New Pics of Caroline Louise and Chip!!

Kitty and Pop sure get around. They are everywhere!

Caroline strolls the beach constantly thinking about and missing her Aunt MuffinFace.

Do they makes those suits in my size?

As I am still full of great memories from last weekend - another weekend approaches that is shaping up to be just as fabulous. Ma is coming in town with some of her friends and my friend (and old roomie) Burgess is coming in from P'Town too see the play too. Before I post a bunch of new pics I needed to share a few more of the pics from last weekend.

I think soon they will take this to the streets so watch your wallets!

My favorite Pic of Harry from last weekend.

too cute not to post.

Pop and Harry playing on the mouth harp - just like Mr. Steve does!

Post show follies- or lots of pics of Muffinface.......

I was so happy on Saturday night. So many of my peeps were in attendance and it made the show really fun to perform, if a little nerve racking (but in a good way).

Thanks to everyone who came out - most went to Davis and Main after and I was able to capture some on camera. You know how shy this group is!

Unfortunately Steve O. had a gig and even though we seriously considered all going we knew it would be hard to catch up and talk with each other while listening to the sounds of Dick Butt Kiss.

It was fun to see my Pop and Kitty talk about their travels and hang out with my friends. Seriously, those kids can hang! Sissy and Beth were there and finally got to meet Robert who entertained us with the funniest joke I might have ever heard. I tried to recreate it once but I could not do it - so I make Robert tell it over and over. Just thinking about him telling it is making me laugh out loud while I type. .
This weekend my Ma is coming with some of her friends. I can't wait to see her!

Family Fun at Liberty Valance.




One of me and Steve O's favorite places for steak is a restaurant called Liberty Valance. It has been there so long that when they built the new strip mall- (Mexico, Starbucks, Ukrop's, etc) they built everything around this restaurant. We love going because they have an excellent prime rib and the prices are incredibly low. Saturday Pop and Kitty came in to see the play with Beth and Sissy. That day Gretchen drove down with my Niece and Nephew so we could all spend time together. Unfortunatly for her - what should have been an hour and a half trip turned into three hours due to some nasty traffic. At some point during the trip she declaired to her two small children "Somebody better be dead or badly injured up there!"
I suggested this restaurant for lunch. I often wondered what Pop and Kitty would think of the place. It is not fancy and decorated kitchie with western junk everywhere. I thought they might laugh at it but then be impressed with the food itself. Well, from the moment we walked in they loved it. Since we had such a big group we were seated in our own room to the right of the restaurant that was decorated like an old west living room. Complete with fire place and old fashioned TV. (hey - there weren't any TVs in the Wild West) anyway - it was fun and so cute. I told everyone they should order some kind of steak since that is really their specialty. Since it was the only meal I was to eat that day I had the prime rib and a salad. They make their own blue cheese dressing and it is so good I have often gone there just for that. -

I wonder what the other patrons were thinking when we started taking pictures of everything.

Harry enjoyed the fries.
Beth (and many others at the table) ordered the prime rib sandwich. It is so good.
My dinner - the "pilgrim" size prime rib - very tender and full or flavor.
the TV in the dinning room makes you feel like you are eating at the Smithsonian.
Fun in the stage coach area.

It's a sign


My friend (and recent guest blogger) Lee saw this sign on the road back from NC.
As he said - you can't make this stuff up.

Sissy and Beth Visit Muffinface! Part One...........










Friday night my Sissy and Beth came in from Miami. I only had about an hour with them before I headed off to the show. They were going to dinner with Steve O and then off to his gig at the Triple. Beth and Sissy were hoping to see Cheenon but had to settle for Dick Butt Kiss. I got there after my show and they were just about to start. Good timing. Good times.
More weekend fun to come.
