1.)Aaron's dad, Mick, came to help us paint the nursery and add to our crown moulding project - the dining room and nursery are done! Yea! Thanks Mick! I hope to post nursery pics soon. He always works very hard when he's here but hopefully he was able to enjoy some good Southern food, plants and Jeep excitement,too. You should never tell people you are handy at anything! They will put you to work, right Mick?
2.)Aaron has had Meredith College graduation which is a very busy time for him. He and his guys work for weeks to make the campus look spectacular so he has been working several weekends and the reward is that the campus looks AMAZING. Here's an idea but doesn't do it justice. It was actually a huge project that you must see in person. Pictured is Lacy, Aaron's work companion.
3.) My parents came in from KY and we had a wonderful time doing the things we all love to do when they visit. Mom likes to do a little shopping around and going to Hays Barton Pharmacy for burgers and a piece of cake. Dad likes any culinary stop and outdoor excursion like Duke gardens and the Farmer's Market. He won't leave without a biscuit and I love taking them to the actual market. They get as big a kick out of the gorgeous produce as I do. You don't even have to buy anything - its just so beautiful. We did buy some stuff for mom to make my favorite childhood meal - pinto beans, fried squash and potatoes with cornbread. Yum. We also pigged out on strawberries that are just ridiculously red and sweet right now. I was terrible about taking pics but Aaron got a couple of gorgeous ones from Duke.
The rest of the weekend was low key - evenings and mornings in the backyard in hammock and chairs with pups, rainy evenings were on the front porch watching it come down which we used to do in Pauls Valley. We all enjoyed the relaxation after what has been a very busy Spring for everyone.

Sounds like so much fun. Aaron is an artist. When we buy a house I really am longing for Aaron to come and make a plan for me which in return I will cook you guys lots of delicious desserts.
Excellent. We do work for food, right, sweetie? He just finished a project where the wife made us these incredible cookies a couple of times and it makes the day more fun.
Ah yes, I'll be a good cookie supplier. I'll help you and Aaron and then every once in awhile go into the house to make cookies. Good plan.
