Mayor Madison

  

JIMMY WON!
I am soooo glad that this election is over. Yes, I was a Jimmy Madison supporter. John and I have known Lavonne and Jimmy for years. We met them about 39 years ago and they were our next door neighbors for about 24 years. I know that Jimmy has the best interest of Berry at heart.
Congratulations, Mayor Madison!

New School Year
Emma, Abby and JB3 started back to school last week. I now have 3 pick up lines to get in on Tuesday. It really went smoothly but that might have been because I got in line at Northport Elementary at 2:00!

Welcome Home, Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme reopened Tuesday. As soon as we had Emma picked up we headed to Krispy Kreme. I was determined that Emma, Abby and JB3 would have a memory of going to get doughnuts the day they reopened. So, we had to park about a block away, we stood in line about 40 minutes ( not to bad ) and got a dozen doughnuts. The kids each picked 2 of their favs and I picked 2 and then we just got glazed to finish the dozen. We each got some cold milk and sat down to eat our doughnuts. JB3 talked me into 3 doughnuts.....that boy is bottomless.
I told the kids as we stood in line......someday you will come in here with your kids and I want you to tell them about the tornado and coming to get a doughnut on the day it reopened.
The kids were so impressed with the cheers...
you say Krispy
I'll say Kreme
and the always fav of our family
you say ALA
I'll say BAMA

and yes, I did get teary eyed as we stood in line inside the store and I did say a prayer of thanks for my family being safe during the tornado!

doesn't this make you want to dip your finger in that glaze and lick it off!!!

the police directed traffic around the take out line for 2 solid days

got to lick those fingers

 



 

Abby's Birthday
Brady and Kim always let their children pick out a restaurant to eat out at on the day of their birthday and I was invited to join them. Brady sent me a text and asked me to ask Abby where she wanted  to eat. I literally named every restaurant that I could think of in Tuscaloosa because I did not want to influence her decision. She decided on Jim and Nick's.....MeMe was tickled.....I had not eaten at the Jim and Nick's in Tuscaloosa....it had only been open a few weeks.

Lawson & Lily

 

Courtney had to fly to DC Wednesday morning and then to Raleigh, North Carolina that night for a meeting the next day. I went up Wednesday afternoon to help Dave with the kids overnight.

Lily and I waited at the house for Lawson. We were standing on the porch when Lawson saw us

I think he was glad to see his MeMe
