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!!

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.

Kate, that business card is beautiful. You are right about Newport--the garden spot of Arkansas. If you had planned early enough you could have had rooms at Fortune Inn and Suites and checked out the rock and roll memorabilia in the bar. I blogged about it several months ago.
Emmett is so cute. I guess you know that I have a grand doodle named Jeff.
Emmett is absolutely adorable!! When can I come meet him?!?
Kate.. your puppy is such a big boy now! WOW!
I can't believe we haven't caught up yet on the OM competition... life is so busy!
