Well, I finally figured out how to post a photo on this thing!!!! This past weekend, the kids and I traveled "home" to Weaverville for my oldest sister's 50th birthday celebration. Several members of my family dressed "up" (or should I say down?!?!?) and visited her work in a major bank. We sported bandanas, hats, cow socks, wigs, flannel with holes, liquor jugs, and hula hoops. We then proceeded to "act like we grew up in a barn" (as my mama would have said!), talking very loudly about how PURTY the bank was, and then presenting her with a new version of "Coal Miner's Daughter" as a singing telegram. It was complete with old-timey jug-blowing, foot-stompin', and hula-hoopin'!!! Need I tell you that she was trying to hide in the vault??? We finished up her nifty-fifty-surprise with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday", complete with farm animal sounds and all. Then on Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for her. All was certainly going well until, during the pinata-busting (or pina-colada....hee-hee, Cathy), my sister ended up giving all of us the surprise when she slipped and ended up crushing her knee cap!!! She was rushed to the hospital, thanks to first responders, and had knee surgery today. Bless her sweet heart!!! What a gift to give yourself for the big 5-0!!!!! Please remember her as you pray......
