Michael and Shelley's Visit

We had a wonderful while Rusty's dad and sister, Michael and Shelley, were in town for a visit.

Kentucky

We went to Finch's lake house at Paris Landing this weekend and hopped across the border into Murray, Kentucky for lunch. Making the grand total of Lorelai's states visited FOURTEEN! (TN, MS, MI, IN, OH, FL, AL, MO, KS, NC, PA, NJ, NY, KY)

Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day Grill Out

We got rained out, and had to move the tables under the porch but still had a great Memorial Day!

Lollipop, Lollipop ohh la la

One more trip to the safari.

The safari is the perfect field trip for us since it is so close!

Sunny Day Tea Party

Lorelai spent the morning having a tea party on Meemi and Pa's back porch.

Quote of the Day

Handprint Stepping Stone

Thanks to Elizabeth inspiring me to do this!! I love it but getting my all-girl girl to stick her hand in wet mushy cement was almost the death of me. I shamelessly bribed her and even then it sortof back fired as she pulled her hand out and shook it ... splattering little cement blobs all over the kitchen... but it came out great :) She did the mixing and stirring of the cement with my help and even did the placement of the glass pieces too!

Death by big bird. Video.

Here are this week's Hearts & Darts.
From the readers:
Hearts to the Jackson-Madison County Bar Association for graciously allowing me to be a part of their annual Law Day Luncheon. I was invited by Jackson City Judge Blake Anderson to be his guest at their annual Law Day Luncheon. There were several awards given. I was completely surprised that I, too, was a recipient of one of the awards, the "Liberty Bell Award," one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I might miss some names, but I have to offer hearts to Caroline Ballentine, (who, I was told, made the nomination), Jody Pickens who presented the plaque, Judge Anderson and Daryl Hubbard, who helped keep it a secret. Hearts to all the lawyers, judges, paralegals and support staff who were there and who work hard every day to serve the people. I know that with God, all things are possible, and I pray that I will continue to do his will.

This doll house chandelier probably costs more than every light fixture in my entire house combined.
