Mississippi Mania!

I had a blast this trip!  It's hard to put it into words so I'll let the pictures do the talking with just a little help!  I took all of the pictures except of course the ones I'm in.  My mom took Jameil in action shots.  First, the set-up as I prepare to interview my Aunt Shirley.

 Welcome to Mississippi!  

This sign becomes more joyous to me with each trip!

 A rural part of I-20 in Mississippi.  So different from 20 in Atlanta, right??  Hilariously so!

 Flowers in bloom in my grandma's backyard. Love it!

 My grandma with the statue of Medgar Evers in front of the Medgar Evers library.

 Me and my new BFF. My cousin's 2 yo ADORABLE son LOOOOOVES ME! So cute!  He loved me just as much when we met a year and a half ago.  Just as cute then!

 Me and some of my cousins

 Me and my cousins in the interview set-up

 4 generations of women + D who REFUSED to let us take a picture without him! LOL

 Me and my uncle David on our family land.  With the wild boars and deer and bears! Oh my!  Snakes and wolves, too.  You see how uncle dave is running?  This dude was like that all day!  It was awesome!  I loved it!

This picture right HERE?? I was MESMERIZED down there!  This is where my Grandma who called herself "The Pink" and "The prettiest woman in J.asperCounty."  Hilarity.  I could've kept walking down that road forever.  First time I ever felt like I could live part-time in Mississippi.  This is where I'll have my winter home. 

 Me and Uncle Dave at the former site of my great-great grandma's home, Grandma Duck!  This is where my grandfather grew up.  My mom and her brothers used to play in the yard here.

 It was sooo pretty!  And this pic doesn't do it justice.  There were tons of flowers in bloom.

 A lake near my family's land.  Loved this, too.

Oh! And I also hung w/Pserendipity, Aidan, Love Girl & Nerd Girl and we had a blast!  This was a really, really good trip!
