IT'S NOT EASY BEING A SOUTHERN BELLE-EVEN AFTER YEARS OF PRACTICE!

WELL, HAIL!!!!!!!!

If you were in Erie, you might think snow in the trees.

Across the street Pear trees in full bloom.
Bobby & I were sitting here, minding our own business, tonight, watching a SLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWW movie, when we get an excited telephone call from his sister, Kathy. It seemed we were in the direct path of a tornado! We turned on the local television station and AAAAHHHH SOOOOOOO, she is correct. When the temperature has reached the upper 80's and the southern moisture has been flowing in all day-well you have the PERFECT recipe for a tornado. We did have quarter size hail, some wind, and lots of lightning, but no tornado. We have had MUCH worse storms MANY times, but thanks for the warning. Welcome to Louisiana! Ok-let me reflect on last Friday-------Oh, Yes, IT SNOWED! This Friday at 6 AM when Babs & I start our long run, it is 68 degrees. SWEAT FEST! We ran a VERY SLOW 10 miles. We consistently have gotten slower each and every week when we run our long run. Our short 5 milers are faster, but there is something about that long run that brings out the snail in us. If we continue with this trend, we soon will be finishing our long run about the time it is to start the next week's long run. NOW That WOULD BE SLOW!
I have noticed something about Bobby, he is pretty fascinated by women that are flamboyant and flashy with lots of glitz and glitter and boisterous personalities. Basically just about the opposite of his wife. He occasionally comes in telling tales of clients with the listed traits and he seems to get a real kick out of them. His wife-well she wears the minimum make up, loves her jeans and tee shirts, and is most content after a good sweaty long run or yard session and has a low maintenance wash and dry hair style. I often tell his kids that if I bite the dust first, he will quickly have a new partner and that is alright. Don't be surprised if that happens that she is one of these women that I have described. After years of a introverted, low maintenance, low key wife, he might think a the direct opposite would be exciting for the rest of his life. DOLLY PARTONS of the world-at least wait until the hearse has driven off before you begin your pursuit of this "Hunk of Burning Love"!

Jim and I are cracking up!!!!! I think Bobby has the perfect girl for him and he would be hard pressed to find another. BC needs a "straight man" anyway and Dollie wouldn't fit that bill!

LOLOLOLOL, love the 2nd paragraph. My worst nightmare is sitting in a room w/a bunch of women at a Mary Kay party....my palms get sweaty thinking about it.

We have had hail 2 nights in a row. I sleep like a baby when it storms.
