AND it is the Annual Red Neck Party at Tomo and Shelah's house! Best fun ever!!! You never know what someone will show up wearing! Thrift stores and Walmart are prominently on display!
Last year, Ava and her Mimi (Lori) had just arrived for a visit...we channeled our red-neck inner-selves and ended up looking like this:
This year, we did it again! With a new twist of course!
It really was the best of all worlds: the weather was gorgeous, the atmosphere was perfect, and the company was fun, and the costumes clever and hysterical...
We really did have a great-grandmother who dressed just like this:
Granny and her house dress...wish you could see her bright white sneakers!

Great post Mary! It's funny, I didn't notice Mike wore like 5 different outfits. How funny! I did notice the hot pink jacket though. In the sun that thing is hard to miss. Love the pictures!
