Where Are They Headed? (Photostory)

Who is this?

Oh look.  It's Camille Langford and her oldest daughter, Jacquelyn.  I wonder where they are going?

"Now that's a nice little car."  (Jacquelyn)

"Little is right.  That car shouldn't even be on the highway."  (Camille)

"It's not that bad.  It's bigger than those SmartCars."  (Jacquelyn)

"If you say so."  (Camille)

"Did I tell you, me, Grace and Dominique are planning to have a sleepover like we used to do before they became mothers."  (Jacquelyn)

"Oh that will be nice.  Are you guys inviting me?"  (Camille)

"We were thinking you can have your own sleepover with your granddaughters."  (Jacquelyn)

"Well that might be nice.  I haven't kept those munchkins overnight in a while now."  (Camille)

"So have you seen Kendra, lately?  How's she doing?"  (Jacquelyn)

"I've only talked to her on the phone.  She's almost on complete bed rest, and you know Dr. Nate is driving her crazy."  (Camille)

"I can only imagine what that husband of hers is putting her through."  (Jacquelyn)

"He means well."  (Camille)

"I really need to call her or go see her before the shower.  I have no excuse, now that I am back in town."  (Jacquelyn)

"I'm sure she would love the company.  If I didn't have a full schedule today, we could have swung by to see her."  (Camille)

Tune in tomorrow to see where they are headed!

Asian Buffet is Now Open

As you know Rod and Danielle are headed out to dinner with the family.  This was the perfect time to open the Asian Buffet restaurant.  It is still a work in progress.

The restaurant is very popular already after only a week of being open.

Here is the lobby.  Still needs some work.

Looks like they have a water leak in the lobby ceiling.  They will have to get that fixed.

Looking into the restaurant.

Now for a little story:

"How are you guys doing over here?" (Waitress)

"Just fine."  (Chris)

"Mommy, I need something to drink."  (Jolisa)

"After you eat some of your food, we will get you a drink."  (Kara)

Dad, half owner of Asian Buffet, is checking out the buffet.  

Note:  This buffet will feature all Chinese/Asian food when I get a chance to make it.  The buffet hood is a plastic cover that came on my take out sushi.  The rope may be changed to metal chains in the future.

"So when is Mr. McGraw arriving?"  (Kara)

"I have to pick him up from the airport in two days."  (Chris)

"So how many songs did you write for him?"  (Kara)

"I have about eight so far.  I am hoping to get at least two or three on the new album."  (Chris)

"Daddy are you going to see the planes?" (Jolisa)

"I'm just going to the airport.  I won't be there long."  (Chris)

"Can I go see the planes?"  (Jolisa)

"Not this time, honey.  But I will take you soon."  (Chris)

The Langford sisters are having dinner.  Jacquelyn, the oldest sister, is just back from vacationing in Egypt.

Note:  This is Jacquelyn, not to be confused with Jackie, who owns the bridal shop.   There are also two Dominique's.  This one was named first.  The other Dominique arrived with her name, and it was so perfect, I didn't change it.  As in real towns there are often people with the same/similar names.

"Okay Dad, I will be back tomorrow to do the books.  Everything has gone pretty smooth this week."  (Daughter)

"Okay.  We need to keep the advertising going strong."  (Dad)

"I know. I've also starting planning a family gathering here to celebrate the restaurant opening."  (Daughter) 

"So honey, I have gotten quite a few new sponsors for my upcoming charity event."  (Mrs. Anderson)

"That's great honey.  When is the event again?"  (Dr. Anderson, local dentist)

"I swear honey, I don't think you ever listen to me.  I have told you at least ten times when the event is."  (Mrs. Anderson)

"I'm sorry.  I just have a lot on my mind."  (Dr. Anderson)

"So what's going on with you and Kevin?"  (Jackie)

"We are doing much better.  Mom and Dad don't know this yet, but he has moved in with me and Courtney."  (Grace)

"So is there any talk about getting married, or are you guys still unsure of the relationship."  (Jackie)

"Believe it or not, he is the one talking about it.  I just need to be sure."  (Grace)

"Dillon, finish up, hon.  We need to scoot soon."  (Mrs. Anderson)

"I'm finished.  I'm stuffed."  (Dillon)

"How many?"  (Waitress)

"Just two."  (Cassandra)

