Already a month….
JJ and I both can’t believe that a month has already passed by. When we first decided to visit my grandparents before settling in Hattiesburg, I thought that a month may be too long but it turned out to be a little bit too short. I have not had enough time to do all that I really wanted to do. My grandfather and I did get most of the work we planned to do done but I really wish that we would have spent more time arguing politics. He loves it even when I get him riled up.
I know that we will be back as soon as possible but as my grandparents get older I want to spend as much time with them as possible. Unfortunately, jobs and studies are calling our names!

My turn with the hat.
Saying goodbye to Socks!

We have enjoyed roast, greens, corn bread, hot tamale pie, hamburger steak, tenderloin, peach cobbler, chocolate cake and
