Diane and Gary have made good use of their time in Mississippi. Every morning we chat over coffee, their second cup and our first. We rise late while they are still waking up on Maryland time. Then they are off to explore. Today they drove to Oxford, Mississippi, the home of The University of Mississippi and Willian Faulkner. The town itself is charming with a stately center square. On one corner sits one of the 10 best bookstores in the US, called Square Books, certainly worth a visit in it's own right. They drove around the campus and ate a delicious lunch at one of several 4 star restaurants in town.
Oxford is about a two hour drive from Jackson so it was a long day. Gary missed his nap. But they arrived home just in time before dark so we had time to chat before our dinner made by Lourdes, our Cuban cook. They leave tomorrow morning so they will need to return to Mississippi in order to see Natchez and the Mississippi shore. But they covered a lot of ground. A short visit to the Mississippi Craft Center yesterday made them appreciate Mississippi artisans. The quality of the work is amazing. Now we hope they will return another year. We enjoyed their company and of course, Diana is a huge help at home. Gary changed a light bulb too, which we appreciated. They might even visit us in Nova Scotia next summer. And they both like our home here in Mississippi. They approve of our lifestyle here. Their visit was enjoyed by all.
