Hanging at Long Last

Christmas morning we drove up to the Delta after checking out what Santa brought to Natchez. We had lunch with the Sturdivants at Aunt Cindy and Uncle Sykes' house. Some of us (mainly me) fell asleep that afternoon so we didn't open gifts until Monday morning, Dad's 61st Bithday. Micajah, Grace and Eleanor (4 months) arrived Monday afternoon and stayed through lunch on Friday. It was a great "staycation" and we really enjoyed just hanging out with each other at the house.

Ha! We had to take a picture of the Seagrams. Hyde was going to fix a drink and was looking through the possibilites and found this unopened bottle. Then he noticed that it was from ...

yep, 1978!! The year Micajah was born! We all fell over laughing. That means it has also made it through 3 moves.

We went in to shop one afternoon and had dinner at Lusco's and Delta Bistro. I was able to take a stick shift lesson from dad and sew and Hyde was able to ride his bike
and hunt ducks and deer. Maggie was able to run all week with Walker
and Sydney and hunt with Hyde 2 mornings. Jane had a great
time-playing with Eleanor, seeing/feeding/petting the horses, and running or riding 4 wheelers
around the farm.
