Lunch With Ryan

I had one day after Sissy's funeral to spend in Utah.

On top of the list is to always see Ryan.

Ryan is the Sweetheart's first cousin.

Ryan loves me and I love him.

I think I have spoiled him.

Usually when I go to S.L.C. I stay with his family in Sandy.

Aunt Betsy and Uncle Val Farnsworth are his parents.

Betsy and Dad Griffis are brother and sister.

This time I stay at the hotel with my family.

Back to spoiling Ryan, he loves the University of Georgia Bulldogs.

When I go out I always take him a new t-shirt.

I showed up at his house to take him to lunch

and he was so excited to see me!

I mean, he really gets excited and loud.

I love it! I tend to get excited and loud too.

Well, after we got calmed down a little bit

he wanted to know if I brought him anything.

Okay, I nearly died, I forgot! I was just trying to get to Utah

for a funeral and completely forgot to bring him anything.

I throw my arms out and say, "I am your surprise, this time"!

He wasn't to excited, he'd rather have a shirt.

I can't blame him, I'd rather have a shirt too.

I promised to mail him one for his birthday, Feb. 7th.

Well, we hurried him along so that we could get to lunch .

As we get out to the car and before he gets in he says,

"Gig, I've got a surprise for you."

"Okay, what is it Ryan?"

He whips this CD out of his pocket!!

"It's Patsy!"

Oh my gosh! How could I forget Patsy!

We both love us some Patsy Cline.

One summer Ryan rode with me to Bear Lake

and we listened to Patsy for 3 hours straight.

I know every word!

But this day he only wanted to listen to the first song,

"Walking After Midnight", over and over and over.

I asked him where we were having lunch?

Trying to see if we could try a new place.

I should have known better because some things never change.

N.E.V.E.R.!

For which, I am forever thankful.

It's always Wendy's!!
