Girls Night Out and We Are Wicked



It was girls night out time...Patty (co-granny), Amy, Lily and I went to the Orpheum to see Wicked. We all posed in the lobby, aren't we pretty? The show was so wonderful. I put in right up there with Cats, The Lion King, and Phantom of the Opera!



Lily made a donation to the show's charity, so she got her picture made with one of the cast members!


Lily and Meme waiting for the show to begin. Memories in the making!



Lily posing with Memaw....making sure the rabbits ears are there....You may notice three handfuls of rabbit ears. The extra one is Amy.... Like Memaw, like daughter, and granddaughter.....crazy ones!

Fall Festival

I went with Amy's kindergarden class to a Fall Festival. Forrest is in his mom's class and Lily was on fall break. There was banjo picking, making of masks, lessons about honey bees, and a picnic too. These pictures do a lot to tell the story. It was a nice warm day, with no rain at that point for weeks. In one of the pictures it looks like they are looking for a needle in a haystack, but, it was really candy they were searching for....

Lego Man



I spent Halloween with Max, Brian, and Shannon....As you can see Max was a Lego Man. He and his dad made this, I do not know how. They seem to have a talent for such things. As we walked down the streets, people where impressed at their art work.
He was voted Best Costume by most of the neighborhood. It was great fun. I am so excited that I will never have to work another holiday again! I always seem to bring retirement into every post lately.....

"A" Friend



This is GeorgiaAnne....or Georganne as we in the South say....
She is one of my best friends. She does not think so, as she always says she is my B friend behind Betty and Teresa. She is so crazy. She will always be an A friend to me. We always laughed so much at work....?stress relief? I was her Preceptor, which means I taught her everything I knew. We had such a history together that we sometimes did not even have to speak. We know what each other thinks. We text now...and she still makes me laugh.....Love her!

Rain

RAIN!!!! It had only been two months.

Retirement No. 2

Over one hundred years of taking care of babies experience. I came in 1968, Dr. Chip and Shirley came in the early 70's. I left it all to them. I think they will do quite well....



Sweet Elizabeth....the charge nurse on my last day....It was a wonderful last day....


Oh, the times we had. I had so much fun with this doc....really I did! He told me I had been a good and caring nurse....wonder why he said "had"...He always said working with me was like being mistreated at home. I am sure we were worse....


Marcie gave me a little "bling" for my retirement.....Blenna had to get in on the action....

Grove High School


This is where I went to high school. It was funded by E.W.Grove of the Grove's Chill Tonic fame. Needless to say, this is from it's beginning days. When I got there it had bushes all around it. I entered in the door on the right. They say you can see all the way to Paris Landing (17 miles away). Seniors could go up the tower as a treat. They stopped it by the time I was a senior....

Brian's Ties



Brian has had a tie collection since he was a teen. He was asked by Urban Art in Memphis to do a video of his ties. Friday night his video was projected on the Commerce Square Building in downtown....He also has a Tie Quilt that his Great-Grandmother made out of his Great-Grandfather's ties..... I am so very proud of my son...
