June 11, 2014. Ridgeland, Ms. Group Pedicure.

Our group pedicures were a great success. All five of us sitting in a row being attended to by ladies making our feet beautiful was a sight for sore eyes. Yesterday when we were planning our excursion, Molly, who is 6, said she did not want to have people fiddling with her feet. We said fine. You can still have your nails painted, so she was happy. But this morning, after she saw all four of us sitting in the big fancy chairs, she changed her mind and came over to ask me if she could have a pedicure with everyone else. So she sat up in the big chair and soaked her feet in the warm water and waited. She stayed quiet as a mouse when they working on her feet. No complaints and no giggles. The rest of us luxuriated in the foot massage. It has been awhile since we had our nails together and we have never included Christina and Molly. But today it was ‘all in together girls’ kind of a day. Our custom after a pedicure is to have lunch together, so Ken joined us for lunch at Shuckers. It is very like a Texas honkey tonk, except it is Mississippi. They serve fish and oysters and chicken. Ken and I have dined there several times as it is close to the condo but the girls had never been there, which is why Ken suggested the restaurant. We six sat at a high round table and ate their delicious food. Molly ate fried oysters! The table was so high that Kate could not touch the floor, which had not happened to her for years. Our group pedicure and group lunch were a resounding success.
