Here's a peek into the three-night, two-day party...
It all began Friday with a porch night to bid Richard (far left) farewell. Richard, someone we both knew — separately — from Oxford, moved to Vicksburg recently. He pretty much left before he got here. But, we certainly enjoyed him while he was here.
Below, he is looking at the Flashback from Oxford High School, where he and Olivia attended one year of high school together.
Next was a trip to our old stomping ground in Way (yes, that's Mississippi) to Camp Bratton Green (or, really, Gray Center) to the Bishop's BBQ, where we had our own "flashback."
We saw tons of old church friends, most of whom we hadn't seen in five years or more. We weren't very good at documenting these reunions, but we managed to have one picture taken — with Jason Woodcock and some other Jason we don't know. Mike Stanton, another camp buddy, is in the background.
We had just enough time to see some of our favorite musicians jam. And, we think we might have landed them a gig for October!
After the BBQ, it was back to Vicksburg for Lauchlin's cousin's wedding. Jennifer Lynne was a beautiful bride. Here she is dancing with our friend, Derek...
Unfortunately, we don't have many photos...like, Olivia's aggressive launch during the bouquet toss or Lauchlin dancing with her cousin, Michael, who decided to finger paint red wine on his tux shirt. Needless to say, it was a good time.
It felt like right when Saturday night's fun was ending, Sunday's was just beginning.
We celebrated Victoria Linares' second birthday in Clinton at Pizza Hut.
May and Ellen were there for the celebration:
After the party, we were driving back into Vicksburg when we received an invitation to a cookout at Katie's. We didn't see any reason to stop the social parade...
We night-capped our weekend with a laid-back visit with some old friends from The Post: Katie, Sean and Steve.
