Unexpected plans have me up and excited early this morning

Last night I am on the all mighty facebook when I read a comment

on little Miki's wall to the effect that he is going

to the swamp with his girl to stay with his momma.

What? A swamp trip planned without Auntie Lil knowing?

Hmmm wonder if this was not done on purpose to keep me

away from the Sayra....

Oh no, this will just not do.

Right away I begin assuring that I will not only see

my nephew but the woman he is now calling his "baby"

I have been wanting to meet this Sayra since I have found out

about her and because they have now stepped up the relationship

to a live-in status, well time for some Auntie Lil loving.

So today I am up bright and early at 5am because

I am going to cook for my company.

White beans, fried fish and booyee cake for dessert.

If you are in the area, stop in.

Rosie is going to go and pick up the Mumsie for the

added bonus. Amazing how things like this pump me up.

I tell Lil Miki and Rosie to prepare this poor girl

for me... Hope they did.

My intentions? Put some food in her belly and then

find out all I need to about this woman who is so special to Miki.

After many tries and much struggle in his life,

I believe that lil Miki finally has his best chance for a happy life.

Funny how sobriety and a good, clean life are the key to finding

all the good things you have longed for in your years of living.

I always put my faith in good people.

No matter what type of trouble my little nephew has found himself in,

he always, always had the desire to "do it right".

It just didn't come as easily for him as it does for most.

I want to be a part of this newly found chance he has worked hard

to get. Can't wait to spread my words of advice to both of them...

It's going to be a good day in the Riera home...

but first, first, there is a garage sale I am just dying to get

my booty to...
