Our project here at Shocco Springs Conference Center has concluded, (tho' we will be parked here for a few more days), but not before a lot of work was accomplished (seven hotel rooms remodeled, four decks torn down and rebuilt, lots of painting, LOADS of laundry, office work, housekeeping, etc.). We also found time to partake in some fun activities....like a match play putt-putt tournament, a tour of the Blind Institute, a tour of the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory (with delicious samples), a pizza party and last, but definitely not least, toilet bowl racing! Yup....you read it right! It was a riot to see all of us "more mature" folks racing around the gym floor and it really got chaotic when we added "flag football" to the mix!

While we were here, we also had the chance to spend a weekend with our friends Dot and Arky Beal (met while working in Gulfport, MS after Katrina) over in West Point, MS. We took in a Sorghum Festival and spent lots of time playing games, chatting, relaxing and just enjoying being together. I think when we left, they are going to miss Miss Daisy more than they will miss us!

It will be nice to have a few days to just relax and get some things done. I'm going to be doing one of my periodic "cullings" of all the stuff we carry with us....just seem to keep accumulating it, until we have no room left! My scrapbooking is also getting some time and attention, and Willie may even get some more work done on his wooden tugbook model (about two feet long).
