If it's Thursday, it must mean Mexican!

Here it is Thursday and time to have Mexican with my lovely niece and her Grandmother, plus asorted friends ~ oh, and my sister Mary, too! She's still with me! This makes two weeks now and she'll be here one more! What joy!

This is known as 'Nanny Night' ~ Mardi calls her Grandmother 'Nanny' and the dear sweet lady loves Mexican food, especially the margaritas! It's an evening we all look forward to the food and the fellowship and the laughter. There can be as few as three and as many as eight. We can eat and run or relocate to Mardi's and sit on the porch . . . we are in the south and it is the thing to do!

It's been a week and I'm so ready for 'Nanny Night'! A dear sweet lady, whom I've known all my life, died Sunday. She had a wonderful 97 years, filled with love, family, laughter, joy, travel, even sad times and tears. I, as well as others commented this week, have never heard her raise her voice in anger or say something bad about anyone. She almost always had a smile on her face. Guess that was the joy of the Lord shining thru! She will be greatly missed by many people who loved her dearly! Miss Lillie Mae, I love you to pieces!
