Antici.......pation!

Olivia's debut weekend of "Rocky Horror" went off without a hitch. Now, we're gearing up for Round Two, which begins Thursday night and ends with the midnight show on Halloween night. Thursday will be Lauchlin's first time to see her star on stage! To make up for missing opening night (it was a work trip, after all), she sent the star these....

With this note...

Plenty of friends came out to see "Janet" do her thing, though, and all with rave reviews. The production was such a hit, they had to add an extra show Saturday night.
We watched this week's "Glee" to get in the "Rocky Horror" spirit. Here's a clip...

We hope to see everybody out doing the Time Warp this weekend, if you haven't already!

Mum's the Word

We spent our anniversary weekend doing some much needed yardwork to rid our beds and planters of the very unhappy tomato plants, dying daisies and tall weeds.
The fruits of our labor presented both good and bad results.
The good: our beautiful, fall scenery...



The bad: a very painful sting by an unknown creature that caused an allergic reaction on Olivia's right leg...



And, the ugly: a weird reaction to poison ivy on Lauchlin's right leg...


We're focusing on the good...

Believe It or Not...

Today marks 10 whole years that we've been together!
Here we are at the ripe ages of 19 and 21 fresh on the trail...

Back on Oct. 8, 2000, the only significance of "10" for us was Eli Manning's jersey number. We never could have imagined, back then, that we would be here now. But, it's been a great ride!

More photos from the early days...


Here's to many more decades together.

Impressions

Clementine and Lauchlin have been hard at work on the upcoming issue of Vicksburg Impressions.

and here one can see an attempt to coax Lauchlin into giving her a double byline.

What to look for in this next issue: Old Town Vicksburg (a look at a uniquely American neighborhood), Tara Wildlife, and Rocky Springs!

Lucky Morning

We love to go camping at Rocky Springs.



Our rain fly proved effective although it wasn't quite perfectly applied.


Mmm... Coffee and Bacon


And a double yolk!

Happy Homecoming

Olivia baked brownies for VHS Homecoming and returned with an empty cake carrier. Success!
