This is the funniest thing I have seen in awhile. Thanks to my So Not Right sister Charlotte for the heads up on this one. Press the play button and get ready to laugh.

Dallas Pride Parade

Dallas just had its annual Pride Parade. Now while most of the world has their pride parades in June or July, Dallas has it's parade in September, since it is suppose to be a bit cooler in September than in June around here. In the past few years that has not always worked out. We can easily have 100 degree days during September. Well this year we got a break from the heat and a break from the drought we have been dealing with all year long. The sky opened up and let a gentle rain fall for most of the parade day. That did not keep us from having a great time. We stood proudly out on the parade route with our umbrellas held high. There was a very large crowd that seemed to enjoy the cool wet weather. We had an absolute blast.

A Very Special Person Has Left This World

This morning I awoke to very sad news. A Texas Original...Ms. Ann Richards passed away last night. Ann Richards was one of those public figures that I truly looked up to. She spoke her mind and always could put a smile on a person's face. A big joy for me was getting my picture taken with Ann Richards just a couple of years ago. She was in Dallas speaking for the second time at the Dallas Fort Worth Black Tie Dinner. Texas and this country will miss you Ann. God speed and God Bless.

A couple of my favorite Ann Richards quotes:

About George H. W. Bush: ..."Poor George. He can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."

About life: "Life is like a layer cake," Richards said. "You put one layer on top of the other, and whether you frost it or not is up to you. I'm looking forward now to a little frosting."

I have returned from New Orleans

I have just returned from a trip to New Orleans. My friends and I went on this little trip to celebrate labor day in the most So Not Right way possible. We attended an event called Southern Decadence. I will post a few stories and lots of pictures in the coming days. For now take a look at this photo sent to me so quickly by a good looking red headed man named Vincent.
There is a whole story with this photo...will post more this week about it.
Enjoy
