Hey y’all, let’s chat…There’s been a lot of living since the last podcast dropped, but it did include some really good beignets. We traveled to the Big Easy last month where we enjoyed the best of ‘em at the original Café Du Monde.

We were in New Orleans for the Farm Bureau Convention where my son and daughter-in-law were in the running for Louisiana Farm and Ranch Couple of the Year. Another fine family took that title this year, but we remain super proud of Phillip and Carey for being in the top three.

While in New Orleans, the beloved farmer and I took in the experience that is the WWII Museum. Y’all. Words fail. If you can get thyself there, do it. But, carve out some time to stay. We were there three plus hours and we didn’t see it all.

June also gave us Vacation Bible School where yours truly volunteered to take the Stampede Sports Station outdoors. That week coincided with having the Lake Providence Grands while their parents were on a business trip to California and that was just a preface for the summer’s really big deal. The Third Annual Pops and Keggie Kamp kicked off June 30th .

That’s our #noadultsallowed extravaganza where we host the grands without their parents. It’s full of swimming, tubing, tennis, crafts, flower picking at our neighbors, Gene and Jo, and their marvelous zinnia and sunflower patch, sight-seeing on the farm, and visits to the great grandparents.
