No More Gumbo Cookoff

The Greater Orange Chamber of Commerce has decided to forego the Gumbo Cookoff for 2010. I guess we will have to be content to have won the trophy in the final cook off.

Party Time

We will be celebrating James' 19th Birthday at Granny's on Sunday. His Amazon wish list is somewhat up to date.

Calling All Campers

We are going to the Hill! Donna, Joyce, and I are heading to Red Hill on Thursday July 9th for a few days in the woods. Please let me know if you wish to join us and I will put your name in the pot for supper.

James Got a Job!

James is now gainfully employed by Academy. He starts as a cashier.

Father's Day Suggestions

In case you were wondering what to get Miles the Elder, I have received the following suggestions:

From golfsmith.com

ZTech Ball Retriever # 298955--- $ 24.99
ZTechShag Bag w/ aluminum Tube # 292742 -- $ 19.99

From smithsoniancatalogue.org -- Autographed Baseball Tie --# 20124 -- $ 35.00

A watch jewelry box.
Some kind of bar-b-que grill
for some unkonwn reason he keeps looking at and wanting an old fashioned popcorn machine, either on wheels or not, I have no idea where he might put such a thing.

Please do NOT buy him any kind of clothes or shoes.

An Even More Major Family Announcement

Coleman has come out with a rechargeable blender. Family campouts will never be the same.

I'm taking up a collection.

Red Hill Update

Red Hill re-opened on April 1st. Extensive work was done, but no other details are available at this time.
