The Animals Thank Me

The animals around here thank me....

 

 

 

 

for releasing them from their Hurricane Isaac prison.

After three days of confinement in Mississippi, the clouds have finally begun to break up.

 

Rush especially is enjoying his free Friday, even if our yard is a bit disheveled.

 

 

So we are stretching our legs.

Putting away our hurricane gear,

And praying for those in our area who were less fortunate that we were.

A Weekend in Hattiesburg, Mississippi

This past weekend was actually our second here in Hattiesburg, but since it was spent searching through boxes for food and clothes, I consider this our first "real weekend" at our new home, which caused me to pose the following question:

What does one do on a weekend in Hattiesburg?

Well, anyway, here's what we did.

Friday night, we joined the home-team crowd at the University of Southern Mississippi football game.

Britt made friends with the group next to us.  I was glad of this because that meant he had someone to talk football with besides me.

Lots of people in attendance, great atmosphere, and a victory for the Golden Eages over the University of Kansas Jayhawks!

On Saturday morning, we visited the Longleaf Trace Nature Trail, which is about half a mile from our house.

There are various biking and jogging trails through the dense woods.  We did a quick three-miler.



It was quite a popular area, and hopefully we'll return again soon and be regulars on the trails.

What else do you have for us, Hattiesburg?
