Spring 2018

A group shot of the Friends of the Library board and volunteers April 28.  We threw a Crawfish Boil for our building fund to help remodel the Burnett Building.  We sold 100 tickets and raised about $1200.  Fun was had by all

Thank goodness for the shade

This is RIP, a yellow lab pup that someone found on the interstate and dropped off at the vet clinic
hoping to be claimed....well I had him about 3 weeks and he went to Rhode Island with the
Save a Lab rescue group a couple weeks ago.  Usually I meet transport in Memphis or Forrest
City but this transport were volunteers from Memphis all the way to Rhode Island.  It was amazing.
I was in on a Facebook conversation (which got old as the days went on) but I met a lady in
downtown Memphis and she took RIP to Jackson, Tennessee and so on.  Pretty neat.

Impromptu Kentucky Derby Party May 5.  I had invited a few friends over to watch the derby...well one thing led to another and we had 35 (Joy and Marcel rolled in a little later).  It was lively and fun, I just had planned on guacomole and salsa
since it was also Cinquo De Mayo, and everyone ended up bringing a few things.  It really was a fun party.  Everyone in this photo are related except for Jon David and Ashley King, which cracks me up.

Benton of course wore these pants....

I have a king snake who likes to hang around the garden.  I've seen him around several times

This year I have 3 boxes of Cucumbers and 3 boxes of tomatoes and peppers.  Thankfully we are to be around in June and July to pick...the last couple summers we've been gone during an important part of the season...

This is my courtyard.  Winnie Bob's azaleas were exceptional this year...

We had a fun crew over for the Kentucky Derby this year, very last minute and I guess nobody had plans cause look at all the folks that showed up!!!  It was right after the Good Shepherd Center 4 miler race that morning, so cousins and friends started rolling out around 3 and they stayed until dusk to go on a creek walk at Kara's.  It was a fun, impromptu party!!!  Look at Benton's pants, lol!

Chloe and Jackie got me this peach tree 8 years and it looks like we'll have quite a few
