Claiming My Summer…

I took the kids to my parent's house last night and my husband and I are off to Atlanta today for the Jimmy Buffett concert with some friends. We've got big tailgating plans and I cannot wait to immerse myself in the Chair
Buffett culture. Our friends, Jacquelyn and Michael, are weathered parrotheads. This is their 18th concert. It's my second and my husband's first. Jacquelyn tried her best to get me to wear a coconut bra but that is simply not happening. No way in hell. I'm wearing a lei and a Hawaiian shirt. That's the best I can do. We'll be drinking lots of margaritas and cold beer and grilling some cheeseburgers in the paradise of the parking lot. I fully plan on waking up in the morning with a brand new tattoo and no clue how it got there.

  2. Hum, second concert, second tattoo, did I ever tell you about my friend, Dave Barr the Sturgis S.D. regular, he comes home with new ink every year, How about Jacquelyn and Michael, 18 concerts? any ink? Anyway, the only way it could get better is if Grandma Mary and I were on the road too. Not this year, maybe next.

  3. Jilsey & Pony-Boy, have a wonderful time in Margaritaville. I'm there with you in spirit. I think you'll enjoy the adult Buffett experience much more so than our 8th grade experience! What were those Sunday School teachers thinking??

  4. Rock on with your bad self, although the coconut bra would have been quite something! Have a great time!
