Saturday Morning Sugar Rush

On Saturday mornings, one of our favorite things to do is load up in the car and head to Gibson's Donuts. We believe they have the best donuts in town, and it is without a doubt an entertaining venture. It's a family owned business, and one of those places where you see the same people every Saturday. The owner is a big Memphis fan, and appears to have a soft spot for Mississippi State as well. Or it could be that he just really detests Ole Miss. I'm comfortable with either scenario. If he knows you or recognizes you, he'll toss a hot donut at you when you walk in. And if you're wearing any Ole Miss apparel, it will be chocolate glazed. Michael was washing chocolate off his hands all day! The kids love this place because of the decor (and the donuts, of course). There are flying cows and pigs hanging from the ceiling, and a vibrant green monkey that screams and dances if you squeeze his hand. All five of us are completely satisfied (Mary Wren possibly too satisfied) for under $7. You can't beat that! I took pictures on Saturday:

Flying cows, pigs, and monkeys

And I couldn't resist this picture. It's such a microcosm of Lydia and Mary Wren's personalities. Those of you who know them well don't need to look at the name pictures above their beds to know who sleeps where!
