in honor of my year abroad, we threw a fish fry second saturday supper club good-bye callie party at the church. many thanks to ron and dad for capturing and cooking the yummy catfish, and to everyone else who helped supply snacks, food, and drink. it was a really nice way to get to visit and say good-bye to my tn family and friends.
another plus: mary ann and bill, aunt nay and uncle mike, and uncle garrett came to visit for the weekend. the boys went fishing and the girls went for pedicures and massage. see the photo for evidence of our joint "we'd like cajun shrimp toenails, please" excursion. 
even my "lil brother" came! he is a science teacher now, just like me... he also thought that bringing me a package of black licorice would be fun, informing me that, "i'd better get used to it." Note to bob: i shall not ever get used to the danes' idea of tasty chewy and candy items. chocolate, pastries, sure....but licorice and cough drops for candy, nej tak.
this one is from a surprise lunch on the volunteer princess--boat ride and lunch along the tennesee river in downtown knoxville. kath and andrew were nice enough to take us out for lunch to celebrate my fulbright award, and sneaky enough to invite some other family/friends. the twiggs and ploegers came too! i just might miss TN and the rivers/lakes after this lunch--such a nice way to spend a summer day. the only thing better would have been to seen williams-bryce instead of neyland...all that orange still hurts my heart a little.
