Blue Monday

Woo, Y'all, can you believe it's Monday already...my, my, doesn't the week end just fly by?
Having said that I guess you know that means it time for Blue Monday over at SmilingSally's...so be sure and drop by and check out all the great blues that other blogger buddies have to offer. Please visit Smiling Sally by clicking here
Today I want to tell you about my sweet little DIL, my BB will turn 30 ( oh to be so old again...lol..) Aug. the 8th, since he will be on call at the Hospital that week, sweet little DIL planned a surprise Birthday Party for him, how' this wasn't  just any surprise party...oh no, it had to be special..she planned everything without his knowing.....in New Orleans...she even rented a room in the French Quaters for 2 nights. She and 3 of her girl friends almost pulled it off, untill Mr. Nosy was hunting a recipe for something sweet in her on line weight watchers recipe file...lol..she had hide the conformation for the rooms in there...he's such a spoil sport. He didn't find out until 4 days before, so at least it was a little surprising.
They had a great time, here are some of the pictures they took, all of them have blue in them so I figure this can pass as a blue Monday post... 
This is the gang of friends that went to New Orleans to help him Celebrate...you noticed Momma wasn't invited...lol...Chad his best friend from High school lives in NO now and he did make it by, but wasn't there when the picture was made..and the little girl in blue's Hubby was taking the picture...Ronnie and MinMin was suppose to go but Ronnie had to work all night Fri. night...he wasn't a happy camper..
There is blue in this one....his shirt, don't you just love the cake...NOT..I said she was a sweet DIL, I didn't say she was right...lol...he said it actually tasted pretty good..I bet it did.
The mug he recived from the Hotel bar for his Birthday, it also has blue in it...
The sweet DIL and BB, on the balcony over looking the French Quarters
Here are some pictures from their Balcony
 
  
  
  
 
 
In case they decided to get to roudy the police were everywhere down there. Hope you enjoyed this little stroll down Bourdon street and the French Quarters, I know there are a couple of my blogging friends who know this area and I hope it brings them sweet memories....Dear DIL wrote on her facebook that these folks never sleep at night, she needs her ear plugs..lol..I could have told her not to try to sleep over the French Quarters...it doesn't shut down till day light.

  1. Hi Molly!
    How sweet is this. What a wonderful DIL to plan such a great surprise for his birthday. Looks like a wonderful time was had by all. I would definitely say you can't go to New Orleans to sleep. That city NEVER sleeps. Great post honey. Happy Monday. Country Hugs, Sherry

  3. Oh, the Quarter! I recall it well. No, they don't sleep there, just carouse and generally get into mischief!

    I had to take a second look at that cake. My, my. Innocent old me thought it was a frog with bugged-out eyes at first, duh. These kids!!!

    Happy Blue Monday!

  7. HOW, in the world, do you cut a cake like that...and where? I want to know who got the boobie prize!?
    I was 18 when I visited the French Quarter. One trip to New Orleans was enough for me, we did have a marvelous time though. My hair frizzed out to afro proportions!

  11. Your DIL is sweet and it must be wonderful to see your son so spoiled. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

  12. Now that is the way to celebrate! How rude of your son to turn 30 though. My youngest turns 30 in January. I'd tell people I adopted him as a teenager, but he looks to much like me to deny!
