Episode Transcript

Mandy Hey, how you doing? Oh We've had quite a couple weeks. I can't wait to hear about yours. I think yours are a lot more fun than mine At one point I had three people and three different hospitals all over the state of Georgia So I'm down to one thank goodness, but she's up in Atlanta So still a lot of draft time ahead of me, but indeed a little better and a little more settled Since we talked I went to the Mulberry 200th and that was delightful Mandy you would have loved the Requiem Night before the rhetoric like William. It was the Mozart Requiem. Oh okay, and They had so the music director at Mulberry is actually the director of the music department at George Southern and So he brought up the southern correct the George Southern like corral or whatever they call their Great, I can't wait to meet it is. Yeah it is. He comes up once during the weekend on Sundays Wow, yeah, so They had the singers From Statesboro, they had the Mercer Center for Strings and some of the orchestra from those groups and then they had these featured four featured singers and It was just Like that many voices In a Sanctuary that was redone in the 60s when there was a fire and purposefully redone for acoustics Yeah, was just this amazing experience So I was really glad that I got to do that and of course to get to be there to celebrate 200 years of I Know right, so it was really really great. So I was glad that I did that it was all really good and then The only other thing we've been doing around here lately is making our own fun as we like to say in South, Georgia we don't have stuff to do we make our own fun and I got a call from one of my members the other day and she She's still working she's 85 years old she's amazing and she said Katie And I said, yes miss die and she said We are taking our furs to summer camp. Would you like to go with us? Well, of course I would and so We loaded up all of our fur coats and I have one of my mama's from the 70s that I can't even wear But she gave it to me a long time ago because you know, she can't wear it. So it's no use to her so she gives it to me and we go up to take our Fur coats to barns furs and making for summer camp because you have to put them in cold storage or you should apparently and I'm having mine made into a vest because I don't fit into it. It's very tiny and so Anyway, I'm gonna do that so I can at least wear it. I'm never gonna buy a new fur, but like I Don't know. So anyway, so we took it took off for our coats to summer camp and it was so fun when to launch You know bill will shop in at the fresh market and came home. So that was fun. I Didn't know you were supposed to put your coat and cold storage. Mm-hmm. They can do for you and then store it for you Over the summer because it does not do well in the heat apparently Okay. Well, there was sister in here to the stole So I better tell her he needs to take her summer camp Yeah, and then last night I got a call from the same two ladies and There's a lot going on With our city government here There's just a lot and It's very entertaining and we don't want to get in the middle of it so we went and sat on miss dies porch and Had some adult beverages and had people texting us they were in the meeting all the updates about You know the block parties that ended in You know gunfire and arrests and they were complaining about the mayor signing off on these block parties and Anyway, it was just wild. So those are the kind of fun things. I've been doing down here and South Georgia life As a Is a Native yeah, I do understand Because what we used to do on Friday nights It's just drive around the parking lot at the Moultrie twin cinema out Across to the snappy sack Why in the world? the owner of the snappy sack did not Call the police To get us to quit driving through his parking lot. I mean that's all and I mean Generations not generations but like yeah from that's what my sister did when she was in high school And she's four years older than me. Yeah, and that's what we did when we were in high school like Years and years and years of these children just driving through the parking lot like why I would never let that happen But I am glad as kravitz yeah, so listen I get it it makes you a a more interesting more creative human being Now, you know kids these days. I mean, let me just really put on my Gladys Kravitz hat Like they don't know what boredom is and I say this as a person who keeps her own phone in her hand hours a day, yep, I would know I would not know what boredom is either but I Think it's good for you. Yeah Well, I don't know down here apparently when they get bored they have a block party and shoot everybody so maybe We didn't you know culture's a little different now. Yeah Yeah, but we kept our shotguns, you know firmly Attached to the back windshield Yeah, so last night we ate appetizers and had Gin and tonic and waited for the incoming texts from the people in the meeting Now tell me what the appetizers were say we went Dianne loves Trader Joe's and she had just been to the one in Athens and so she got their Samosas this little triangle and she made