The Golden Mummy
This statue is actually called The Golden Fisherman. It was standing right along the beach where everyone who drove into town could see it. Most of the locals hated it and called it The Golden Mummy. When I showed my friend Laura (who posted on the post below as busyizzie) she asked me if all of the locals ran up to the statue and hit it with their shoes like the people did to the fallen statue of Saddam Hussein. I told Brad and we both laughed about that comment for two days. I think I am going to plan a Mardi Gras party at the site of the statue, and tell everyone to bring some flip flops to hold a "Thumping of the statue" ceremony. What a great way to celebrate the end of Katrina and a new beginning for the coast.
Thanks for the laugh Laura.

Nancy, I swear that I check your blog about every other day, at least, and I did not see either this one or the last one!! WTH? Anyway, gorgeous art by your sister, and I think you definitely should do a "thumping party". Very cleansing, I'm sure.
I'm so glad that my quirky little idea has lead to something wonderful! I bet if you start spreading the word, there'd be 100's that would come to the shoe slapping party! What fun would that be. Hmmm would that make national news???
Nancy, I think you need to write a poem and title it "Ode to the Golden Fisherman" or Ode to the giant mummy! How about Slap the mummy??? That's my favorite page title! Go for it Nanc!
ROFL.....you two are tooooo much!
