• ● Six grandchildren at our house at one time! The merriment grows.
• ● Mississippi State Girls basketball!  What a wild and wonderful season. Praise the Lord and go dawgs as the Coach says!
• ● Sitting outside in our old wooden swing…brought from Batesville to Tennessee now hanging from its own shed that DW built…with DW and puppy Skipper to watch the sunset.
• ● New friends. Endearing…
