Very Happy Very Belated

Gee - I got this blog invite from Debbie a few weeks ago and had no idea it was for her birthday - guess I should try a little harder to keep up with my email. I sure hope it was a happy one Debbie!

The first funny story that comes to mind, hmm.... I think Debbie and I were in 9th or 10th grade - I know Debbie was driving the "crummy ghia" as we used to call it. I was at home, sitting on a lovely white porcelain chair (you know, the one with the silver handle and the water under the seat in the bathroom) and I was singing out loud "Little rabbit foo-foo, hopping through the forest, picking up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head...". Debbie surprised me by walking right into the bathroom just as I hit the chorus ("down came the good fairy, and she said 'little rabbit foo-foo, I don't wanna see you, scooping up the field mice and bopping 'em on the head - I'll give you three chances'..."). For those readers who are wondering, yes I left the bathroom door open - it was Mississippi for cryin' out loud - I was just glad the plumbing was inside the house, who cared about shutting the door. Debbie took one look at me and started laughing so hard that she literally rolled on the floor holding her sides and I thought I was going to have to call EMS to give her mouth-to-mouth 'cause there was no way she could possibly inhale any oxygen while she was howling that hard. (Debbie - do you remember that?)

It still makes me smile :-)

Debbie - I can't count the number of times the pleasure of your company and your laughter has blessed me. Sure do love you, Debbie-Do.

Love,
Julie
