After visiting Andy in Tulsa, Mom and Dad were kind enough to give me a ride home. Just a short 11 hour drive from Tulsa to Mobile... It was just like old times. Mom and Dad drove and I slept in the back. When we got to Mobile, we had lots of fun. First of all Dad helped remodel our guest bath. The people that lived here before us put in a nice double sink, but left the original medicine cabinet/mirror that was placed in the center of the two sinks. We (I mean Dad) took it out and we found about 50 used razor blades from the 60's - Yuck! Whoever thought of that great idea, didn't think to far into the future. Anyway we got rid of those and dad re-wired a new light fixture. It was my job to find a mirror that would fit (and not break the bank). I finally decided as a last effort to check out Kirkland's in the mall. To Mom and my surprise, we found one that was even on sale! The funniest part of this is that we left Dad at home and I then had purchased a 24 x 48 framed mirror that I thought I was going to have to walk through the mall to the car with... Luckily, they have a service door and all was well, we even fit it into the Avalon back seat with a bit of maneuvering. Don't worry we didn't scratch the leather. Anyway with much anticipation, here is the progression of the new guest bath.
Yikes!
Getting there.
Wow, Dad rules!
Don't worry we did have fun! We enjoyed Pensacola beach and found about 50 big sand dollar pieces, so Mom was able to bring home more shells... We had a great plan to watch fireworks on a hill outside Fort Conde, but 20 fire ant bites later (on my left foot), we decided to stand under the overpass and enjoyed a bit of wine in Mardi Gras cups as we watched the show. I actually cooked fish and shrimp for Mom and Dad a few times at home, but we did splurge their final night for Mullet Monday at Ed's Shed. On Sunday, we went over to Fairhope and unfortunately all the shops were closed, but we went to the Grand Hotel - Point Clear and had a yummy mixed fruit Mojito.
Stella and I are getting excited because Andy will be home in 2 days. I will have to take him to the beach this weekend. He has some catching up to do with his tan...
It was a bit windy on the bay... nice antennas Megan...
The picture was too cute to leave out.
