Join Gollum for Foodie Friday. I did.
Last Friday night I served Shrimp Okra Gumbo and we had a few friends and family over. Normand and I invited Katy and David over and Andrew invited Dom, Matt, Ashley, Gary, Angie, and Pat over. Bon Apetite
Along with the gumbo we had Mushrooms stuffed with shrimp and havarti cheese, Deviled Eggs and Garlic French Bread.
Katy and David brought fruit, brownies and a lovely bottle of Pinot Noir.
I just love the cork.

Today was Joanna’s last day of Swimming Lessons. COLA (City of Lafayette Aquatics) is now using the SwimAmerica method of teaching kids to swim. This month on Tuesdays and Thursdays she has been taking lessons and Jeanne has been an instructor in the same sessions. Joanna learned alot and is on her way to becoming another one of those fast Miller swimmers. Here are a few pictures I took of her today. Her instructors were Coach Sarah and Ms. Sherry. Thanks ladies you made this a great experience for our girl. 
Last night our swim team had their Halloween Party. Aimee’s group watched Monsters vs Aliens while in the pool. Jacob’s group came in costume watched the It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on the pool deck. After the movie Jake’s group went outside to do their dry land exercises. Jo Jo dressed up for the party too. Thanks Uncle Danny for the use of the big blowup screen. It was a great hit.
Dorothy does a streamline.
Back Pack Purse (I love these)
I’ve been wanting this book for a while. Love paying .50 for a $20+ book. Inspiration and thought provoking reading for each day of the year.
These napkin rings are just way too sweet.
Love the little birdies $2 for each set of 4
Beautiful antiqued gold candlesticks $6 for the pair, wooden tray, and 6 wooden napkin rings.
Three framed prints with burlap matting. I have a great idea for the mats and frames.
Last month for her 15th birthday Jessica had a few friends over for a sleepover and homemade pizza party.
Glad you had a great birthday Jess.
A few weeks ago Jeanne went to Lafayette Highs homecoming dance with her friends Giselle and Emily. Before the dance they had dinner at Tokoyo Live and after the dance had breakfast at a friends house.
Where has the time gone? My precious baby turned 4 yesterday. Sassy, smart, cute, precocious, funny, sweet, goofy, silly, determined, these are the words that describe out littlest princess. Here is her life to date in pictures.
WE LOVE YOU JO JO!
