Wine, Women And Song

We are officially home!!! I'm tired beyond belief, but I thought I would do a quick post on the blog party to get you all warmed up. Theresa was a doll to host this event once again and she had a really good turn out. It's really growing and this year she also had a book signing for Sue Whitney, which was a big success as well. I'd love to tell y'all that we were all perfect ladies, but I don't see any point in blowing smoke up y'alls dresses 'cause we weren't. We were loud, silly, and laughed our butts(can I say that?) off!!! It might have been windy in Warrenton, Texas on Sunday but it didn't stop us from having a good time and adding our own share of wind by shooting the breeze---A LOT!!! Ms. T had plenty for us to nosh on and the wine flowed! A lot of us were still setting up or selling so some visits were short. Maggie came over from her set up at the Texas Rose show. I kept having to leave and go help Cat Daddy sell. I'm not complaining, mind you though! I missed a lot of bloggers and I didn't get all the photos I wanted to, but I was there to sell and that's what we did! More on that later. But you just can't go to Warrenton and especially Zapp Hall and not squeeze in some fun as well. I mean really, what's the point?

Check out these boots Maggie was wearing!!! Aren't they a hoot? They are rubber boots....what a kick, literally! You can't tell from my poor photography skills, but there are skulls on them. Fab U Lous!

This shot reminds me of that old song "I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me". Cher really lives up to her name of Texas Woman. Would somebody tell Cat Daddy to take the lens cap off...just kidding!

Susan, Mindy, TOT and Cher just standing around looking pretty. TOT looks like she's lost in thought. Probably wondering red or white? Nah...she's not much on red!

Mercy, look who just walked in the door! It's the one and only YaYa come to show us how to do it the Cajun way!

Remember Cher, once on the lips...forever on the hips! Girl, go ahead and indulge...you don't have a thing to worry about.

How's this for a bevy of beauties? Elizabeth was a surprise guest courtesy of the YaYa. Thank you Debi. Elizabeth, you are a delight and it was a treat to get to meet you. Of course y'all know the rest...TOT, Shelly (Sweet Pea), Susan (Found Around) and Mindy. Do y'all have any idea how hard it is for me to be the center of attention with such loveliness to compete with? Had to keep my eye on C.D. at all times!

Heidi is another beautiful lady who came by. Doesn't T's spot look fantastic? She and her junking buddy, Marion, did a beautiful job getting the tables, seating and food set up just for us.

OK, behind that camera is my new BFF...Amy of Whisperwood Cottage! She is so talented and just a joy to be around. She's also cute, cute, triple cute! Don't worry Laurie and Lulu. I wasn't cheating on y'all. Y'all are still my favorite honey baked hams from Jawjah! Speaking of Laurie...oh my! Just wait until she tells y'all all about her flight drama. All I'll say is she was very, very late in getting to the field and was wound up tighter than my girdle after a visit to the porta potties!

Moi with Mindy's best friend Stacy. Everyone kept saying we looked alike and I just wanted to make sure y'all got to see the resemblance. As long as they thought I was her sister and not her mother (not that that would be a bad thing, she's darling) it was cool, but I have this vanity thing going on. BTW, check out my bracelet and remind me to show y'all what Ms. T gave me!

And last, but certainly not least, two of the stars of the party! Elizabeth is just beautiful and well, there just aren't enough adjectives to describe her. I think in my next life, I will marry her! Speaking of married, a cat that needs no introduction....the one and only king of the road himself-Cat Daddy!!!! Can you stand it??? I tell you, I think I'm going to have to buy that man another hat...his head is so big from all the women begging for photos and for him to dance. It's a good thing I got to go this time or I just might not have got him back! If you get the chance to come in the fall and as if the shopping or the blog party isn't enough incentive, remember Cat Daddy will be there to ogle!

A big ol' Texas thank you to Theresa for a great way to kick off the show! T.
