His Excellency the Governor!

Tomorrow is Heroes Day, a national holiday here honouring those who are old and have fought in wars or done great things somehow. Our church had a special service today honouring several people, some of whom have passed away. The Governor attended, as did his lovely wife, to send birthday greetings to Sis. Julia, who recently turned 100. Val asked the Governor's driver, a police officer, if it would be appropriate to ask the Governor for a picture with Aubrey. He said that this was actually the place where it would be entirely appropriate. Which made Val happy. So, after the service ended, we were fortunate to speak with the Governor and his wife for a few minutes before they left our church. Aubrey was really cooperative as well, not fussing a bit. We think Aubrey is now a bit snobbish... it's like she expects us to do her bidding. Oh wait... we already did all that. Anyways, pretty cool stuff for this backwoods girl from Louisiana. Now I realize that Aubrey is not backwoods or from Louisiana. But I think that says it perfectly.


Getting into the car is the driver for the Governor.
Here are some more shots from this afternoon.

Cute! And I heard that it wouldn't really be worth my time to pull clothing out of storage for the little gal, cause she's about to catch up with Allison! Let me know if there is anything I can get for your February trip.
Love to all!
