ORANGE POPSICLE

Tell me this beauty can't make an orange popsicle look yummy.  She HAD to take a bath after this excursion AND my floors WILL have to be mopped...result? Worth every minute of housework...She's a cutie! and LOVES to keep her mouth wiped...she doesn't like her hands sticky either....so she kept wiping them on her, the floor, EVERYTHING :-)  worth it I tell you...well worth it...

Sassy Sunflower Prototype

well...my mom's been at it again...with Mana being the recipient of the original (of course!).  Isn't it beautiful.  Mom does a terrific job with the fabric flower and don't forget we have adorable bows to match.  Email me with size and colors, because of course a Sassy Sunflower can also be an Adorable Apple or a Happy Hootie (owls), you get the idea :-)  Email addy:  sonyagilley@yahoo.com

This dark blur is my camera strap, lol, remind me not to do that!

Poor Sunshine

We've been rather busy around here attending to "Sunshine"... He went to the Buffalo River with a couple of buddies and came home around 6:30 p.m. SCREAMING (understatement) in pain for his "Mom!!!!!, My ear HURTS!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH"  So I get the flashlight..yep...blood...ER bound...in route I say, "Son, let me see your finger....hmmm looks broken." Son replies, "I hurt it swinging on a rope along the river but it's okay, it's my ear that's KILLING me!" blah blah...arrive ER 7:00 p.m. ish...long and short...headed home around 2 a.m.ish with finger in splint..."broken, see plastic surgeon 8 a.m. and ear drum busted"...pooooooor kid.  When Dr. injected the lidacaine (sp?) to numb the finger to make it point in right direction, unblock blood flow, and set it until we saw plastic surgeon Sunshine pert near blacked out on us...and I can understand why! He said, "Mom! I'm getting hot, Mom! I need garbage can! Mom! blawhhhhhhhhhhh and ralphed bigtime! POOR POOR KID! That was Tuesday...had surgery Thursday...couldn't do thin plate and screws...injury worse case...so in goes the rod.  The big reveal was yesterday......and without further ado I show you Sunshine's finger :-(

Who Let the Dawgs Out?

Hoover, Alabama did!!!!

Brandon Woodruff, aka "Dino" son of Richard and Belinda Woodruff is a Prentiss County boy and he was the starting pitcher in both the first and last SEC playoffs in Hoover, AL...gooooo Dino!

We had great seats by 1st base, but it was HOT!!! Did I mention it was HOT?

We even saw Jonie (Dino's g/f) and my cousin, daughter of Kenneth Green and Pamela Johnson Stroupe who is sitting beside her first cousin, Carol's (Pam's sister) daughter.  Jonie is the cutie patootie blonde looking at ya :-)

Great Read

May marked the date for the release of Forbidden Magic.

Happy 19th Birthday Sunshine

Happy 19th Birthday to my youngest son, Michael, aka "Sunshine"

Where have all the years gone? My bones/body feel 'em but my mind and heart do not.  I don't really have the "empty nest" thing, since he comes home most weekends (only cause of his beau living near here) but I'll take his visits any way I get 'em.  Michael is a sophunior (sophomore/junior) at Mississippi State...goooo dawgs!!!! Hence the MSU cake and his "what's so great about the SEC?  We are loyal to the bone" Tshirt.  Michael had his first two years at Northeast Community College here in town completed when he graduated High School last May, due to dual enrollment.  He scored a 30 on his ACT and he's a math wizzard...a well rounded geekster :-)  His father died when he was five and he and Gene are very close, as you can tell by this picture.

Daniel (my oldest) and Morgan came for the celebration.  He and Michael have been roommates at "STATE" this year...think they both got on each others nerves...KNOW they both love each other.  Wish Nathan and Jessica could have been here.  Nathan is in the Navy and he and Jessica, currently in Washington State, have orders for Hawaii in September...too bad Gene won't fly :-(

Back to Birthday Bash...Michael blew all his candles out and now that I think of it...wonder if he made a wish?  Mom loves you!!! Happy 19th Birthday, Sunshine!
