Happenings

The past few weeks have been crazy busy, but wonderful!  We started June with a visit from Adam, Katherine, and Lyla.  I'm so glad they called to ask if they could stay with us on the way home from Texas.  It was wonderful to catch up with them and spend time with sweet Lyla.  Katherine, I promise, we are coming to see the house on our next trip. 

In my last post I told Mom to get another horse - well - she did!  Meet Cash.
This picture was taken within a few hours of Cash arriving, so obviously he and Sugar didn't mind too much.  As Andrew said, I bet Sugar is thrilled to not have to ride all the time now, ha!  

Not sure if I have mentioned it or not, but Mom and Dad also got a Great Dane during the winter.  You will not believe how similar he and Tucker appear.  One major difference - Vito is much heavier than Tucker.  One will be tall and skinny and the other will be "built."  This is Vito...
 And a similar picture of Tucker...
  
Moving on from all the animals.  We also had a visit from Mrs. Susan for one of Andrew's graduation dinners.  She brought all sorts of yummy Georgia produce for us.  We have/had peaches, onions, strawberries, blueberries, squash, tomatoes, eggplant, rosemary, and garlic.  Everything but the peaches and onions came out of her garden!!  Of course, I had to make peach cobbler.  I got a little bored and decided to make a lattice top with a little decoration - ignore my lack of art skills please...
 She also requested a trip to Penn's for Chicken-On-A-Stick.  I'm telling you - there is nothing better than watching some one's reaction to seeing it for the first time.  You can tell them all about it for years but until they see it in person, they really don't believe you.  Of course - it was a huge hit...gotta love Mississippi food!

...and I'm going back to Penn's next time too! I loved it. It's a shame it isn't on the 20 lb challenge diet though!
