A weekend with the girls!

One of my college sorority sisters, Amanda, got married a couple of weekends ago in Clarksdale, MS. I flew home solo to go to the wedding and several of my other sisters came without their husbands as well. It was great to see everyone again and so fun to party with all the girls.

The reception was held at the Hopson Plantation. There are several buildings on the property including houses that can be rented. All the wedding party and lots of the guests stayed in these houses and I crashed with some of the bridesmaids in this big house. There were interesting things all over the house from signs to mannequins to furniture. I am sure some of it is worth some good money. Definitely years and years of history in these buildings.





And the "stuff" was not limited to the insides of the houses. There was plenty of yard art to go along with it.
A random pile of water skiis...

Cutout shadows on the wall (that were extra creepy in the dark)

And a unique bowling ball / wheel sculpture.


It was the perfect setup for a wedding, especially one where most of the guests were from out of town. We partied late, did lots of catching up and made the most of our short weekend back together.

Congratulations Amanda and Peyton! Thanks for the great reunion!! :)

Saturday morning at the airport

This is the conversation we had Friday night:

Cason, tomorrow is Saturday, what do you want to do?
"Go to Neanie and G-Pa's"
Aw, bud, me too but that's too far for a day trip.
"Go to Luke and Hudson's???"
Still too far, I'm sorry, wish we could.
"But we could go on an airplane"
Yes, we could but it's too late to get tickets.
"We can go to the airport and look at strangers"

All I could do is laugh at that one. Sweet boy misses his long distance family and friends!!

We'd been talking about going to eat at the new Black Walnut Cafe at the Conroe airport so we could watch the planes. So we thought this was the perfect opportunity.

It's a great view and we had fun:


Of course, Cason was more interested in these bugs than the planes. He named them Anna and Elsa!
