Dinner with the Jackson's




Let me hear ya say Backstreet Cafe!!! The restaurant is a '30s-era house that was converted into a Cafe. It's known for their brunch and their legendary New Orleans-style patio. For dinner: Jeremy had Grilled Trout, Roger had Lamb Chops, Wendy had Shrimp with stone ground cheese grits and I had there fabulous blackened Rib Eye. YUMMO!!! Thanks to Grammie we were able to enjoy great company and dessert!!

Sunday morning photos






Letti is always good about getting out the camera and taking family pictures. 
We stopped and took a few before church on Sunday morning.  Thanks for a wonderful visit! We sure do miss you guys :(

Celebrating Papaw's Birthday 2010





Happy Birthday, Papaw!! Grammie made the BEST birthday cake ever!! It was a coconut cake and man o man was it delicious!! We had our usual brisket, beans, pico and potato salad! I know you guys probably think we can't make anything else but it was a special request from the Birthday Boy! When we're home in Texas we enjoy our brisket. Time sure did go by fast but we enjoyed every minute of Grandmother Kay, Papaw and Grammies visit. Grandmother flew all the way from TN by herself and she is a great traveler.  We are so glad they could make it.  As she says "We have the best family in the world".  All families should be able to say that!

MLS All-Star Vs Manchester United








Jeremy surprised us with some MLS All-Star tickets!! It was a big surprise for Cody especially because the game was sold out.  Manchester United scored the first goal in the fifteenth second. It happened so fast I missed it! To my surprise the majority of the fans were for Manchester United.......go figure. The Coach for the All-Stars didn't put the "Main All-Star" players in until the 80th minute. Which explains, in my opinion, the outcome of the game. The final score Manchester United 5 - 2 MLS All-Stars :( The best part of it all was when a Gentleman came up to me and gave us $50 vouchers to buy whatever from the concession stand. Needless, to say we splurged!!
