Happy Birthday!

It’s that time of year again, where me and my grandmother Mama Flo combine our birthdays into one convienient day for everyone to come and celebrate. Mama Flo is getting on up there (84!) and didn’t want any presents, so we decided to just give her a work day and clean up her yard and house.

Cooling Off

Painting Winn-Dixie is taking way too long, so we decided to take a break when we got invited to swim at a friends house.

Old Timey

I have been eating at the Sonic a lot lately, since it is convienient to the Winn-Dixie where I am working. Tonight we saw this mint-condition old-timey car pull up right beside us.

Kamper Park Zoo

We have started babysitting Anna Mapp, and we kicked off the toddler season with a trip to Kamper Park Zoo. We aren’t much into the ‘plop them in front of the tv’ types, so we thought a trip to the zoo (and train ride!) would be fun.

Fun with Goggles

Ian and Emily are getting the most out of their goggles!

Just Hanging Around

I installed a pull-up bar in the doorway to the office in hopes of reminding me to exercise a little. The kids are always swinging on it, and with the help of a bin, they can kinda halfway pull-up.

A ‘Famous’ Boulder

On a recent commercial shoot in Ocean Springs, I was told that the large sphere in the backyard was used as the boulder in the fan-made film Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation (video here). It was big and hollow, but still structurally intact.

Here we are deep into summer and we haven’t even had a watermelon yet! We set out to find a good local vendor and found this nice man at the gas station on the Hwy11 and 49 intersection.

Here we go! We picked some good ones. Later, we cut and ate them and they were mighty fine!

Happy 4th!

The Providence Baptist Church 4th of July spectacular is always fun! We had a patriotic musical, followed by good food, fellowship, lots of games and fun, and ending with community-wide fireworks show!
