Our Baby Is Nearly A Year Old *to us*

Ray had me upload this while he is picking up Tricia & Dylan to begin our long journey to Georgia. We have had the bike nearly a year--it was second only to the other best birthday gift a girl could get--my granddaughter, Melba Tonimarie Gehle, who will also be a year old on August 25. BTW, my birthday is August 23. Melba is much more fun for me to play with though.

: ) Looking forward to the trip today--don't get to spend time often with my youngest stepdaughter & her tribe. Always a treat spending time with the "in-laws"--that makes me an outlaw, I guess. This would be considered a "blahg"as in "blah, blah, blah." See you all in Georgia--the Queen.

WEDDING COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

Less than 48 hours until Brandy and Rob become Mister and Missus.

Road trips begin tomorrow with Pete, Doug and me heading south in the morning; Ray, Lola, Amelia, Tricia and Dylan leaving around the same time, I guess and Michelle and Kim heading down a little later.

We should all arrive in Georgia about dinnertime, which means 24 hours to go (give or take a couple of hours)!!!

Mike and Paul are arriving late, late Thursday. Chance is coming down on Friday. Mark couldn't make it, unfortunately - I was so hoping to get to see him there (maybe later this summer?).

Wedding, reception, cookouts.....family fun time! Woo hoo!
Stay tuned for pics and more!

BRANDY - - - REMINDER

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CALL THE TAXI CO. TODAY OR TOMMORROW TO RESERVE A TAXI TO BE WAITING OUT BACK ON THE BIG DAY. (IN CASE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AT THE LAST MINUTE)

ROAD TRIP WITH PETE & ROBIN

ROBIN, I AM STILL NOT SURE IF I AM GOING. HOWEVER, IF I DO, I DOUBT THAT IT WILL BE FAMILY FUN DAY IN THE CAR. I STILL REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WENT DOWN THERE WITH YOU AND PETE. FIRST, AS SOON AS WE GET ON THE HIGHWAY, YOU BOTH WANT TO STOP AT EVERY BAR OR LIQUOR STORE THAT WE PASS. THEN BY THE TIME WE GET TO KENTUCKY, YOU ARE BOTH DRUNK, SWERVING ALL OVER THE ROAD, HONKING THE HORN, AND YELLING AT TRUCKERS. THEN BY THE TIME WE GET TO TENNESSEE YOU ARE BOTH HUNGRY SO WE STOP TO EAT AND YOU PASS OUT IN YOUR BISCUITS AND GRAVY AND PETE CALLS THE WAITRESS A SLUT AND THROWS A PITCHER OF ICE WATER ON HER. THEN I DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY WHILE YOU BOTH SLEEP AND WHEN WE GET THERE YOU BOTH WAKE UP AND PRETEND IT WAS A FUN TRIP AND TELL EVERYBODY IT REALLY DIDN'T SEEM LIKJE IT TOOK THAT LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