her own little dip with some red curry and horseradish And mayo and sour cream. That was delicious Okay, and then I had been gifted a sour dough loaf of bread for Mother's Day I Don't know why But I was and I was glad to take it and so we cut up some sour dough into little pieces and put goat cheese and herbs on it and Then we had hummus and cucumbers Very nice. Yeah, and now that we have an Aldi we've got all this, you know the hummus is in the dips and the cheeses and so Life is better now that we have the healthy The appetizers are better But I'm I think I may go up to Atlanta next week to see my member if she's still up there in the hospital Heck, I may go even if she's not Why not? Well, there's a Dior exhibit that I want to see so hopefully So I'm gonna grab us some more samosas because we're out and that is not we can't have that apparently That is unacceptable if you go to the Dior exhibit before you go So remember there was a run of Like I feel like there was an Apple TV series Yes Yes two and Should watch that before you go. Yes because they're apparently that was about the or right? Yeah, it was it definitely was Now There are two red scad flash at the museum there are two big rooms and usually there are two exhibits But this time I think there's one big room with all like hundreds of looks old and new so I'm really excited If you're in Atlanta, I think I know I've sat before but that is one of my favorite places if you have any interest in the textile arts or in fashion in any way that Museum does such a good job and you can get so close to those garments and it is just Amazing to look at the craftsmanship side of it that you don't see on you can't look that closely on TV and see how intricate and Involved all this dresses and garments are so I highly recommend but that's it's there. I think through August or September right now. So Go to sky bash if you're in town and then I don't know if you saw the The story on the news Mandy About those angles in Wisconsin. Did you say I did I've seen I didn't say like the origin story I have seen a couple of the dog accounts. I follow. Yeah taken Beagles Reference a large New York In Wisconsin was the largest medical research facility that bred dogs and they bred beagles and It was found that they were very inhumanly treating these animals more than just keeping them in cages all the time one example that really just Makes me angry is that they were doing surgeries on these dogs without anesthesia Yeah, so really bad stuff Why are people like that people are awful and so these animal rescue groups protested and tried to break in to get these animals out and finally This group was shut down and So there were 1500 beagles. They were up for adoption Imagine the noise Right. I know right, but they're so sweet Like I'm sure like Mandy has you've seen if you're on any of the socials you've seen like the pick the videos of them touching grass for the first time playing for the first time so I'm really glad that they've been rescued and apparently they have more applications than they have dogs Even with 1500 of them So I'm glad that they have they will all be put in places that are healthier and better But lord it wasn't it was real tempting to get a beagle last week I was like, oh my gosh, you know, I found that dogs are like tattoos. You get one and you want ten more But I just can't do that. But I mean gosh it was real tempting and then some friends Sent me that and then they sent me a picture of these four little Spaniels that are not too far from me that need homes and I was like stop doing this Because that's Maggie's cousin and I will go get I mean I can't do it but like Holy crap, so Anyway, it was a really good reminder to adopt dogs. There are purebred dogs Everywhere that need adoption. So that is not an excuse That you want a purebred whatever go get a dog. There are plenty out there it was just like the Inhumanity of those beagles in that place like I mean what the hell Mandy Surgery without anesthesia. I don't know how people could do that So anyway, that was my kind of scratch my head moment But then what it's been joyful to see how many people have stepped up You know one of them I will admit out loud You know As I said to a friend of mine the Republicans don't or these MAGA not Republicans The MAGA don't always get it wrong every once in a while. They stumble onto something good and Lara Lara. No, it's not Laura. Lara Trump has really led the charge and stopping medical testing on animals and Help to shut this place down. So Good for them. They stumbled onto something good. So Anyway, I'll just that has been Whoo, yeah, I just it's been on my heart a lot lately and I just can't get any more dogs, but I want to But funny I don't I don't I know I know I know well, what have you been up to Mandy Well speaking of the dogs. Yeah Miss mercy Is We're leaving early in the morning To go to Atlanta and he was going with because about Ten days two weeks ago Betsy called me. She had just sent a home visit for a lady indicator Okay, I've previously adopted but it had been like ten years and she had moved and so I had to