It was a wonderful time. W is always a fun time, yes. So is Purple Q, a delightful gal, and so pretty too. And 2J is as zzaaannyyy as I anticipated, and then some. Such wonderful people all of you. I'm so thankful you guys could come down and moot for this. And so glad Bear and Rose could make it too. They are the most charming company. Enjoyable conversation always.

I'm trying hard to remember some of the highlights. 2J and W and Dana all had cameras I think and were snapping away the whole time, so I don't know what to expect when they find the chance to post them. lol. Just hoping no one snapped a pic of when I fell/sat on the floor, I had raised up from my seat slightly (I thought), and didn't realize it had folded up, and 2J yells something like "don't sit down there!!! It's stinky!!!" lol, she's a riot. (no I hadn't been drinking)

Let's see, as soon as the rodeo was done and Marty Stuart came on we started up hooting and whistling so much we got the attention of a crowd of other young things, about 16 yr old, that came over and joined us. They were a lot of fun, and very friendly. W and Q got some pics. After Marty was up for a while they brought on Ray Price, much to my surprised delight! He was in for Buck Owens who was sick or something. The little tweetsies next to me wanted to know if he was anybody important. and I gave them a quick lecture on the good ole boys of country music, and his place there. Oh the night life, ain't no good life, but it's his life, you know.

Connie Smith came on and did a couple, nice 'How Great Thou Art'. And then Dwight Yoakum came on and lit the place up. Marty Stuart joined him after a few numbers. We started on the second row and moved to the first that was mostly empty. The stage was turning around and I'm certain that Dwight was waiting until he faced our group to do most of his special moves and cute stuff. lol It was fun, and funny too.

Then we got back to the room and PQ and I took an opportunity while 2J was in the shower, and W had stepped outside, to dress up the room with the stuff she had brought for the birthday Kims. We got that stuff up Faaast.

That's about all I can think of right now. I know that every minute was full of funny little things, most of them any way.


I started this post 2 hours ago and kept getting distracted by such frivolities as work.

For those weak on details, these are the funny parts MBY left out and I remember. 2J and Wneighbor may have some of their own too.

Wn, MBY and I had to go pick up 2J at her parents motor home lot. We told 2J our EST would be 45 minutes. HAH! 5 o’clock traffic in Houston. We arrived 1 and ½ hour later. 2J was frantic after a lady brought her a cup of hot chocolate with caramel in it. To put it mildly, 2J is a little bit (I won’t say paranoid) cautious. She couldn’t push MBY back into the car and get in herself fast enough! IT IS ANOTHER 2J STORY! For sure!

On the way to the concert, we passed a car garage with 3 cars that made Wneighbor’s mascara run! She was a little worked up at the sight of ‘em. I think her words went something like, “OMG that’s a something something and a yada yada and OMG (squeal). It is hot in here (serious body fanning going on here). OMG Dana! I got chill bumps!” Yah, I think it went something like that! TOO funny! I had to get her a taco bell napkin out of the glove box and turn on the AC full blast!

The birthday surprise set up was too funny also. When 2J came out from her shower she was like in lala land or something cuz I said Happy Birthday and she said “Thanks!” and went on her way packing up her clothes totally ignoring the fact that the ceiling had red and orange streamers on it, 4 walls had Happy Birthday banners, and the table was decorated. Then Wneighbor comes in from going to check out the hot tub, being freaked out by creepy man, shivering from the cold, talking a typical 85 mph and in mid sentence says, “You fools! You totally pulled this off with out me knowing.”

Let’s see what else…

Oh yeah! 2J REALLY loves her bagels. We found out first hand. After only like 4 hours of sleep, we all got up and went to eat our “continental breakfast” in the lobby. 2J brought her own bagel and apple butter of course. I am certain she did not take one bite without giving a good, wholehearted “Mmmmmm!” after it!
