Maw Maw's Birthday

My Grandmother turned 94 on Friday!! My Mother, Aunt Carol Lynn and I took her to lunch at Applebees. Maw Maw is just as sharp as a tack still. She makes sure you are taking the right turns to get to your destination, she always orders hot tea ( no matter what the restaurant) and wants to know what kind of cup it's going to come in....most of the time it's not fine china! haha... We had a great time catching up. I also redid my booth this week and Christmasized ( my own word) it!

October

October was a very busy and fun month for us. It started with Ashton and I going on a road trip to Greenville, MS to visit a new dermatologist. I am directionally challenged and took a wrong turn and to our surprise we ended up in Arkansas, who knew it was so close!? However had we not made that wrong turn we would never have seen the Alpaca Farm!! We had to pull over and take pictures!
That weekend Mark and I headed to Port Gibson. We finally hung some pictures on a few of the walls ( who cares that they aren't painted!) We also hung drapes in the billiards room.

The next weekend we went back to Port Gibson with the kids, Mom and Tom came for the day on Sunday. We cooked hotdogs on the grill and rocked on the porch and took the driving tour of Port Gibson ending at the Mississippi River.

A few days later we were driving past Petsmart and saw the CARA people with puppies for adoption. Ashton and I fell for a puppy we named Kudzu! ( a weed that grows by the side of the road) Yes we are suckers for a puppy!

The next weekend we visited Marks parents in Jasper, with all THREE dogs! I'm sure they are still vaccumning up dog hair! We had a wonderful visit; fishing, shooting skeet, riding in the woods, and paddle boating.

The next weekend we were back in Port Gibson with Ashton and her friend Tori. The weather was beautiful so we rode bikes a lot! While we were there we saw a flyer about "Paint Day" that was to take place the next weekend, so yes we were back again!

This was Halloween weekend; Austin and Ellen arrived before Mark and I and were set up on the front porch handing out candy to the neighborhood kids! Ellen dressed up like Mrs. Heath and Austin was planning on doing Risky Business ( underwear and socks), but thank goodness it was too cold! They even brought Austiin's pumpkin he carved "Happy Hal". The Saturday morning was "Paint Day". Artists set up all over twon painting things in Port Gibson. We rode around on our bikes checking it all out! That night there was a wine and cheese part at Georgias and the art was auctioned off with 20% of the profits going to the Save Church Street fund. We had a great time, met new friends and left with THREE painting!