get new home study home visit and She was like, I think this may be a good match for mercy So the lady already had shit she had two ones Lulu passed away, but she still has axle. Okay, it's like 13 or 14 And he also likes to bark Okay, he is also on the hydrolyzed protein diet. Oh, he's already the crazy expensive food Look at that Right. So our only concern is you know, the two barkers whether or not they can get along and ask the Boarding facility because they've seen mercy interact with other dogs a whole lot more than I have and she's like Oh, I think she'll be totally fine. Totally fine So where she's gonna I'm dropping her off tomorrow afternoon and the hope is that will be it Hopefully she will make it work But we shall see if it blows up then I'll pick her up when I come home On Sunday, but we'll see of course in the meantime, you know We were having she was her stomach was totally upset from her med and so we finally Just sort of went AMA and quit giving her the antibiotic that she had been on for Four months or whatever. Yes, and that was about I was well almost two months ago six weeks ago and She's been doing fine. And then of course all of a sudden this week She's got like two spots on her elbows and I'm like, oh crap Yesterday morning she woke me up. I was letting her sleep in the bed because I didn't want her licking her elbows. Yeah and She woke me up at like 445 doing the to and fro Which is what we in the Caldwell household call it when they start to vomit. Yep so I Was like just we got to keep it together girl. We got to keep it together We have a very good opportunity for you coming up. Let's keep it together mercy. Come on So Well, I mean here's hoping here's how exactly Fingers crossed the woman's already text. I mean referring to herself as mercy's mother. Okay? Hey, listen, I'm feeling good about it feeling good about it. Well, she can relax and Settle in and yeah, cuz Susie came over last week. Her floors are being replaced and So she and Gracie came over and you know, I just like I don't have a lot of company and Would Susie and Gracie got here I was keeping mercy on the leash and mercy just she just y'all it Just comes out of her bar bar bar and then yeah allowed and if you don't know it's not aggressive It is very disconcerting It's so I Want Susie and Gracie had left I called Betsy and I was like, okay, let's let's game plan this because that's a lot That's a lot But so Betsy's gonna come meet us too. So that's gonna be good. So there'll be three of us they're figuring it all out Fingers crossed. Yeah Yeah, she has sweet she had an ear infection And so we had to get to the vet here and she did much better than she did the last time So we have made improvements. Yeah Hopefully that will go well, but yeah going to Go into Atlanta to see some Braves games. That was good From my brother-in-law they're playing the Cubs. Oh So in his typical loose fashion he he bought tickets for the the Cubs Braves game Because he knew that's what my sister and me would want to see That's so sweet. Yeah, very nice And it just so happens y'all. Let's just talk about some baseball for a minute The Braves are playing really well, right? I'm Crossing my fingers. We got a knock on something like we don't I'm surprised you said that out loud it just It just like it just keeps happening. Yeah, it just they did lose their first series. So they just were on a long West Coast road trip played the Diamondbacks the Mariners and the Dodgers And they did lose a series to the Mariners So that was their first series they have lost but Other than that, they took the series from the Dodgers. I Mean they lost the first game, but then they came back and won the net. They lost the Chris sale game The one the other two games like I don't know what's happening Our bats are hot our bats are hot. That's what's happening Ronald Okunha has injured his hamstring and we have continued to win even with him out Michael Harris the second injured his hamstring He never went on the aisle though, but he was not playing center field He was just DH and then he started in left field and now he's finally back in San Francisco But I mean he's continued to hit Ozzy is hitting the cover off the baseball Matt Olson is having an MVP year so far like It's just and then the guys like Mauricio Duvon who yeah who had ever heard of him before this year He we had traded for him if he was a free agent I think I can't remember anyway, we got him in the offseason and he was like sort of a utility guy Play shortstop which ended up being great when our shortstop who we had also just signed For like 20 million dollars He fell on some ice and cut his hand Hassan Kim So we were glad to have Duvon. Well turns out Duvon's been hitting the cover off the ball, too. Like it's just It's lining up perfectly instead of going the other way which it has before like everybody gets injured and we can't Get a hit to save our lives Yeah, I have the best record of baseball yeah, so I mean meanwhile the Cubs Have just had their second 10-game winning streak You're gonna watch some really good baseball this week, right? So listen, are