Hockey, Laughs, races and good times

This past weekend my friend Emily and I decided we needed to take a break from the booming metropolis of Dyersburg so we headed out to Nashville to meet Judy and Margaret. On our way out of town we made a pit stop at The Java Cafe to get our coffee fix and then hit the road. Our ETA at Margarita's was approx 12:45pm, but along the way we had a detour. There was a major wreck around the 165 mile marker and the traffic was backed up past the TN river bridge. Emily and I decided to adventure out into the hills surrounding interstate 40 and make a new path to Nashville. Exit 143 was shut down so we had to take an obscure exit and somehow ended up on a gravel road. We quickly turned around b/c we were sure the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" house was around the corner. Rocks were sprayed as wheels spun.....and we were outta there.
We finally made it to the Reeves abode about 2:40pm.

Judy appeared soon after and the laughing commenced. I am sure Emily thought we were out of our minds. We soon headed out to the Mall at Green Hill's to do some shopping before we went to eat. Apparently the mall was testing a new idea of how to separate the weak shoppers from the determined b/c the air was NOT on and you would break out in a sweat riding the escalator. The bathing suit shop was hopping.

We made our way downtown and drove around in circles, even crossing the bridge once, before we decided on a place to park. Although there was some talk about taking the shuttle from the parking lot across from the Coliseum, but I think we might have had a long wait...the parking lot was packed.

We ate at Bailey's where Amy Fulbright came and met us and then headed over to the game. Oh yeah, the service at Bailey's is still very very slow.

The Preds won. My favorite part of hockey happened like 10 times...fights!!! After the game we tried to take some photos but my hair would not cooperate and Judy reminded Margaret that she needed to switch to filtered cigs.

Nate was working the street(Central Parking) over at the Symphony so we headed to see him and then headed back to the house.

Margaret kept everyone up late talking, and we finally had to tell her it was time for bed.

On Sunday we went to church and went to Brother C. Barrel's Sunday school class,where we met a lady who lost an hour of sleep.

I will not comment on the events that took place between church and Sunday school. I will say "RED...Yellow...GREEN" and they're off!!

I had a great time spending time with my friends on our Girls night out.....no comments Jenny!

Over the years I have had the honor of becoming friends with people from all over. Sometimes when I see someone I think I know I have to think about where I know them from.....what school....what city...
I almost never get to integrate pods of friends ( at least not more than a passing hello) but this weekend I really enjoyed seeing 2 of my "worlds" come together. And as in the words of Ozzie, " I love you all..more than life itself, but your all freaking mad!"
