My oldest son, Oliver III, and wife Chris, should arrive tomorrow for a four day stay. It will be the first time I have seen them in just over two years.

Barbara and I have a lot planned to entertain them. They love the Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from the Magnolia Cafe in St. Francisville, LA (and so do I). We will drive up there and get some.

There will be several trips to Tony’s Seafood, they are always fascinated with Tony’s. We all love Copeland’s on Essen Lane, so we will eat there one night. Parrian’s will be one place we will go that they have not been. I know they will enjoy that.

I plan to cook Gumbo one day and maybe some Dirty Rice. We should all gain a few pounds after their visit.

I got 80% of the things I wanted to do completed today. I will not test the car this Friday night, but SCR has a Sat. Test & Tune on the 12th where I can get some daytime testing done. This is great! Gates open at 4 pm (My son leaves early on Sat.).

Congratulations to Texas racer, Shannun T. Walker and his Firebird. First time into the eights! He made two 8 second passes this past Sat. at SCR.