you gonna pull for the Braves? Okay, that's what I figured but But also freaking loving and hot freaking love Nico Hoerter like there's a bunch of guys on the Cubs now who I love a lot too But yeah Braves Braves win So anyway and the Cub Ironically what has happened with the Cubs is they look a lot like the Braves like the Braves lost all their pitchers In spring training the Cubs lost all their pitchers in like the first six weeks of the season Their latest guy they're they're Chris sale who's not nearly as good as Chris sale, but he's like the veteran Guy who can like go out and give you some innings and had the year of his life last year He tore his meniscus as he was playing with his children at his home. I mean But yet the Cubs have only won one less game than the Braves Like they have the second best record in baseball. Yeah So it's just I'm not sure what's happening, but I'm reminded of 2023 When the Braves just that they had that record Yeah setting offensive year and Kelly just kept saying enjoy the ride. Just enjoy the ride because I'm so superstitious I was like we're giving up all our wins. We need to save some wins for the offseason. We're taking too many wins Which I was right and Kelly was wrong, but she was right to tell me to just enjoy the ride So I'm trying and hoping we save some wins Right We don't need to pick too soon We've done that before anyway That's baseball Which is exciting not sure the mani boys are even going to make it into the postseason for the first time in 19 oh Baby she just fell off the sofa. Oh Are you okay, sweet girl? Okay, we're all right. Okay, we're good. Okay. Oh Happens without being a cannonball. Yeah. So anyway, baby boys are Probably not gonna make it and meanwhile Auburn is killing it right right if everything stops you derby. Yeah But I will say also just another baseball news Tony Vitella Continues to suck good. We love to see it. Love to see it. Love to be it Speaking of Knoxville, we went to a wedding In Asheville, but so I drove to Nashville to pick up my sister Who was my plus one for the wedding and then we drove to Asheville? Which required going through not very not like all of a sudden my sister is just shooting a bird and I'm like What happened? What are you doing? Yeah, it was just towards the University of Tennessee there was But we stopped now this is your PSA because I don't know that a lot of people know about this place There used to be one in Nashville But it started in Knoxville and there are several locations in Knoxville. It is called ham in goodies ham and goodies Okay, if you're in Knoxville y'all I cannot recommend it enough Their lemon cookies are famous Their tea cakes are also delightful my personal favorite favorite is their strawberry cake Mmm, just a random choice But the icing on that strawberry cake is just and then they also make great black bean soup They make they have a sandwich called the Cisco, which is like our favorite sandwich My sister worked there in college and so listen, we are well acquainted with everything But it we miss it so much in Nashville. It was replaced by Ted's Montana grill. Oh rest in peace Ted Turner Teddy I think I think I think there's a Chipotle. Okay. It's in the same parking lot with the Ted's Montana grill Anyway, uh, we miss him and getting so much but so we got to stop at him and goodies I will also say if you're driving from Nashville to Asheville Add in pad your trip with an extra hour Because I 40 is still Gone, like I 40 East is gone Wow, and so it's two lanes for a good long while and When we were going it popped us off on a little side road Well that even the side road like has a bridge washed out at a certain point So there's only one line to cover that bridge. So we sat in traffic for 45 minutes on the side right? Like it's just It take just add an hour to whatever it says So we were a little late to the rehearsal dinner Or it wasn't a rehearsal dinner. It was just a welcome party. There was fine, but we were late But it was all sort of out and okay, it's spelled L E I C E S T E R But it's pronounced Lester apparently because North Carolina does things like we do. Yeah, I was about to say welcome down So yeah pronounce it however you want. Yeah, so we stayed in Asheville, but the wedding was in the Welcome dinner. We're in Lester, North Carolina Which way from Asheville is that girl? I don't know. Okay Don't ask me directions. I've never asking actions. You're in a world of hurt GPS got it. I will say we were saying very close to the river Okay, if that helps and love Asheville and it was on the the Lester was on like that side of that side Okay of town. Um But yeah, so we were on an alpaca farm the first night there were alpaca and and llamas over that we could go visit and I intended to and then I got Stopped and talked to somebody and then they were doing toasts. So and Then we did we went around Asheville on Saturday Julie's really good friend Lonnie who used to work at her clinic retired to Asheville several years ago And so he is a great tour guide And he we met him for brunch and then he walked us around Asheville for a couple hours. So