Why I Don't Have to Make Up Characters

So people who've read my book always say "you have the funniest characters. How do you make them up?" Simple answer, I don't. Check out this photo of my cousin Leslie and her husband, Charles. Could be a Maylene Thibodeaux in the making???



I warned Leslie that if she sent photos, they became my property and might wind up on my blog. I guess I'll be nice enough to tell you they're dressed for a Halloween party.

At least, I'm pretty sure they are...........

lainey - yes on the gun rack, no on the moose - but probably a deer head and a mounted duck or two. I'll have to check on the pit bull.

kimber - run, woman, run. :)

tori - the twins are everywhere.....scary, huh?

Colleen - hey, I warned her. And don't worry, anything done at National, stays at National. :)

Bwahahaaaa!!! That means I've got LOTS of leeway...and next year it's in Dallas. Wooohooo!!!

BTW, is that photo of your cousin for real, or is that a Halloween costume?

sis - you gotta love family! :)

lol Cari - I feel the same way in the morning. And don't worry about the picture privileges - you have that one of me that you can always barter with.

lainey - my mom left me a message yesterday that she'd read my blog and the picture of her niece was funny enough, but when she read your comment, she laughed so hard she cried. (I'm pretty sure we know those people you were describing)
