That’s great for Ellyn to get a break; I’m just breaking in a new *cat* which doesn’t even compare. And Frances–well, I’ll just say I’m sorry I never met her. She’d give my aunt Pearl a run for her money. Mothers and daughters: it’s a strange, powerful bond. But I hope Ellyn has a superduper fun time.

I went on a gator hunt once (it might have been crocs), in Manaus, the heart of the Amazon. We (the innocent, hapless tourists) sat in one boat with flashlights while one of the guides (who, in addition to being Very Attractive, was clearly Very Competent at his job) rowed around the lagoon and scooped up (using nets or those wire loopy-type things) three or four reptiles. They weren’t very big–three or four feet long–and he would hold their mouths shut and bring them over so we could oooh and aaahh over them.

Hope your gator hunt is just as fun.

I cannot believe Ellyn is coming to Jackson for the hunt!! Oh my God, y’all will have a BLAST. Hell, I put my # on Leigh to bag the first gator- oh and the second one too for that matter!! HHAHAA! Y’all have fun.

Ya’ll are going to have a blast! I, unfortunately, am caring for my very own Momma, who has become verklempt, with congestive heart failure, out of no where, I might add. I too, would almost go hunt a gator, to get a break from the hospital and such. I have only had a wooden straight backed chair to sit in for two days. I was wishing for some naugahyde just hours ago!!!

OOOOHHH–GLOW IN THE DARK OUTFITS!! We loooove that! Used to go to Mystic Bowling just so we could dress up and paint ourselves up with glow in the dark stuff–can’t bowl worth crap in the LIGHT, let alone in the DARK! As usual, it’s ALL about the OUTFITS.

I think you need a night vision camera to record it all!

Have you ever watched that show “Live and Uncut”?
This sounds like one of them there episodes where folks go and doing something that sounds like a lot of fun or just real exciting (and us viewing public are glad we are sitting in our very own living rooms on the sofa) and we just know something is going to go very wrong but we just gotta watch – like when the shark opened the door of the shark cage that the little guy was in…
Yessireebobtail. That is what I am seeing in my mind’s eye.
News footage at 10.
Y’all need glow in the dark outfits – that what you need. Put enough glow sticks on yourselves and you won’t need a flashlight!
I’m cracking myself up just thinking about y’all.

sigh…….being a GATOR fan myself (GO SEC FOOTBALL) I would love to be a Squealer. It will have to suffice for you to “feel me” too.
When I was a teee tiny little girl, we lived on the St Johns River in Jacksonville Fla. You could SMELL the gators, and Momma would call Some People and they would come and get the Gators.
chomp chomp
do take video!
