Build your vocabulary, feed the hungry...
12,513,079,830 grains donated at this point...
So, we said this would happen on Monday, but what the hell...the pictures showed up and we will share the story today...
Music Maestro
Bright and early on Sunday, me and Nancy left Olive Branch, MS and hit the highway for Lexington, KY...The car was loaded with a tray of lasagna that weighed just short of 8 pounds...(YUP, we said 8 pounds...there was a pound of pasta, 2 pounds of ricotta cheese, 2 pounds of mozzarella cheese, about 3 pounds of beef and sausage and gravy)...
We had some Pepsi and Diet Cokes, a few Ham and Cheese sammichs and tunage galore...
The ride was smooth and as we headed north out of Nashville the line of Kentucky fan cars heading into Nashville for the Music City Bowl became long and deep...luckily we were heading in the opposite direction...
We made it to Lexington with no problem and walked into Casa DH/TurnBaby and were greeted with warmth and smiles...
The lasagna went into the oven to warm up as we were shown to our Executive Suite on the second floor...
Wine was opened and toasts were made and we sat to eat and laughs ensued, but they were minor compared to what followed.
We sat around the kitchen table and for the next hour the listeners of TurnBaby Talks on BlogTalk Radio were entertained with a constant barrage of giggles and fun....Matt-Man called in to sing his "Free Rice - Raw Hide" parody written by the whimsical Travis...If you have not heard it, check it out HERE...BUT come back and hear the rest of the story...LOL
Katherine called in and was her usual humorous self and, it appears, made a decision based upon her time on the show...she also got me to name my friend (and if you are interested in learning it, you will have to go to the archives for now...hehehheehehe)
Dixie called in to play around and let us talk to the Marine, Matt, and we wished him good luck as he went off to his next assignment...
Doc Blogstein called in from his time in Maryland to just say hey and we truly appreciated it...
Mr. Fabulous called in and promised to whip up penis bracelets for me and Nancy....waiting waiting waiting...we will be waiting...waiting for our penis braceletsssssssssss (Rawhide still on our mind...hehehe)
As the show went on, the Sambuca came out and it made the show even snarkier...at one point Turn even put me on MUTE! ...as she said "take back her show"...hehehehehehe
After the show more cocktails were had and eventually we headed for bed...
Monday was a day of shopping and prepping for the party that evening...But first, TurnBaby cooked up a wonderful breakfast of eggs and bacon and biscuits...
We had been asked to make up an antipasto...one of our favorite things to do...so:
The Finished ProductSalami, Cappocola, Prosciutto, Artichoke Hearts, Pepperocini, Hard Boiled Eggs,
Pepperoni, Black & Green Olives, Roasted Red Peppers, Anchovy Fillets,
Mozzarella Balls & Chucks of Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
Anti & BondTurn was very happy with the finished product...so we hugged and smiled...
Did I say she REALLY liked the Antipasto?
The Kentucky Football team was playing in the Music City Bowl vs. a team from Florida and we had some cocktails and began to watch...the got dressed and continued to watch the game awaiting the other guests...
First to arrive were M & D..two really nice people...M is a real down-to-earth guy and we hit it off....
Then D & B showed up and we all had dinner....TurnBaby made delicious Tenderloin of Beef, which had been marinated in Bourbon and Thyme and garlic and some great creamed smashed red potatoes and green and yellow wax beans...
As we were finishing dinner J & T arrived and we set up the poker table for some Texas Hold 'Em Poker...
Laughter abounded and the drinks flowed freely...
Just before midnight we ended the game and got ready for the countdown...
Kisses and hugs were flowing as freely as the booze....LOL..some asked not to include their pictures, so we are honoring their wishes...

Turn shows Nancy what a GROPE really feels likeThen downstairs for some pool...well, something that looked like pool...LOL
Sure she looks fuzzy...so were my eyes
And finally...there were shoes.....THUMP!
The next morning we were up and with the left over French bread we were asked to make French toast with bacon and we did and then we headed back to Tennessee and Mississippi...
Found a White Castle and introduced Nancy to real 'mushies" (not the frozen kind from the store) and also hit a Steak & Shake for a Chocolate/Strawberry side by side shake ...
We did hit some snow in the mountains west of Nashville, but otherwise the drive was uneventful...
TY TY TYVM to TurnBaby and the DH for being such incredible hosts for our days in Lexington...

Glad y'all had such a great time...but, um, did you bring back a doggie bag for the puppy? I Loooove lasagna! :P
whoa Vincent...did you just order the wrong Mississipi bracelet?

Hello pro bloggers.
bond, I'm no longer a "virgin"(are we really only a virgin once?), but I feel the need to be careful with my information. I've created a "code" for my mom's blog. I'm unsure of the level of sophistication needed (remember, I'm a simple teamster). I'm going to post a sample message on this site with the hope that some of you will attempt to break the code. I'm not paranoid....just being very, very, very careful.
b d b x b y k h i u k r z x c v p g d k c s
thank you for any and all attempts and we'll see if I need to adjust "the code"
The Teamster
by the way...Marilyn, my nudes are for sale on my website.
the above is a repost from that probably got lost in past posts.
bond...it appears we share an interest in music...zep, dead, floyd, I'm going to throw some regional names at you....musslewhite, greene, yates, buffalo, rogers. A blues festival in Memphis in May?
Looks as though you guys had a great time! Good for you...
I'm glad you have revealed your "friend"....bwahhaahhhaahhh....She is gorgeous!! Turn is gorgeous!!! Love the beard and the pics and the whole warm fuzzy friend thing. Glad you are soooo happy. You deserve it in spades.
OB: ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I knew that ...I did I did..my brain was mush yesterday, but you knew that
KATHERINE: I have planned on adding another "head" to the Couch..thanks...the KY blue is even more shocking in person...Shall I send you a sack?
MERI: Ya have to come to me or let me come to you to be fed... sorry
KATHERINE: I am sooooooo blushing over my mistake
TEAMSTER: I know Musselwhite..the rest, you will need to update me on... the code...dude you are not endured I stay up all night until I crack it...LOL

MIMI: TY ...I really am...
