Delays to the blog are a function of many things, but I choose to blame my impossibly slow wireless at home. I was fortunate to have houseguests recently, hailing from the distant lands and other countries of Canada and Texas. Leslie and Lila made the early morning flight from Houston for some visiting with old friends and Kelly and Tim flew in from New Brunswick and road-tripped from Nashville.
We sat in the shade at the World, while Tim and Kelly calculated whether it qualified as a dive bar. It scored higher than any other bar they had sampled.
Lila chased the cats and evaluated my housecleaning skills (she was not impressed).
She met some of the locals, Sarah Steevens and Will Kennedy. Picture stolen from Team Kennedy's blog.
And she LOVES pudding! Soy, of course.
A huge success, thanks in large part to sharing of the costs and responsibilities, Amy hosted a great crawfish boil this weekend. Ryan and Brett headed up the cooking, she cleaned and readied the yard, and I just provided the accessories--corn, potatoes, mushrooms, sausage, and yes, even asparagus. It was Easter weekend, after all. Lots of fun, lots of work, but all worth it.
This little critter made a strong case for being released, as he latched on to both Brett and Ben. They both refused to let him clamp onto their ears for a photo op. Weak sauce, indeed. In the end, he was able to convince them not to throw him in the boiling pot of deliciousness. I hear Brett ate him raw. Post purge, of course.
