Emily Jones: Life can turn on a dime-or is it a dollar?

April 24, 2013

I was all hyped up to gush about last week’s Super Bulldawg Weekend and the Cotton District Arts Festival which delivered a picture perfect weekend. We got to tour the new Mississippi State football complex which includes a weight room par excellence. It’s got to be the finest facility of its type in the country, and I don’t know how any football recruit could resist gobbling up a scholarship to play with the Dawgs.

Summerall: A picture is worth...

April 20, 2013

I was thinking some more about taking pictures of our children especially when they are babies. There is nothing they can do that you don’t think is amazing. When they first arrive, you are overcome with delight at every breath this tiny little person takes. You feel you must chronicle their every minute and every movement. So you do. Little knowing that you are not only taking photos that you and your family can go back through and remember, you are building up blackmail for when they start dating. Oh yeah!!
