On Monday morning, I let the cats out on the balcony while the coffee brewed. I heard some strange noises and went to investigate. It took me a while to understand their issues (note that coffee was still brewing and yet to be consumed). Then I looked up. Millie and Annie were dreaming of city squab for breakfast, rather than kibble. It was reeked of Sylvester and Tweety. No animals were harmed in the filming of this scene.
We have had rain every day for about the last 2 weeks. The river is rising, our cars are dirty, but the plants are thriving. This is one of two hibiscus I have on the balcony that are exploding with blooms.
Yet another signature short & sweet parade down Washington Street. It was great to see people out on the streets supporting soldiers and veterans on this important day. Rob and Twitch, aka Lobby Cat, watched from the window, wishing they had a balcony. She wanted to jump, for sure. I would, too, if I lived with that emotionally unstable Dog.
It was my first game of the season, rain threatened us all day, traffic was backed up on the interstate, but we would not be deterred! The Braves started a 5 game homestand against the Mobile Baybears and we made it for Thirsty Thursday. There was the customary dizzy bat races, guess the attendance, but the racing eyeballs was a new one for us. Braves hit a couple of homers and won the game 8-2. It was a great night at Trustmark Park, thanks to all those who joined in, and look for details next month.
I was in New Orleans for work last week and texted Jenny about something to do with shoes. She replied back that she couldn't chat because she was in New Orleans for work. I said "huuuuunhh?" and we were able to meet up at Pat O's for some hurricanes and smiles. Life can surprise you sometimes, always be ready!
The season is here, and we have had a good start so far. The guys are nice enough to share their gas grill on the sidewalk & I have old school Weber and charcoal on my back deck. Cobia, steak, shrimp, pork tenderloin...I LOVE SUMMER!
To the mom and grandmother who can do it all, somehow. Thanks for all that you do. Much love!
Field work in grad school was always in jeopardy, Delta Diners is usually plagued by torrential rains, possible tornadic activity and frogs (on the road, not falling from the sky.) Heartbreaking weather projections provided by weatherunderground.
LL performed and played to the crowd, bringing 20-30 people on stage to help out with a few songs. He played newer songs, and a few crowd-pleasing classics, including "I'm Bad" and "Rock the Bells." Skynryd came on and did not disappoint with familiar sounds of "Call Me the Breeze" and "Tuesday's Gone" with far reaching favorites of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Freebird." It might be trite, but I think it is something special to see those songs performed live.
