My mother pulled into Town on Monday with her Airstream in tow. For those of you who don't know about Airstreams, check 'em out. They are super groovy.

Momma and I had a wonderful visit and I was a little choked up to see "the mothership" pull out onto The Circle and "on the road again."

On Thursday I joined the Walden friends and family for a press conference at Gateway Park and the naming & dedication of the I-16/Martin Luther King, Jr. interchange, in honor of the late Phil Walden. Under the bright Georgia sun, we stood witness to the most touching ceremony.

And under the season's hottest, or should I say "coolest," trend Jessica (Walden) and I, as the true fashionistas that we strive to be, worked on bringin' the sexy, and the parasol, right on back.

On Friday, I traveled to Warner Robins for the Museum of Aviation's ribbon cutting and reception to dedicate the new exhibit. In attendance were David Thompson, Steve Kruger and Oliver Bateman. I have known Oliver for quite some time. And, in this case, the TOAST goes to his mother . . . who raised one of the finest boys I have ever known.

Later on I burned up a little more rubber on my way out to Bolingbroke. I spent the night at Buck Head Plantation with Holly Doss, one of my very first friends. The two of us passed the time as any other real live southern women would . . . having "licka" drinks on the back porch and catching up. A couple of toddies later we "heard something" in the bushes.

A couple of Holly's "hey Mama"s later we were in the woods. I was toting a very large loaded firearm (for protection), Gail was toting a very large highbeam (to help us get a look at BigFoot) and Holly had little Gunner on her hip. Watch out for Granny Oakley & her bubbley banditos!

Saturday night, I joined the "Big Fat Walden Wedding Weekend" for a Par-Tay at Grants. That's right . . . Grant's Lounge. Alan Walden "brought sexy back", Karla Redding-Andrews & her husband Tim showed us ALL how to dance, and I got to hear about the wedding from Jessica.

Jessica's cousin Amantha had been married to her true love, Nick, earlier in the evening at the Douglass Theatre. You can read all about it in The Times. Guests in attendance included The Washington Post's "Miss Manners" and Rap Artist T-Pain.

Jessica, George (Walden), Betsy (Stokes), Tosha (Walden) and the adorably tuxedo t-shirted & top hatted, T-Pain danced our little hearts out to a mix of old school and top forty that would make you weak in the knees.

We TOASTed each other with drinks mixed with Coca-cola Classic (no diet cola in this joint), we used cocktail napkins to dab away the dance fever induced "glow" on our faces and we smoked some Newport cigarettes! Oh my Momma would just be so proud.

To this day, I consider one of my only real claims to fame the fact that I went home with the Little Miss Bibb County tiara when both Holly and Jessica were my (quite formidable) opponents. I must have charmed the daylights out of those judges.
