My parent's returned home this weekend after a very wonderful week visiting me and BJ in Kentucky. Here are a few observations I have had about our week:
1. Job interviews aren't that different from the first day of kindergarten: it is less nerve-wrecking if your daddy takes you there.
2. Mothers never stop enjoying picking out new clothes for their little girls, and that fact just gets more and more fun with age for the "little girls."
3. Sawdust and Derby pies are both good, but Sawdust pies are better.
4. When a person's church greets that person's family like they are in fact family, it makes for a giant, mushy smorgasbord of hospitality. It's actually pretty fun.
5. I like showing off my husband's preaching chops. Might as well admit it.
6. My life is one giant love triangle: I miss Texas, but I love Kentucky, too.
7. Mom has become a political junky. What an election.
8. I now know more about snuff than my dad who has been spitting it for forty years.
9. No matter how old I get, I still cry like crazy when it's time to say goodbye...
10. ...and I still call my brother when I'm crying like crazy so that he can make me laugh.

I was anxious to hear how the visit went. Glad it went well. Hope you get to come to TX soon. Have a good week! -Haylee-
I lived in KY for 5 years. I am familiar with Derby Pie, but send me the recipe for a sawdust pie! I have never heard of it?!
