Mark's birthday and The illusive Sticky!

Our last full day in North Carolina, we hope. It started off great. Sherry suggested we just go to Bojangles and have breakfast. While we sat there lo and behold who walks in but Sticky. Now i know it is hard to believe I haven't seen Sticky since before I published the book 'Sticky'. I met him with a big hug, he said, "Man you made a celebrity out of me!"
I said, "Man youwere a celebrity long before I wrote the book." He grabbed his link sausage biscuit and tea and came over to sit with us. Sherry had never met Sticky. We had the best conversation. Stick is a very conversive man. Always a smile, even in this picture, he is missing the big smile, but that pleasant look is always there. Thye economy is bad for him also, the worst in 40years. He related a quick story from yesterday. He was in one of the larger local business and he said the owner called him aside, "Could you come into my office Sticky?"
Inside he asked,"How do you stay to jovial, I know business is bad, but you always have a smile. How do you do it?"
Stick said, "I told him I found out a long time ago if I smile the world smiles, If I frown, it frowns. I LIKE SMILES!"
We said good bye with a promise he would not be so illusive and he would introduce me to his sweet wife, Josephine, the nest time we were in town.


Now below, you see MJ, She is waiting patiently for Sherry to finish Mark's Birthday dinner.

I am sorry, Sherry had a beautiful layout. Mac/cheese, green beans, Mashed potatoes & gravy, fried chicken, salad and this is the only picture I got, the left overs.

She made a Red Waldorf (sheet) cake, Mark's favorite. He is 48 this month.

Mark left with Reececup.

PS: We are getting a heavy downpour. This motor home is not in a great place to pull out of. Hoping that when she starts to back up she does not slide and force me to hook a tractor to her to assist her in backing out. Will let you know tomorrow.
