Mobile Humor

Ok, so it is funny enough that I, who have spent all of my life north of the Mason-Dixon Line, will be a transplant to Mobile, but here is some humor I have found since the big news...

Now Ed's Shed was one of the first places we ate at in Mobile.  And I actually took this picture for Josh, because when he and Ryann come to visit, he better bring his mullet wig for Mullet Mondays!  Then I learned that a Mullet is not only a bad hairdo but also a fish!   I wonder which one came first?  

Now here is something that Ryann brought to my attention, so I can't take the credit for this.  I guess there was a leprechaun sighting in 2006 in a Mobile neighborhood.  So if you would like a good laugh, please check out the website www.wheredagoldat.com.  There is the original news story.  It is a must see.  My favorite part is the sketch...enjoy!

Well, I am sure that there will be more humorous stories to come, but I will leave you with the thought that while you are all land-locked and freezing next January, we will be enjoying Fall temperatures and the ocean.  But again, you are always welcome to come visit!!

A busy week in Mobile, Alabama...

Hello everyone!  Andy and I have been very busy in Mobile.  In less than one week, we are pretty much ready to move to Mobile...except for that whole packing thing in KC.  We found a great house with lots of room for us and for people to come visit!  Actually, now we have a bit more house than furniture, but that won't be too hard to deal with.  :)  It is very strange and wonderful that we are moving to the gulf coast.  We went to Gulf Shores for dinner on Thursday.  The sand was so soft and the water so warm, it brought back summer memories on the Gulf for both of us.  I can't believe that we are a 45 minute drive to those beautiful beaches!!   Mobile is a beautiful city that has the architecture of New Orleans and supposedly a Mardi Gras that is just as fun!  I think I ate seafood every meal down there.   Pretty much any entree on the menu that had crab meat was what I ordered!  It is so nice to have fresh seafood available, and Andy was excited about the turnip greens and fried okra that was offered as a side even at the BBQ place.   

Well, I thought I would fashion myself after Ryann and start a blog, so here it goes.  I know that I am not as comical as she is in her writing... :) but I'll try, and at least we can keep everyone up on our adventures.  Until next time...Here are some pics of our new house.  PS. notice the two huge palm trees just off our deck!!
