorrow I think I will drink from the water hose, wear high heels and costume jewelry with shorts, ride a bike, eat some cracker jacks, catch lightning bugs in a fruit jar...just for kicks...Then Wednesday I will be a grown up again...I really don't want to be a child again....You have to take shots until you're 8.....

Jezebel
It's another Ella Story...
Get a visual...I go to the front desk to check in a fisherman...I'm getting his key, we are talking fishing, running his credit card.....Great conversation.....Actually enjoying his company....I feel a small hand on my back, and without looking, I know that Ella has stepped in behind me..The little darling...She loves to help MeMe wait on customers, and today, why she's not interrupting and trying to take over the conversation, she's quiet...I feel her moving but that's pretty normal....I notice though, that this particular customer that I thought I really liked, and was enjoying, who seemed very kind and intelligent, is now all of a sudden not looking at me, he's barely speaking back, and unlike most people, he has not formed an instant bond with Ella and at least mentioned the fact that she's just dang skippy..As a matter of fact he has all but turned his back to me...Why he is just being rude right now...What happened to the great guy standing before me, that just 1 minute ago was so entertaining? He looks like a deer caught in headlights... I put his key on the counter with his credit card receipt to be signed...Why his head is dropped so low that I can't even see his eyes now...He won't look up...What is up? Is he crazy, Is he a mass murderer, Is he paranoid??...........Oh No...He's just shocked out of his mind....I turn and catch a look at Ella...She has on her ballet tutu with no shirt underneath...It's rounded neck is cut to her waist and she is doing a hootchie kootchie dance behind me.....she has on her blonde Hannah Montanna Wig and enough makeup to be Dolly Parton's sister.....Of course I am speechless, I look at him and make a very stupid statement " Oh my, we let her dress herself and she has no taste." Did I really say that..Does he now think that we let this 5 yr. old dress like this??? There was no way to really fix it...I tried to tell him she has a dress up box and I knew she was awful quiet that I should have checked on her...I'm covering her up and he is departing... Well, you can just imagine that within 30 minutes, I had that young lady of the night's face scrubbed, her real clothes on, her hair brushed and in pigtails and we were knocking on his door..I made her say all of the books of the Bible and quote at least 3 Bible Verses....The real kicker...He was a Methodist Preacher, the one that founded Fishers of Men Tournament Trail....He was on his way to the pre-tournament meeting...He winked at me and said..."Go and sin no more." What a guy...He is now one of my favorite guests...Looking forward to his return.....

MIA
Girls, I have been sooooo busy....When I have time I want to post about the lovely day we had a Lee's...I have so many things I want to say about that gathering...It was so wonderful and if I try to post now , I would certainly leave something out....I will be back...
PS...I know you all enjoy Ella's prayers so much...have to share this with you....Tonight she offered grace over our dinner meal..We had some company ..This was her prayer...
Dear Lord, You know that we all love you very much....You also know that I like to sing about you all the time...well , not all the time, but most of the time, and every song is about you....well, not every song...I do like other music and sometimes I sing other songs besides yours,,,but you know I do love to sing about you....Bless our bounty of food....AMEN................
What a kid.......................
Love to all....I will be back.....Sharon....

Lips that touch wine,,,Shall not touch mine
When I was younger my mom was always at the church rockin and rollin with the Pentecostal Folk while my Grandmother was at the Doyle's Dance Club rockin and rollin with the Bingo Players...I guess I'm a mix of both...I digress...
About a month ago a friend of ours comes in with Apple Cider, Apple Juice, Oranges and sticks of cinnamon...A suspicious looking 2 quart jar of some very clear liquid..(Moonshine)...He asks if I have a stock pot...I did...We got it out..After about 2 hours of intense cooking (to all of the above we added sugar)...We had some very fine AppleJack.....
I put my 2 quarts in the fridge and promptly forgot it...It's just too strong for me...Forgot is the key here....Back to Mom...Lives on Juice and Spinach...rarely eats meat...dark chocolate twice a day...and plenty of water...2 teaspoons cinnamon and couple of almonds...rounded out with tuna at least 4 times a week and baked chicken....She's been a health nut since before it was cool...
She's pretty durned healthy except for Alzheimer's....(Another story in itself)...I digress again...
Anyway...She's been coming over every day drinking my apple juice...She has blueberry, grape and orange at her house, but she's been drinking my apple juice....I've been hearing, this is the best apple juice..I just love this Simply Apple...It's so good....The way I caught it, was the other day when she came over for her "juice" this smell...what in the world...why it smells like a bar in here...what could that be??? OMG...She's been on the moonshine....She has consumed a quart and a half of Apple Jack in the last week......It's a wonder she's not blind.....
I tell you girls this because I am sure there is a place in Hell for me..I'll be driving the bus there I'm sure and in case I'm struck dead before Wednesday I wanted you all to pray for my soul...I am sure that this must be a sin....I have led my righteous mother down the path of iniquity and she doesn't even know it....
I took a photo on my phone and sent to my children of Grandmother drinking Moonshine..They did not find the humor that I found in this..Rather they shamed me...That's why I think probably I'm Hellbound.... I will tell you this...IT WAS FUNNY....shame on me....
The extra funny thing is The Lady Can Hold Her Liquor!!!Would make my Grandmother Proud.

Ella's Latest Revelation
Ella has declared that apparently she is not getting enough appropriate attention and this could possibly be why she is acting up.....
We are currently taking applications for 3rd shift...Experience is a must....

A Famous Boxing Promoter in My Bathroom
Oh My!!!
Don King was in my bathroom this morning....I was scared to death...
I waited on a few customers, you know how cute I am when I get up in the morning...I have really pretty pajamas just for those occasions and always put on that 24 hour lipstick before I go to bed at night, knowing that at 6:30 before I've had time to dress or put on makeup, that someone will be at the front desk to check out...Well , sure enough..I waited on a few customers, was quite charming, went to get my coffee and go back to bed to catch a little Fox News...Made a pass through the bathroom....OMG...Don King in Bright Red Lipstick and Pink Pajamas....I am so mortified....It must stop raining or I must remember that if my hair gets wet it must be re ironed.....
