Non-reunion Extravaganza

 I was more than a little bummed that I couldn't make my 10-year High School Reunion. Ever since I started teaching, I've grown even fonder of my high school days. I'm so glad I'm not a teenager NOW- they have way more pressure... I promise. 

Anyway, I spent my Friday night with high school kids at the Baker vs. Blount game (want to watch our production? Click here). I drove my little camera operators into Eight Mile, AL and we definitely had a bit of an adventure trying to find Blount HS. I may or may not have accidentally sent a student into a bar for directions. After the game when we were all back in the car, they were scream-singing like I used to do with my friends when I was their age. I couldn't physically be back with all my HS buddies last Friday, but I felt like I was in spirit.

Anyway, Caleb drove in for the weekend and we tried to pack in a lot of fun stuff since I was being mopey about missing the reunion. We ate out for breakfast, lunch AND dinner and it was all places I picked. Here's a shot of us at my favorite restaurant in the Bay area.... Guido's.
 The Chef/Owner pulled up a chair and talked to us for quite a while and told us how to make some of the dishes. We thought that was really cool.

Earlier in the day, when I was walking PJ, I came across a yard sale with this work table on sale for $5 dollars! SOLD to the girl with the crazy dog! I have plans for painting it, but until now it is perched in my "office" and it is already coming in handy.
For the record, the table is MUCH bigger than you think. As in, I still don't know how we fit it in the car to get it home. It was hanging dangerously half in and half out of the trunk all the way home. Redneck!!!!!
