My weekend with Bea Arthur

Bea Arthur. Best known for her role in the Golden Girls. And also, for her manly, raspy sounding voice.

 Tracey Reid. Best known for her lustrous hair, and being my bestie.

 Well, bestie was a sweetie, and made a trip down to see me on Saturday, but when I opened the door to greet her, she lovingly hacked on me, and talked like a dude.

She kept claiming all weekend "I think it's just allergies" but I suspected it was more. But she was still up for a visit, and I was happy for it! Only one thing I just had to do all weekend though....and that was to call her Bea.

First up was to take Bea to get her some drugs.

 She needed to be drugged up, so we could forge on.

 We had cute hats that needed to be tried on.

 And malls that beckoned our names.

 Of course, we had to try on sunglasses, because we ALWAYS do.

And once again, Bea and I bought matching ones.

 We had lots of pictures of to take.

 And even time outs to play a little Draw Something.

 Check out Bea's drawing. What you think this is??

 But don't let Bea's illness fool you, though she might now be quite herself, when you are not looking she will steal you camera...

 I am not even kidding.

 We did have an early night, we had to get back and root on the CARDS.

 And I needed to take care of Bea. I made her some hot chocolate and loaded her up with cough drops.

 I was hoping after a good nights sleep, she might wake up better on Sunday, but she didn't sleep very well . My mom instinct says she's got an infection going on. We did manage to get up though and go to church and head to a buffet for lunch, because nothing says Baptist girls, like a buffet lunch.

 Of course, our 24 hours went way.too.fast. They always do! But I'm so thankful for a friend that makes an effort to come see me, even when she's not quite herself.

I love you Bea!!!! Get your man voice to the doctor ASAP.
