Ball 2007, a homecoming, and fall fun

Here are some pictures from the past, oh, few weeks or so.. more to come because our one roll is not back yet.



This was an actual festival in the town next to ours... It was for the Mullet fish, not the hairdo... we went in search of a t-shirt for me that said "Mullet Festival" but had no luck. Instead we experienced a true southern shindig.


This was yesterday at the Homecoming that I have been talking about... Kas (on the left) and Rae (right) have been waiting for their husbands for seven loooooong months. I was glad I could be a part of their day! This was them getting donuts and coffee because it was SO cold and windy out.

And finally he returned!

These were post-dinner, pre-getting lost and taking 4 hours to get home



... and here is what I was talking about the other day when I was going to help the girls hang up welcome home banners. It's quite a moving sight first time you see them... they are lined up for a good half mile or more on each side of the highway, different ones going up all the time. But this is what I was meaning when I was talking about them!
