My cousin, Arnold and Nancy went on an island cruise and won quite a few fun goodies while on board.
They even got to be on a radio show with island talk show hosts Perry and Price. It was fun to get daily email updates on their week long adventure.
On another night they won a bottle of champagne. They don't drink so they offered it to us when they returned.
Mom always boasts that her family has a very strong constitution and can easily hold their liquor. She and her siblings have proved that to us on a number of occasions.
She and I have a small glass of wine every other night. It's actually watered down with 2/3 carbonated water.
Well... once we opened that bottle of champagne, we figured we needed to finish it off because it would lose its fizz.
Art, Mom and I managed to drink 2 small glasses of champagne. But whoa.... it was much stronger than what we were used to.
I got really, really woozy before I even finished the second glass. Mom got giggly and started laughing at what we were saying. We were having a special pizza night to celebrate a family happening.
Art fell asleep in his chair at 8:30 and it took me a couple of hours for my head to clear.
Mom? A few hours later, she was still smiling and still very pleased with everything around her.
Actually, she was still laughing about it the following morning.

Well, that was far more exciting that you expected. :)
ReplyDeleteYour mum is an amazing woman in the good shape
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Got a kick out of this!
ReplyDeleteAunty H must have, as they say, a wooden leg! My father and brother were like that, too.
ReplyDeleteUh, Lorna, did you forget to mention yourself? Very cute blog. You go, Aunty H! Holly
DeleteOh ho! Lorna too, hunh? You and mom could have sake together. :- )
DeleteI don't know why, but champagne hits me hard, makes me tired and often gives me a hangover. Hope you are all feeling better today!
ReplyDeleteYour mom rocks! Champagne put me under the table fifty years ago, and I haven't touched it since.
ReplyDeleteI simply LOVE that picture of your mom, looking like the picture of health, even if a teeny bit inebriated! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour mom eats pizza with a knife and fork, what manners. Geez Larry Price has really really aged, he looks like he shrank. I watched/listened when they were in the prime of their life and alas, I've aged along too. BB
ReplyDeleteShe normally eats everything else with chopsticks, but this was special. Hard to eat pizza with chopsticks. :- ) I don't know Perry and Price well because I'm afraid we only listen to PBS. I do see one of them in commercials all the time though.
DeleteGood for her!!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is such a delightful trip. No hangover?? Way to go.
ReplyDeleteHow cute. She is such a dear woman. We all love her. (We love you and Art too!)
ReplyDeleteSurprise! Surprise!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys all had fun with that champagne, lol.
ReplyDeleteAll good!
ReplyDeleteYou left me laughing with this post!
ReplyDeletenot all drinks are created equal
ReplyDeleteYou guys are supposed to be looking after your mom. It looks like she can hold her liquor better than any of you. LOL
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteYour mom is a rock star! You too, woozy lady. LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is so beautiful and her smile lights up the room. Happy juice huh?
ReplyDeleteThose of us who don't drink much or very often really need to watch out for the "buz"!
ReplyDeletehow funny!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading this and am still smiling alone imagining the three of you..once in a while such situations are good..
ReplyDeleteIf you do not drink any amount regularly it will impact you big time. Hope you did not get a headache or dehydrated the next day. I could help you with that champagne.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wish that I could drink - I have a family gene that makes me all flush with a rapid heartbeat so I am no fun at bar hopping or champagne swigging. Sweet night!
ReplyDeleteThat's called Asian Flush. You can google it. It's probably better not to drink much if you have it. Art definitely has the same condition. Neither my brother nor I have it. We must take after my mother in that regard.
Deletewhat a bunch of boozers!!! hahaha...bet it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThis gave me a chuckle and I can relate. The last time I drank champagne was at our friends house in England. I got extra giggly afterwards!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha. She is so charming! Love her smile!
