I thought for sure our party Friday night would end with a reflection, but alas, it did not. Since I never got to lead a reflection, thought I might try here... I don't know if this is right/how to do it, but I am curious to see your answers.
How has your experience in Mississippi changed the way you approach your world back home?

Jones
-post from Miss Carole, of course. Who else, right? (I've invited Mrs. Donnelly to post. Given her author privileges and everything, but I guess she's just too busy. Then again she gets to see you all all the time, so she probably doesn't feel the need to communicate with you all this way as I do.)
So this morning, for a thingy I am writing for a client, I had to interview Dr. Bridgett Williams who is the principal of JONES High School in Florida. About three different times during the interview I almost called her Dr. JONES, because in my mind Jones is nothing but a last name, right? It can't be the name of a high school or anything else. AND Ashley's smiling, laughing face was in my head constantly, distracting me from the subject at hand. Amazing I made it through without a major goof.
Will I ever recover from my short time with y'all??? The experience seems to color everything I've done since.

"Sweet Jane"
-Miss Carole, posting when she should be working
Now THIS song makes me think of BOTH Miss Smedly and the Donn, who introduced me to the brilliance that is the Cowboy Junkies. So hearing it on the radio REALLY makes me pine for the Prep Crew.
I finally put my photo album together last night and, if I do say so myself, it kicks butt. It has this cool little spot on the front cover where you can put a photo and I chose the one someone took of the wrist bands. Who took that photo? I love that photo! It's brilliant! (Right Ms. Tyrrell the Art Expert?) Look... I took a picture of my photo album:
P.S. Loren, what's this about you marrying one of those Donnelly boys? I think you will have to duke it out with Smeds first. Think she has dibs.

Smeds
post from Miss Carole
Ok. So I just heard "Jane Says" on the radio and it made me think fondly of Ms. Smedly. Wonder what she is doing? Wondering if she's properly hydrated (of COURSE she is)? Wonder if anyone is still reading this blog?

[some] Pictures Posted
The final tally from all the memory cards I downloaded was 2,723 pictures. (Gulp.) My goal was to trim it down to somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 or so. But that was pure folly. I just uploaded 495 pics, and I still have about about another 150 to go, but I am getting sleepy and wanted to get something up here as promised.
The links below are to Snapfish albums. If you do not have a Snapfish account already, you will need to create one to view these photos, and you will see that option when you click on one of the links below. (It's free, fast, and they never send me spam.) You can also order prints at Snapfish to be delivered to a nearby Wallgreens, OR right to your door. If you choose the latter, I suggest buying "pre-paid" pics, as it brings the cost down to 10-cents per print.
Album 1: New Orleans, LA
Album 2: Around Lagniappe
Album 3: Work on Jessica's Home
Album 4: Work on Alicia's Home
Still to come... Shots from around Bay St. Louis, Eating out, and a few others.
Email (carole@utterclarity.com) or call (908.689.6797), if you have trouble with anything.

Missing the Prep Crew
post from "Miss Carole"
Tuesday morning. Trying to get back into the swing of things with work and missing this group pretty seriously. Just had to visit the blog to look at pics of all your beautiful faces.
Hope you all had a great night sleep in YOUR beds after showering in YOUR bathrooms and enjoying time with your families.
Miss you all. Feeling blessed to have met you, and encouraged about the future of the world knowing so many smart, compassionate, strong and wonderful women will be shaping it. YAY YOU!!!
