Happy 75th Memaw!!

Memaw turned 75 last weekend, and we celebrated big! We went to McCormick and Shmick's, which was so, so yummy, and Memaw got her lobster she wanted for her big day. We told her she had just "rolled the triple quarter"... you'd have to know the story behind that to know why it's so funny to us. Jay and I, when we were first married and living near Atlanta, for some crazy reason used to frequent Ryan's. If you don't know what kind of restaurant that is, it's kind of like Golden Corral - you know, with the cheap buffet... Anyhoo, we were there one night when we overheard the birthday song being sung to a lady at a neighboring table. When a little boy at that table asked his granny how old she was, she responded with, "Son, this year Granny rolled the double nickel"... She was 55. Jay and I thought that was a hoot and have laughed about it since. So, it's not quite as funny as the double nickel, but we "coined" (no pun intended) the phrase "triple quarter" for Memaw's milestone. I'm on a "roll" here....ha, ha....okay I'll stop...
