A New Experience

Last Saturday I traveled to Memphis with Jen Howell and Mrs. Lee to the Asian Market. Our goal was to shop for Molly's Tol, or first birthday party. It was quite an experience.






Creepy dead fish








LIVE Blue Crabs. There was a little boy leaning over the tank and I was really afraid for him.







More dead fishies.








Jen trying to decide just which candy to get.








Doesn't the picture make you want to drink the tea just to relax like the lady on the box? Maybe not.

A Good Day

Today I got to watch Zach Howell play in his Upwards basketball game. I loved it! So much action for such small kids. Then we went to Cracker Barrel, a Howell and Hickman favorite. Zach talked me into the biscuits and gravy and I'm so glad he did. Delicious! Thanks Zach!

Then I decided to go home to have dinner with Mom and Dad. On my way I stopped by the Climer's, my adopted grandparent's house. I call them my adopted grandparents because all of my grandparents have passed away. So they gave me my Christmas gift and lots of frozen vegetables. It was a silver spoon that my great-grandmother had given them 48 years ago for their wedding. I don't know that I've ever gotten such a special gift. We cried together. It was definitely a special moment for both of us.

Anyway, after supper with Mom and Dad we watched I Am Legend. Talk about creepy. I still enjoyed it though. Then I exercised. It's only January 3rd and this was the second day I've exercised. Hopefully this will become a new habit.
