Blackstock Does Grenada

I consider myself extremely lucky when I have friends come all the way here to visit...or should I say extremely thankful that they have airline hook-ups. Jessica Blackstock, my dear friend from college, came to visit for 5 days and went as far as bringing special cake supplies with her so she could make her infamous Flag Cake for my birthday (or maybe it was really just to celebrate America's independence). We had a wonderful reunion together...showing her around my home for the last 2 years, taking her to the beach since the poor thing is land-locked in Oklahoma, making her jump off high waterfalls, teaching her the art of the mermaid impression, and eating at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that she read about in the Times. I love her to pieces and hope it's not another 4 years before we travel together again!
