Got the house all ready for Mom's first visit. 

Truffles is getting ready. 

Jan brought her over and we had lunch. 

Took a little trip to Meridian to visit Ivy and Tripp. These little buddies love to play. 

Cosmo definitely rules the roost. Here he is in Monty the dog's bed. 

This is Grandma's cat Miss Bossy. She rules the other side of the duplex. 

I woke up the next morning to this sweetness. 

We were fascinated by this Banana Orb spider that lived out front of the porch. Love the perspective with the truck. Also note her tiny husband just above and to the left. Poor guy. He will be lunch after he has done his duty. 

Yes. It is that time of year. Ed made the perfectly seasoned ones with the addition of a little Zatarain's crab boil. 

Then Sophie and Paul had us over Sunday for chicken shawarma. 

So good. 

First (and only) spider lily. 

Opened fully the next day. Back to school harbinger. 

My cousin, Diane asked if we would like these old quilts. My Aunt D was about to sell them for $1 at a garage sale in 1978. She rescued them. We will each take some. Ju ju loves them.
