Jersey Girl

Miami's biological Mommy was adopted by my friend Kristin Mathis a few years ago. Kristin sent me a pic of Jersey Girl from a few months ago frolicking in the snow and I wanted to share it with all of you. :)

SawGrass 2009 - SaturDAY

Saturday morning we had our breakfast casseroles, played games and snacked until it got good and hot outside to ride horses and lay out in the sun. :)

The guys went fishing. Here's Hal modeling his waders, what a country boy!

You know the expression "Pee like a race horse"?

Well, moments before we were back at the lodge Whiskey decides to do his "business" and poor Sarah didn't know what he was doing... this is her reaction after I told her. :)

The guys took the new SideKick and Mike and Jessa's car out fishing and skeet shooting...

SawGrass 2009 - FriNIGHT

SawGrass 2009 was fabulous!

.

Lori and John joined me Thursday night to shop for our weekend fun. We stopped in Ttown for some yummy Taco Casa, a mild combination burrito with extra sour cream, a small messy nachos and a large Mt. Dew! :) After we left a big dent in Sam's we headed to Walmart to get a few things... checking out took an hour!! Good grief at the 30 check out registers and the 3 that were open!!! We didn't get to SawGrass until after 11:00PM but then stayed up until 2AM chatting. :)

.

Friday morning I made my awesome volunteers homemade biscuits, bacon, and eggs for breakfast then we started deep cleaning the lodge. We finished around lunch and went to the M&M for a country meal. Cleaning wasn't nearly as painful with such great help!

.

While we were eating Sarah texted me letting me know that their group had arrived. Then along came everyone else behind them. I'm so glad this years SawGrass trip started so early!

.

Hal and Jared planning their weekend of poker.

Every SawGrass trip is full of fabulous snacks! Here is Maghan and her dip.

For dinner we had drunken chicken... yum!

Shaun, Paul and John helping us out by making sure only half a beer can was left for each hen.

Me and Tweety :)

Sarah enjoyed every minute of saucing up her bird.

But not as much as Ashley! :)

After we put the beer cans in the birds the guys did the grilling while we cleaned and made the baked potatoes.

Sarah and Maghan on self appointed clean up duty! Thanks ladies!

Me and Ashley on foil duty!

Ashley and Lori on fork stabbing duty (potatoes).

The chicken was fabulous!!

After dinner the guys played poker while the ladies played Mexican Train. Fun night!!

Stay tuned... SawGrass 2009 - SaturDAY
