Hi Guys.........Just wanted to let ya know that Mom's homecoming has been postponed till Oct.So as soon as we have pics of that I will get them posted~! In the mean time we have been very busy~! Of course you saw that we had the benefit at Lulu's for Chefs for Humanity, well Lou and I volunteered to go to Gulfport Mississippi and work with the "Chefs For Humanity" in the kitchen. I had thought that I would take pictures while I was there of our surroundings but you know what guys I just couldn't do it. It was to sad instead I would like to show you the up side to this community! We based in a little kitchen in a local school, now the kitchen may have been small but we put alot of food out that day! There may have been 30 Volunteers there Thursday Sept. 22 and trust me it was hot and muggy but I never heard one complaint! Everyone just fell in got busy~! These were just good people there to help, man what a feeling~! So thank you Chefs for Humanity for having us~! Lets hope we never have to get together under these circumstances again, but if we do I know Lou and I will go gladly~! Ming if you happen to see this Lou and I would like to say It was a pleasure working beside you and we respect what You and all the other Chefs do on a day to day basis and if you ever need us please call, we'll be there~! Oh and by the way James another Lulu's employee went with us you'll see him in the pics as well. I know he had a great time and I bet he would do it all over again as well. Ok I am going to close for now please check back soon you never know what may be here.............I love you guy's.........Love Julia~!

This tree was right in front of the hall of records,the largest in the world I might add! Now what you see are the blooms but they are pods which have seeds in them........soooooooooo guess what I am planting this spring......hehehehehe Lou says yaaa think ya might go to jail for that hun? I says I don't think god cares if I take a seed back to Alabama and they shouldn't either~!
