This and That

Several things have happened since the last post. Caroline can say, "Mama, you are my favorite person in the world and I want to snuggle with you all day." Well, not in so many words. She has become increasingly clingy, although she still expects everyone (strangers, included) to want to hold her. We walked in Scott's Seafood the other night, for my birthday, and she went straight into some old man's arms. I didn't know what to do! Today we visited my mamaw and papaw at the nursing home in Homer, and Caroline went into the arms of almost every passerby. Thankfully, I knew most of them.

I graduated from Louisiana Tech this past Saturday! It's all over. Now I need to find a job. I was turned down for the position I interviewed for the other day. They gave it to a lady that had experience. I won't let that keep me down. I have graduation moolah! Not so much of it is left...I finally own my very own video camera (which I've wanted for years) and I have a Kitchenaid mixer in a box with my name on it somewhere in the mail. We made an overdue stop at Books-A-Million and picked up a few new things. And I bought a few Christmas presents. So, yes, it seems money can buy happiness. (I really hope no one thinks I'm serious.)

Before I post the picks, I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for you.

Caroline with her "great" Papaw Burgess. He told everyone, yes, she is beautiful, and she gets it from him!





A snapshot from the zoo today. My favorite exhibit (although the lions put on a real show today--knocking barrels over and batting them around!).
