What do George Jefferson, Crawfish, and NFL have in common?

It's September 14 the day after the lake. It's NFL all day and all night. It was going to be a quite NFL day. Then the phone starting ringing at 8:00 a.m. Rick and Clarence we're coming over later to watch football, cool! Then Rob calls he's going to bring crawfish's over later, cool! Then Jamie and Grant are going to come over, cool! As usual I forgot to open the gate. So I open the gate for Rick, and the phone rings (off the hook on NFL Sundays) As I'm running to the phone I see this huge trailer with something white on it. I answer the phone, and tell Travie to hang on when all of sudden I yelled at him "Travie, Jerry got a Sanford" Rick had surprised Jerry by giving him Jefferson for helping him. Now Travie is coming over with Sanford (It's a Daihatsu). Travie named his Sanford as in Sanford & Son's. You'll see what I mean when you see Jefferson (Jerry's Daihatsu) as in George Jefferson. They actually use these as transportation in Italy, but there a little bit nicer. We'll they carefully unload Jefferson, watch a little NFL, and then the crawfish arrive. I actually ate a couple tails, but noooooo heads. Yuk! I even talked Kelsey in to trying some tail, and she liked it too! Rob seasoned them really well, good job Rob. So with the gang that we had over I became offically beer wench. I didn't want anybody touching anything with there grubby crawfish fingers. It was messy, but yummy.

The Last Hoooraah? Not!

Well it was a cold, and breezy September morning, and this is going to be our last Hooorah for the year. Our regular com padres Jamie, Grant, Katie, and Travie were not able to come, so I begged my other kids (mom & dad) to come. As we make our rounds around town gas - a 30 min ordeal (gas station computers crashed), and Raley's for the good stuff (cocktails, ice, and of course food too!) We head out. Now I'm thinking I'm going to freeze to death wake-boarding, but not to worry I brought John Elway, and my shorty wetsuit. I may look like a nerd, but I will not let this cold weather ruin my last trip. On the way up dad is talking about all the dreams he had the night before and one of them was that I dragged them all the way up there and I didn't want to get in the water because it was cold. Like it or not I was getting in the water even if it started snowing! Well we finally arrive, get in the boat and we are literally sweating. It's hot! Fabulous! No John Elway for me! We launch and I look down at the fuel gauge, and OMG,it's completely full! The last thing I heard Jerry tell my dad was just put in a half tank so we won't have any sit in the boat all year. My dad was my hero! We will have to go again. We take off and the water is awful. We get beat up a little then off to the houseboats. We visit with the gang Happy Ours, Fairplay, and Dave & Naomi's . We have some good laughs. It's late afternoon and the water is placid so off we go. Jerry wipes out harder than I've seen him in a long time, and knocks a little air out of him, dad can't even get up on the board, and poor Jay's wipe out was the worst. I actually fared well, no problems. So back to the houseboat for more eats, and drinks. Eventually we decide it's time to go. The water is still awesome so I'm going to board till I can't take it no more. Then out of the blue, mom wants to try and board, awesome! I think it took about 4 times and she did it, and I think she crashed out of pure excitement.



So as we drove out of sight we'll see you again Don Pedro we still have 3/4 of a tank. Hee Hee :)
