We went to Jackson last week to visit Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa), and especially to see Dad's (Grandpa's) most recent sculpture outside Ella Sharp Museum.
It's titled "The Blonde Trick-Rider Practices for the State Fair".
At Ella Sharp, M finally realizes his dream of being on TV. Or in TV. Or behind TV.
M and K try out the "Whispering Bench", so named because a person can whisper into one end and the other person can hear it perfectly.
A yucca plant next to the house has sprouted quite a stalk.
While we were at Ella Sharp, we noticed a lot of hot-air balloons taking off. We were a little puzzled since the Hot Air Jubilee is scheduled for this coming weekend, but we were told that this was a preview of the Jubilee, intended to create excitement and publicity for the real thing.
Tennis Update
K played his first official USTA tournament over the weekend. He played four matches over two days, and we were exhausted just watching him play. Three of his four matches were against kids who had played many tournaments in the past, but he played hard and didn't give up any easy points. For all the time we were there, we somehow neglected to take even a single picture.

I keep looking, but I've never seen one of these to rent at the canoe livery.
And finally - nope, nope, nope-ity nope.
