Tell Her About It

We attended May's last dance recital. She's decided to move on to gymnastics from here. Still, she is one of the better dancers we saw dancing through the decades. Here she is dancing to one of Billy Joel's 1980s hits...


And the dancer after the performance...


We had cupcakes with green icing after the show...


We also had story time with May...

Home Grown

The successful first fruit of our labor. We called him "Tom," and then we called him delicious! We look forward to many more hearty tomatoes and herbs this summer. We will enjoy them with the other fresh veggies we plan to buy by the boat load at the VFM!

Bring On the Art...

We're all geared up to work another Renaissance Fine Arts Festival. It's this weekend at The Renaissance at Colony Park in Ridgeland. If you're in the market for some art, it's a great place to shop. You can always just look or come simply to see us.
We hope to see everybody there. Here is one of the ads Lauchlin designed for the festival this year...

Lost...

In your eyes?
We watch Lost with Katie every week that we can, and this week was no different. As the series finale approaches, we're getting pretty sad that this is the last Tuesday we'll get together to watch the show and have dinner. Mojo will miss Katie's company...especially her baby belly.
As seen above, they had a moment.

Weekend Visits

We visited with the McHan family on the porch this weekend. Sabol really likes the porch...


And, we also had a chance to visit with Lucy, May and Ellen at Fox's Pizza...



May ate Lauchlin's leftovers...right down to the tomatoes!



And Ellen promptly passed out on her mom after dinner.

Jazz It Up!

We had a good time working the H.C. Porter booth at Jazz Fest this past weekend...



We broke out the festive hats and sunglasses to wish away the rain. Olivia sported rain boots just in case.



We spent some time in the French Quarter with Lauchlin's aunt and unlcle, Beth and Steve.




Steve scored us a room with a view one block off Bourbon...




We ate oysters...raw and cooked three different ways...







And liked them!



Our booth was right between the gospel and the blues tents. We heard some good music where we were, but, mostly, we saw people hearing some great music...

Atlanta, I Hear You Calling

In one week, we have really burned up the road to Atlanta. First, Lauchlin went for the Dogwood Fine Arts Festival...



It was beautiful in Piedmont Park, right in the heart of the city.



Lots of people - and a few confused squirrels (as seen trying to escape this tree) - filled the park to look at the art.
Besides the weather and the sales, some of the highlights were...



Visiting our good friend, Courtney...




And, eating at The Flying Biscuit, a great spot for breakfast!
Three days after Lauchlin returned, Olivia headed east to help chaperone a VJHS showchoir trip (inspired in part by "Glee"). While competition was the main reason she went, she was able to fit in a few highlights of her own...



Like, getting a tour of the Atlanta Falcons' locker room...



Visiting our friend, Courtney. And, apparently, accidentally attending a biker rally.
Next stop...New Orleans. And, this time, we will enjoy it together.
