Camp Desoto dropoff

We headed for Mentone, Alabama, Friday afternoon to drop Jane Gray off at Camp Desoto.  This is her first summer there, and she is so excited!  We met the Hursts and some camp friends at the Wildflower Cafe Friday night and then got settled in to our hotel.  We woke up early the next morning, ate a quick breakfast at the Waffle House, and then headed up the mountain.  We got Jane Gray's cabin assignment and were thrilled to discover her cabinmates Aubrey Taylor and Betsy Lindsey, one of Daddy's Alpine friend's daughters.  We also have connections with Jane Gray's counselors, Caroline Battle and Priestley Worsham (both Ole Miss girls) - Mommy went to Ole Miss with Caroline's sister, Allison, and Priestley is from Corinth and lives next door to Sallie Kate Williams, who was in Mommy's pledge class.  These sweet girls made Mommy feel much better about leaving Jane Gray at camp for 3 1/2 weeks!  Mommy's sorority big sister, Martha, also has a daughter at Desoto who is Jane Gray's age - Gigi Griggs.  We know that Jane Gray is going to have so much fun and make lifelong friends!
