Our original &#8220;Life is Good&#8221; t-shirt that &#8220;The Good Kim&#8221; gave us last fall, is short sleeved and more of a warm season attire.  Here&#8217;s a picture of our winter Friday fashion attire:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/img_3444-01.jpg\" title=\"img_3444-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/img_3444-01.jpg\" alt=\"img_3444-01.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More celebrating called for!!  &#8220;Ace&#8221; submitted a play for this summer&#8217;s Theater Conference in Valdez and it was accepted!  The rest of us rallied had one of our Friday morning &#8220;LLL&#8221; breakfasts complete with lattes, and one of &#8220;The Good Kim&#8217;s&#8221; quiches. There were sprinkle lights flashing, a new rendition of &#8220;Sand Man&#8221; to sing, we  presented Ace with a Tony Award, and had the opera glasses out to practice using in preparation for the summer&#8217;s event.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/tony-01.jpg\" title=\"tony-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/tony-01.jpg\" alt=\"tony-01.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/operaglasses-01.jpg\" title=\"operaglasses-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/operaglasses-01.jpg\" alt=\"operaglasses-01.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">One last LLL story to share.  I was unable to attend a suprise 50th Birthday party for &#8220;The Good Kim&#8221; thrown at the Pipeline Club by her husband Joe.  But the LLL had a theme lined up.  Seems our &#8220;Good Kim&#8221; somehow got mixed up in the astronaut&#8217;s love triangle, (unbeknownced to all of us).  We prepared her for the next time she needed to do battle against another rival by supplying her that evening with NASA uniform, a large container of tang, duct tape, and of course a diaper for those long drives.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So here&#8217;s the rest of the story&#8230;. To celebrate spring break, last Tuesday night the Latte Ladies met up at Ace&#8217;s for  appetizers and a celebratory bottle of champagne.  &#8220;The Bad Kim&#8221;,  Ace, and I had no more than toasted with a glass of champagne when we noticed coming up the driveway, our very own &#8220;Good Kim&#8221; Astronaut in a BAD way!!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/nasa1-01.jpg\" title=\"nasa1-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/nasa1-01.jpg\" alt=\"nasa1-01.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">I wouldn&#8217;t want to mess with her either!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/nasa-01.jpg\" title=\"nasa-01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/mom\/files\/2007\/03\/nasa-01.jpg\" alt=\"nasa-01.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The remainder of the evening was especially fun because Judith gave us each parts and we read her play.