that was super fun Yeah, and then we went to the wedding which was at a different place in Lester No alpacas at the wedding, but it was super fun. It was a friend from law school and so She was two years behind me In law school, but So there were some making folks there, which was fine And then a lot of people I had met, you know over the years. I will say there was a guy there one of her friends husband from Greenville and The first time I ever met this man He says to me You live in Florida. Why are you so pale and I said well, you know, I work really hard To stay this because I'd rather not die from skin cancer. May I ask you why are you so bald? So, you know, it was good to see him again. Yeah But you know other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? It was a beautiful wedding and I'm very glad for my friend who has wanted to be married for a very long time And so I'm glad that that has finally happened for her. She seems very happy So that was super fun. That was a fun weekend And then other than that, we've just you know Been here. Yeah, I Was really sick again with snot But it's better So here we are. I love it You telling that story about making lawyers reminded me. I don't know if you've seen the news on this one I thought this was really funny A Macon lawyer was arrested the other day For drug trafficking and this is what he was doing. So here's an idea for you he was soaking the his clients paperwork that he was taking into the jails and liquid marijuana and Taking them to his clients in jail and then they would eat the paper and get high I Just feel like there's easier ways to make money. I just there's just got to be easier ways to make money, right? What he's now in jail next to his clients Without bot. There you go. Maybe somebody will bring him some marijuana paper. Yeah And he is he's older than we are. I don't know you probably wouldn't know him I think you would have missed him in law school But anyway, it's it's wild out there in this world people trying to make extra gas money, I guess Listen I Couldn't think of that in the first place Right, whatever Whatever Well, we're glad you're back. We're glad you're doing well and had a good time and Asheville, which is one of my favorite cities. I Have been Reading a lot. And so I have tell us about several book recommendations. I have the first one is My spicy book series it has come to an end this Series that Liz Tomford has written it's called in her own league and it's the last in the series Highly recommend the whole thing. They're quick easy reads summer good summer beach reads So that was a good one Along with the new Abby Jimenez the night we met It was a little anxiety inducing because it's about a love triangle and hers. You're not normally about a love triangle So I was like, please don't pick the wrong one Cuz we're clearly a wrong one in our right one But it's really good very very good I read the new quick Kate Quinn the astral library. It is very different From everything else she's ever written it is not historical fiction. It is fantasy In the best way. So the secret library is available for people when they need a place to go if they are in an emergency kind of situation in life that the astral library appears to you and You can go hide in a book and it's really really interesting The other thing that's really funny is that there are all these ghosts in the astral library and they're stuck there So they can finish their TBR stacks There are all these ghosts and they're finishing all their books that they never finished in life It cracks me up so it's a really good it's just very very different I'm not normally a fantasy reader, but I enjoyed it very much. So and Kate Quinn's a great writer. So Recommend that one and then the one I'm reading right now, I'm a little late to the party and you may have read this one I don't remember But Frederick Bachman who wrote the man from is the book is called the man from of Ove but the movie is called the man from Otto and it stars Tom Hanks and it's a very sad book or movie, but it's great and so This new book was recommended To me it's called my friends and it's about an artist and it is Really really good so far. So that's the one I'm currently reading and I recommend so There's some good summer reads for ya Listen I checked out two books from the library, you know back in February because I don't know if anyone remembers My goal is to read real books this year. Yes. I never took them out of my car They're still in the back seat of my car girl and now I'm like I'm not returning them until I read them Yeah But but I think it's gonna necessitate me getting them out of the back seat of my car. That's a good first ever eat them Or they will be on your TBR stack when you're a ghost and I'll be a ghost They are I just thought that was you know, it was just a funny nod to all of us have a huge TBR But we're gonna be stuck as a ghost in the astral library till we finish our stack of books Did you ever read You know me in remembering books, I think it was Midnight Library, no It's sort of if I'm remembering correctly, yeah, which I should