Any Green Bay Packers fan will immediately know what Husband & I were doing in Kiln, Mississippi. On our way to Meridian, Mississippi to surprise my oldest brother for his 60th birthday (about 25 of us made the trip from Wisconsin and gathered on his patio in the dark on the night of his birthday to yell "surprise") we decided to take a little detour and pay homage to the greatest football player in the world. Of course we also had to find the library. While Husband was taking a shot of me outside the library, a woman came upon us and exuding that southern hospitality you hear so much about offered to take a picture of us both. It's probably the only libshot that includes Husband. As soon as we opened our mouths she said "oh, ya'll not from here are you, you must be from Wisconsin". We had two more people say that to us in the short time we were in this town. There have been hundreds (or more) of Wisconsinites who have made the trip, and the denizens welcome each and every one. If you're a Brett Favre fan and you get within 100 miles of Kiln, go visit. And be sure and stop by the nice library.

Hi Ellen-- I am loving your travelogues!
Go! Pack! Go! Even when they play poorly like the 2nd half last Sunday night against, of all teams, Da Bearz. This blogging thing is kind of fun especially to see the variety that people are doing in Project Play. I'm enjoying reading everyone's blog.
