December 2023

This year we went south to spend some time at Christmas in Hattiesburg with Don's family. We packed a lot into a few days and had a great time hanging out with Sharon, Dale, Megan, Andrew, Steven, Katie and Ruby. The boys spent some extra time down south, staying until the New Year.

Can you spot Don and Dale?

I just liked this photo of women who served displayed in the museum.

Don and the boys are at the bottom of the photo.

This is what happened when Don and I tried to do a date night to see Leanne Morgan in Springfield-- flat tire and we missed the show.

Original home of Beignets since 1862-it was a long line but we got some. Jordon was butt hurt and didn't eat any, so he missed out.
