So...today we're headed to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for Chris (H.C. Porter)'s Gulf Coast premiere of Backyards & Beyond, a traveling exhibition she and Karole have spent three years building. It's all about the resiliency of Mississippians after Hurricane Katrina. At the risk of sounding like Alanis Morissette in that stupid, incorrect song...I mean, isn't it? We haven't had TV all month (it's a whole different blog coming soon) and now that we do, it's a flashback to three years ago.
When we return Friday, it will probably be with the entire Gulf Coast and New Orleans population...not to mention the 27 irreplaceable original mixed media paintings that make up one third of the exhibition. But, we're staying positive and looking forward to the evening. It's been hard, however, finding an outfit Lauchlin can wear to the opening. Not much matches her navy blue sling, ya know. We are also looking forward to staying at the Beau Rivage and, hopefully seeing our friends Hallie and James, whom we haven't seen since their wedding (E-gads!)
So, wish us well. Hopefully we won't come back with a hurricane on our trail.
