March 20 St. Paddy's Day Parade in Jackson

"It ain't easy being green!" This is the theme...Jim Henson....Kermit the Frog

March 19 On To Jackson

Patti and Norman welcomed us with a crawfish feast friday night; it conjured up memories of my childhood visits to my family in New Orleans who would always treat us to a table covered in newspaper and piled high with crawfish!

March 18 Girl's Day Out

The Watermelon Patch






Visiting Uncle O P at the Police Department at Southern








Lunch at the Spicy Pickle










Girl's Day Out was fantastic.

March 17 Top o' the Mornin' to Ya!

We traveled to Hattiesburg today. The sun peeked out as we went below Laurel and got into South Mississippi proper.

The sun shines in more than one way in Hattiesburg! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

March 16

Kaite's first outing since she got the flu was a trip to the dorm to pick up a few things and then on to The Grapevine to get her art pieces framed for the student show. A few shots of her room in Callaway Hall.








Still Life of Stuff

We had a little problem after we got Kaite's stuff out of the dorm; she left her keys in the room; the room was locked and we couldn't get into the car. She had to call Nicole to let her back into the room and I guarded the stuff that we had deposited on the top of the car. Oh, college days...

Daddy bought a new shirt to wear at the St. Paddy's Day Parade in Jackson Saturday.

March 14

I have no problem "falling back", however "spring forward" day is always a challenge.

This is Kaite enjoying the purse Lydia gave her for her birthday.

March 13

Lydia sent a birthday present to Kaite via Lyd's friend, Anna Truitt. Anna lives in Hattiesburg and grew up in Columbus; Lyd and Anna not only went to New Hope together but also went to preschool together.



Kaite opening her gift.

Marianna came in Friday night with two black and tan daschunds that belong to her friend Samantha and husband David.

Lily has made friends with Lucy; however, Anabelle is another story.

March 11

These buttercups came from Myrtle, from Grandma's house. They have always been known as Lydia's flowers since they usually bloomed on or about Lydia's February 21st birthday.

Well, this year they are now Kaite's flowers. They bloomed today, March 11th, Kaite's birthday! David and I no longer have any teenagers; Kaite is officially 20. Wow! We have survived three teenage girls! Thanks, Lord!

March 10

Not a lot to choose from for today, so this is a shot of the Sunday brunch for Lacey.

March 9

She has two different meds to use with the nebulizer.

The flu, bronchitis and sinus crud is not a pretty sight!

March 8

Monday morning found us in the doctor's office; Kaite had already been to the Dr. on Friday and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. By Saturday night she was running 102+ fever...miserable on Sunday we went back to the doctor on Monday.



On Monday they told us she had the flu, acute bronchitis, and a sinus infection; she moved from the couch to the bed to the bathroom....and that is all she did all week long. She missed the entire week of school. I chose not to go to St. Louis with my MERIT classes because she was so sick. It has been a tough week all around.

March 7

We did a birthday brunch for Lacey's birthday. Bess Toyama, Kaite's roommate last year, contacted me and we concocted the surprise. This is a picture of Bess and Lacey. I especially looked for thick bacon like the girls had while they were in London. They are all Honor's College members who went to London together.

March 6

Lacey Jaudon's 21st Birthday; she is Kaite's suite-mate.

It doesn't seem possible that Momma and Daddy have been gone so long. My mother died March 3, 1979, 31 years ago; Daddy died in 1996, 14 years ago in July.
