The Countess Place, Morgan Freeman, and Shrimp and Grits

Okay. first of all this is going to be a lonnnnnng blog.  Besides one of my favorite actors living in Mississippi, I'm here visiting Cindoo at The Countess Place, her home and getting to do all the fun things that a proper "countess" would get to do.

Like hob nob have dinner (a wonderful one I might add)

with this perfectly delightful man.

Recognize him?

I was totally "giddy"
before I go any further, you will love this.  In the middle of dinner, Callen called freaked out because a tornado was going straight for her house.  I said "here talk to Morgan Freeman, he'll tell you what to do"

So, Morgan gets on the phone and says "Callen, you're going to be okay (in that oh so distinguished, delicious voice of his) and you know what? 

She thought he was the "AllState" man saying "it's okay, we're here to help you"

oh my gosh, she is so much like me it's scary

I said later, Callen, let's try The Shawshank Redemption, um, March of the Penguins, God himself????

okay, here he is enjoying a slew full of beautiful girls!

Just Morgie and the gals (we were in heaven)

(I kinda think he was too!!!)

a wonderful, relaxed, humble man, who made our amazing dinner so fun!

Thank you Morgan!
