I don't even know if I can totally capture in writing what is going on in McComb this week! As Director of Keep Pike County Beautiful, calls are coming in to the office with locals wanting to help clean up the streets and walkways as American Idol's LaPorsha Renae is coming home. The Town of McComb is expecting some 8,000-10,000 guests to visit Pike County, with the destination being the McComb High School Football Field to catch a close glimpse of LaPorsha in concert.

So I hear, these homecoming TV focus shows of the contestants can stir up everything. The gas stations and restaurants are anticipating a need for more inventory. Hotels expect to be packed. Can you imagine how much activity the ATM's will get? It is exciting, I tell ya! Her name is on yard signs, windows, and storefronts.

In Pike County, our crowds don't protest - they welcome you home with a glass of sweet tea and a chair on the porch. Come join us in celebration of LaPorsha Renae's success. I tell ya, it is going to be a blast!

The last five minutes in church today, it was hard to keep my mind off of dinner, since I didn't have time to eat breakfast. Dinner is what you eat at noon in the South, and always a social time to catch up with church friends at the table. Today, we decided to take the ride to McComb for dinner at Mr. Whiskers. Mr. Whiskers is truly a family restaurant in a rustic decor building. It has a wrap-around porch with benches and rocking chairs to sit and enjoy. The inside walls are decorated with antique signs, car tags, and other memorabilia of days gone by. It is a mom-and-pop Cracker Barrel. Their popular menu items are catfish, coleslaw, and fried dill pickles, among other items. Sunday is a buffet of home-style cooking. As my friend said, "It's the one day we get our vegetables".

My plate was full of fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, turnip greens, macaroni and cheese, fried squash, pecan pie, and sweet tea. My New Year's Resolution was to enjoy the things God gave us. Dinner at Mr. Whiskers, you can do that for sure!

The Thanksgiving holiday can be sad for many folks. It is a time we all enjoyed growing up, eating Mom's cooking. I am most sure there is no other dressing like Mom's dressing tasted. This year, I am headed to Piccadilly Restaurant for my favorite foods! The grown children will be spending the holiday with the in-laws, to be fair. For those who are in the same situation, it is a great alternative. Piccadilly offers a great hand-served buffet all year long. My plate will be loaded with turkey and dressing, carrot soufflé, cranberry sauce, green beans, a roll, and the best chocolate mousse pie!