double check it sort of has that same sort of Fantasy going into a book sort of feel yeah as I recall which was very interesting It is very interesting and I like you know The idea that books are a safe place and that's kind of the underlying theme The books are a safe place for you when the world is not so I thought it was really really good So Mandy tell us about your Your favorites, I'm Really interested in that first one, especially I'm adding it So the first one is a podcast it is called love trapped If you are a member of bachelor nation I think you would be especially interested in this because it all sort of kicks off with a former That maybe bachelorette and bachelor he was definitely the bachelor his name is Clayton he remembers last name and I started it peter my interest because at first I thought he was the guy that was on traders Who was a former bachelor who has since come out as gay, but that's not this is a different guy Okay, I was apparently very hated amongst bachelor fans. Okay Because he admitted to having sex with both people who were in the final two Shocked I say I know right so he was coming off of that and sort of had a horrible reputation and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and was starting his real estate career and a woman reached out to him because she wanted to look at some property and then she Like started flirting with him via text and he finally invited her over one night and They had oral sex They did not have penetrative sex, but lo and behold several weeks later She sends him a picture of a positive pregnancy test and thus kicks off the saga of Laura Owens and Y'all the journey That we take on this podcast Is fascinating it's sad it is there obviously some mental health issues here But it Follows in investigating this one case it just Explodes so anyway, it was it was riveting It is I think they've released the last episode last week so it is complete at this point So highly recommend love trapped The next thing I have previously talked about I ordered Like some shorts and a top in the same material And I liked him so much that I went back and have now ordered a pair of these pants It's they're from Old Navy and they're the like gauze material And They are so comfy. I have not worn them out in public yet, but I have tried them on and They're just gonna be great for summer because they're like that not touchy sort of fabric For summer and say listen, I'm here for that I will say that I also got the little like Spaghetti strap top to go with them and when I first tried it on I tried it on backwards Which the ties in the back and so I was like, I don't believe this is what I was going for and then I realized It was on backwards. So that was better but that was the day Susie and Gracie were here and Susie has now become the queen of nagging And she's like, well, maybe you should get a different color and I said why and she said well just because you're so pale Once again, I was about to say to maintain yeah paleness So you can all kiss I mean you can see my big ugly hat is what I walk in every day to key and it's got a son the Fabric is you know SPF blah blah blah, so I don't Get burnt just walking around the campground when I went to the field trip Montgomery was having a hot snap and And I decided not I was like well, I'm not wearing shorts and so I have these little linen overall since I wore my overalls But the number and part of it was because my legs are so pale and the number of women On that trip who were proudly showing their pale legs Inspired me and now I don't care Listen just what is here pale and proud the next thing is Some tinted moisturizer with SPF love it. You know, it's from notarium, which is I think I've previously Had their some cream that they have as a favorite And I was reordering that and getting my sister some of that for her birthday and I saw this and thought well I'm gonna try that You know because some days you don't want to You still need some coverage, but you don't want to like do a full face and so this has been great I love the consistency. I love the Color. I love the fact they have a little more SPF because listen Pale is the goal the more the merrier. Yeah, so Like that and then the last thing is what I went I did a quick run to Trader Joe's when I was leaving Nashville and and I got the sparkling lemonade And they're smaller cans. They're not like a you know, where all the sparkling waters are It's like wouldn't they do those little boxes of four? Okay It's with those but I just feel like this is going to be So versatile for the summer. I'm excited to try them. I mean it'll go with vodka. It'll go with gin It'll go with tequila, right? It's great by itself without anything. I also bought You know, I can't I can't always find my favorite summer wine from Trader Joe's which is the Contendino's Vodka Because it's like a pinot grigio that has just a little bit of sparkle to it And so I couldn't find that but they had it was a wine It was a white wine and it was in one of those bottles remember how coke bottles were when we were little and they had that like To keep it fizzy.
