Louisiana Knights win their first game of the World Series 12-7!!! Kyle pitched 5 innings, coach pulled him when the score was 8-3, wants to save his arm in case they fall into the loser's bracket.
Way to go Kyle. Kathy how long are they in Cincinnati?
They'll be back either Sunday or Monday depending on how far they make it.
She is so excited and I'm thrilled for her. I have to admit that I'm really going to miss her. 
She's never gone away to camp before. We're meeting at Target tomorrow at 8:15 and will caravan the girls to the College. It's always something. I was hoping to start spending some $ on updating our kitchen (change out some of the decor, replace the dated hardware), but then I realized the car is due for a brake job. I'm hoping it's only the front brakes, but I have a gut feeling it's going to be the whole she-bang. I know spending that $$ is necessary to keep us safe, but I'd much rather spend it on something I could see & enjoy!I'm kind of down today as I found out the total to fix my car- $1000!!
But it has to be fixed, so there it is. Ugh. Our trip is still on- it is a quest now!
Hope this works! If the River Road markets don't pan out, try linking to the Red Stick Farmer's Market site. They should have a contact listed there for the vendor that comes to BR. If he's like most other vendors that hit the Farmer's Market circuit, I bet he comes closer to your direction.
GO Knights! GO Kyle!
When's their next game? Are they getting to do any sightseeing while waiting?
I've made some wrong turns in my life too, but this was a chartered bus driver, for heaven's sake. Those boys (young men I should say) were livid.
Any ideas what type of facility you're looking at for Dad? That sounds so much like my dad, worrying about the drainage....
I just ate some soup and took some vitamins, hopefully it will help. Just started the sweats....
Uh, I called my DH , in desperation, and he ,thankfully, had HIS brain connected to his heart and said, "uh, we do enough, no, and what do you REALLY beleive?" and it whipped me back into shape. 
Now you know why i am kooky!!!
DH comes home from work with tons of stories about customers who are currently dealing with cancer or are cancer survivors who are doing what you described. They are looking to better their nutritional habits any way they can. Depending on the type of cancer, some have very restricted diets and are totally overwhelmed with dealing with the nutritional lifestyle change. He tries to help them find foods that they can eat the best that he can, but he says he doesn't know how some of them do it.I posted yesterday but got lost in school stuff and forgot to submit it!
Anyway, thanks Lorie, cancer taught us something!! I learned way too much and it made me a bit nutty. I though everything would just kill us/her. Not to mention that we were/sometimes still are, targets for the "next best thing that will cure cancer". I admit to trying ONE really crazy thing that I cannot even remember what it was called, but it was a desperate mom fighting for her dying little girls life, that recommended it, and I caved for her sorrow and friendship. But i cried all the way home(from the westbank to the northshore at 10pm!) b/c the people administering the 'test' told me Ashton still had cancer in her body(this was when we were about a year away from finishing chemo and she was in remission) and we needed to get her on $500 worth of herbs and vitamins.
I so wanted to validate my friend, who was losing her baby girl, who was 6, by just putting the $500 on a CC so she knew I believed with her, but we couldn't and thankfully, didn't.
Well, I guess now, looking back, those people were crazy to me. My friend did lose her child to rhabdomyosarcoma a few months later after a LONG and BITTER battle.
When Ashton was just 3, she told me her cancer was gone for her mommy-2x. My DH decided to beleive her COMPLETELY and I need to "see" numbers-I guess it is the medical background. I wanted to beleive her, but when numbers did not point correctly, I caved. I LOVED those words from her mouth, but had a hard time digesting them-for years.

NOT rude at all, hope you're feeling better today.
Lori - I wish I could comment but I have NO experience with girl stuff so I can't help at all, boys are a whole other kind of monster.
I don't know if either of you have the freezer space, but have y'all tried the local Farmers' Markets for chicken & beef? I know the BR market has had someone who raises free-range chicken, and I'm fairly certain they also have someone selling beef. Getting a half- or quarter-calf would probably be cheaper in the long run than Whole Foods. Of course, you'd lose some convenience, but it might be worth checking out.
Have to agree with Kathy....I'm glad I don't have to deal with the drama (I am one of 3 girls, so been there, done that), but I have a feeling my boys will be bringing home their own special problems soon enough! Hang in there, Lori.
