Emmett, Newport, Best Friend, and Calligraphy

Emmett: Still growing. 48 pounds. Vet says he could double in size. Wes likes that idea...I'm not so sure. At least he won't look scary big...he will still just look like a big teddy bear.

Newport: Not the place to stage a state competition for Odyssey of the Mind. Elementary to high school teams from all over the state gathered in this not-so-thriving metropolis yesterday to compete. Plus, they don't even have enough hotels for everyone. The lady at the Best Western/Country Haven Inn/America's Best Value Inn & Suites of Searcy overbooked our rooms which sent us in a tailspin trying to find five rooms for my team. They went to Jacksonville, and I stayed with a best friend.

Best Friend: Yep, I got the good end of the deal. Having already planned on staying with Ying at her parents' house, I felt like I needed to stick to my promise. :) I sent the other coach, the team of kids, and some parents to Jacksonville...and I got a wonderful visit with Lauren. It was soooo good, and I am soooo glad she is moving up here!!

Calligraphy: katewalkercalligraphy.blogspot.com is a brand new addition to the blogging world. Check it out if you need anything done that has anything to do with writing pretty.



The team at Newport's U.S. Pizza. I was really excited, but they don't even have Judy's Favorite Light...my all-time favorite pizza.


My business card...thanks to Cat.
