The Gov, Tim Foley & Michelle were also
dining at Elizabeth's
that night and sent Steve their birthday wishes
Tim & Tammy Foley were celebrating their
friend Michelle's birthday...the big hat was available
for Steve to wear because Michelle had the good
sense to say "No" when asked if she wanted to wear it
hoping to get on the good side of Chef Heidi,
Sherry paid a visit
to the kitchen and brought Heidi an "Adventures" button
and it obviously worked
when the Gov celebrated his birthday at Elizabeth's
he did
magic tricks for Sherry....this time he just put a couple of
wine glasses on the window sill, grins at them and whistles through
his teeth, knowing full well that Sherry is a sucker for that kinda stuff
Sherry and our waiter Gregg prepare to serve
up
a little of that delicious Elizabeth's dessert
only good fortune and a cluttered table are
able to
spare us from seeing what is actually happening here
that Saturday morning Sherry is off to see
her good friend Sean
to pick up the crawfish for the 1st Annual Adventures
of Sherry Crawfish Boil she is throwing for all the folks
who have been nice enough to be in the Adventures
and make them so much fun
Sherry unloads the mudbugs
slices up some Andouille Sausage
rounds up any crawfish attempting to escape
then it's time to greet all the Adventurers
Ronald and Sherry dumped out the first batch and it was on
folks start to dig in as Lisa arrives and
greets Sherry
with one of her now familiar poses
Victoria brought Sherry some beautiful roses
and then
was impressed when she saw the American Legion Award
that Sherry received in elementary school
that hangs proudly in the bathroom
Larissa claims her share of the roses as she
announces
that she also was a recipient of the American Legion Award
so our American Legion girls pose for a picture
while Carl salutes them by chugging an Abita
Sherry with her old friends Jeff & Andrea
Timpa
(a.k.a Commish & the Dre) as she congratulates
the Commish for running the Crescent City Classic
earlier in the day in only 50:22 and the Dre
for making the Times Picayune Social Scene
for receiving the "Loyola Best Casenote Award 2002-2003"
at the Loyola Law Review Banquet
