Found Montana in Arizona

Posted on January 8th, 2010 by Jean

On Wednesday, my youngest daughter, Pearl, and I ventured to Lake Havasu City to see Montana Lady Golfer. Montana and I have been friends on MySpace and Facebook for about a year.
 
Montana gave us a warm welcome, jumping up & down and giving us hugs upon arrival. Once inside her lovely home, Montana served my favorite wine (sauvignon blanc), crackers, and an assortment of delicious cheeses! I hand delivered a package of fruits & cheese to Montana from her 2009 Secret Santa. Montana was so pleased and said it was the perfect gift.
 
Ever so thoughtful, Montana carefully opened a fishing game and challenged Pearl to a round. Pearl mopped the floor with her, but our host may have thrown the game.

Time to hop into Montana’s convertible and drop her hubby off at the golf course. Then we girls were off for Fast Food and Shopping.

Pearl loves McDonalds, and was excited to have an Alvin & The Chipmonks Happy Meal. We took the scenic route to the new mall, and Montana spoiled Pearl with a Deluxe Bead Kit and 3 smaller bead sets from Michael’s.
 
A leisurely drive across the London Bridge led us to The Naked Turtle for beach time!

We found a few shells & pretty rocks, and got our tootsies wet. It was a beautiful day with temps in the high 60’s. Something about playing on the beach makes you hungry. The Beach Bar was undergoing some renovations, but the restaurant upstairs was open. Wow is their food GOOD!! We shared orders of calamari and fish & chips while Pearl had an ice cream sundae.

This day just FLEW by! It was nearly 5pm, and we had to pick up Montana’s hubby from the golf course. I hope he had a good day!
 
Montana wrapped up some shish-kebobs for Pearl and I to take home. We were running out of daylight, and my hubby and eldest daughter were at home awaiting on return.
 
Natalie and Pearl are still having a GREAT time making bracelets & necklaces. Tom and I are grilling the kebobs tonight!

• Do you let children beat you at games?
• What’s on your shish-kabob?

There goes my deposit at Bag Borrow or Steal™.

Looks like they’re draining the life right out of him!

Aired on TheDoctors November 24th.


I’m Thankful I Didn’t (take two)…

Ooops! I actually did do that.
 
… marry that guy that was old enough to be my father.
Wrong again. I did that too!
 
… move to one of the hottest places in North America.

Yipes! I did, and I’m still here too.

Wahhhh! No comment.


I’m Thankful I Didn’t (take three)…
 
… tattoo anyone’s name on my body.

Hey, I got one right!
 
… try to have my children at home.
C-sections are best done at the hospital, I would think.
 
… move to one of the coldest places in North America.
I’m a wimp when it comes to cold weather.
 
… moon or flash anyone.
Which reminds me…


A Mooning Memory
 
Way back in the late 70’s or early 80’s, I was having breakfast with my brother, sister, Mom and Dad at a restaurant in either Reno or Sparks, NV. This particular restaurant had a bubble window right next to one of the tables. Yes, a big bubble of a window to enjoy the view of snow covered mountains. Let me give you a little piece of advice. If you ever see a *Leave It To Beaver*-type family enjoying their french toast near a bubble window, do not moon them. They could be scarred for life.


• Are you thankful you didn’t…?
• Do you have a mooning memory?
