Pottery, Pizza & the redneck vehicle gets jazzed up.

So, it seems life is moving in fast motion. I'm having a hard time keeping up with stuff lately. Well, actually, I am keeping up with most stuff....just not blogging.

Anyhoo....here is a recap of Lo's first 19th birthday.

If I can't make each post about ME...then I will add ME to it. Right Mark?

Admit it, I was having a good hair day. 

And Lo, well she can wear a bandana like Aunt Jemima and still look wonderful. If she weren't related to me, I'd dislike her for that.
Plus, she loves pancakes...and Syrup. 

When I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, she wasn't sure. So I suggested a place that we like to visit at least once a year....Earth and Fire.  Her face lit up and she said Really????

Really.
Getting ready to create a picasso or something normal and less valuable.

Mom; making dreams come true daily. Or at least once a year. 

You pick out a piece of pottery. {naked} and paint. And pray that it comes out ok.

We have a cabinet full of stuff that we prayed over....and each piece is very special. 

Years ago, they used to charge you for the piece and your time per hour. That became an issue since some of us were more meticulous than others. And by 'some', I mean LoLo. 

Now, they just charge you for the piece and a flat rate for time. Which is good....since we were there for over THREE hours.

BUT...I knew this going in...and I took my sweet time. 

I made another pasta bowl to add to my collection of pasta bowls.
Funny, since I don't eat pasta.

I'm more of a pizza girl, and there is a lovely little italian place across the street from the lovely little pottery place.
We had a slice sitting outside watching the dock. {sitting by the dock Of the bay}

I'm no meteorologist, but even I knew it was going to rain.

 And it did. It rained SO hard that we had to stay put and eat ice-cream. The law.

The pizza/rain/ice cream law. 

On our way home from pottery painting and pizza....the Coach asked us to stop and pick up his Jeep from the guy who we give $ to keep the upkeep the vehicles. 

The good news: The jeep has new seats, new seat belts and a working gas gauge, and some other stuff that might be important.

Aren't you thrilled?

The bad news is it was raining during most of the drive home. 

And that little top up there is only mesh.

Needless to say, they were a bit wet after this little adventure....and I was driving aside them in the comforts of my fully enclosed car. 

Another law you might not be familiar with; Moms can't get wet while driving. 

This is getting lengthy. Later I will share with you our finished pottery pieces and the evolution of the famous birthday Peanut Butter Pie. It's more of a de-revolution.

Riveting stuff.  What will you do between now and then??
