Hello friends. Hope you all had the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years. I'm looking forward to 2007. I think it'll be a total smash. For those of you who had the pleasure of visiting 626 Version 1, you may recognize something in the top 2 pictures. Look very closely at the ceiling. Notice the boards? Well, this is the cypress ceiling that we had in the Back Room of the first 626. It was all taken down, stored in the Broadmoor back yard, and reinstalled in the new living room of Casa de Cassady. Pretty neat, huh? The kitchen and dining room ceilings will be pressed tin like we have in all the old stores in Oxford. My photographer tells me that some crown molding has been installed in some rooms, too. Swank!The last picture is of all of us on Christmas Even on Sanibel Island, Florida. Actually, this restaurant, the Mad Hatter, is on Captiva, a little but north of Sanibel. It was a splendid meal, but I am glad to be back in Mississippi. Face it: I am a homebody.
Hope St. Nick brought you all everything you asked for: Easy Bake Ovens, Kermit the Frog Puppets, and Cotton Candy Machines galore.

Sal,
I like your house and your blog. Keep up the good work. I am atempting to show Sara how to respond to your blog. I hope it gets there.
Your loving aunt,
Guess Who?
Sally,
I have been enjoying all of your (Sue's)pictures and comments on your blog and am not computer savvy enough to respond. Rose told me to be anonymous, so hope this works. We visited 626 back in the fall, and could tell the floor plan and were really impressed with the view. Can't wait to see the finished product. You have really helped make it a special event. You should be comforted to know that your parents have a really secure marriage - if they made it through Katrina and the building of a house, they should be set for the duration.
Keep nagging the photographer - I hear they are bricking something or other.
Happy New Year!
Sara Ellington Sorry about all the reallys.