"Right this way."  (Waitress)

"Well dinner is on me.  We have to get together again soon.  I missed you guys."  (Jackie)

"Thanks for dinner."  (Grace and Dominique)

"You know we need to have one of our old fashioned pajama parties.  Remember those?  They were so much fun."  (Dominique)

"I'm sure that can be arranged.  Give me time to recoup from my vacation."  (Jackie)

"Hello sir.  How many?"  (Waitress)

"We have six."  (Rod)

"Okay.  We have about a ten minute wait."  (Waitress)

"No problem."  (Rod)

This is setting us up for the next video with the new Taylor family and Nicole going home to Melanie.  Stay tuned!

Today's Mission: Find Halle Berry a Man!

Yesterday, I read a post from Black Doll Collector's new blog, BDC-Dolls For Sale.  It said WorldPeaceKeepers were spotted at Big Lots!  I haven't seen a WPK doll in any store in more than 6 yrs, so I knew I would be headed to Big Lots today.  I was hoping to find my Halle Berry doll a boyfriend.  I was hoping to find a couple of the AA men that I don't have in my collection, but I was also willing to buy any and all cute guys regardless of race. 

I knew of two Big Lots near my home, so I hit those first. The first one only had three Caucausian men.  On to the next store. They had the same three, plus two more Caucausian men.  I decided I better get one.  I thought he would be a good fit for Halle. When I got in the car, I pulled out my GPS and punched in Big Lots.  On to the next one.  The third one had lots of little WorldKeeper stuff, but no action figures.  I was bummed.  Back in the car.  Punched in Big Lots.  On to the next one.  This one had four of the same ones I had seen previously.  I have to say that each time I didn't see any that I wanted to buy I felt a sense of relief because I have already spent my doll budget until I sell some more furniture.  But for some reason I couldn't stop.  I kept thinking, somewhere out there are the two guys that I really want to add to my collection.  By this time I am thinking that this is how a drug addict probably feels.  Back in the car.  Punched in Big Lots.  On to the next one.  I found myself in areas that I didn't even know existed.  Luckily I didn't have a full tank of gas.  Do you know how many Big Lots there are in the Atlanta area?  Too many!  I stopped at Big Lots #6, but only because I could feel my body was wearing out.

So I introduced the new guy to Halle.  His name is Raphael, Rafie for short.  Halle gave me a look that said, "What do you want me to do with this?"  She was cordial to him but it was clear that she was not feeling him in the least bit.  He pulled me to the side and told me that she really wasn't his type.  How can Halle not be his type?  He then told me he saw another lady that he wouldn't mind meeting.

It was Jacquelyn.  Initially, Jacquelyn told me she wasn't interested.  Something about "he's not my type".  By this time I was ready to scream and say, "You are vinyl.  You don't have a type!"  I convinced her to at least take advantage of the free dinner.  This was them after the dinner, which seemed to last forever.  As they say, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Oh, she wanted to make it clear that they are NOT a couple.  She said she wouldn't mind going out on another date with him because they had a good time, but she didn't want anyone getting any ideas about her relationship status.  She is still available for Mr. Right. Personally, I think she has committment issues, but I thought it best not to bring those up.  Maybe after I find the psychiatrist.

Animal Attraction and Apple Green Plaid

Don't be confused.  They are just the names of my two latest furniture pieces.  I have more coming, but I have to take a station break to work on a commission or two.  Both pieces are listed in my Etsy shop.

This is one of my favorite fabrics.  It is so soft. I made a chair from this fabric about 4 years ago.  I didn't have a lot of fabric to begin with, but I was able to get an accent chair and ottoman out of what I had left.  If I look at it too long, I may be unlisting it and putting it in someone's house downstairs. LOL.

Look who I found.  Jacquelyn Langford.  Poor child hasn't had any camera time lately.  If you look closely, you can see the scowl on her face.  I sure hope she hasn't been hitting the bottle all this time.  If so, she may need some professional help by now.

The latest sofa is called Apple Plaid.  This sofa makes me smile. 

So happy to see that she is eating cake and drinking tea.  I was getting worried.

The next post should feature food, but it won't.  I have been patiently waiting for new plates to arrive before making any new food.  I sure hope the plates are the right size.  So instead of food, you will probably get the next and last segment of the Labor Day Cookout.
