"O Frabjous Day!"

"Callooh! Callay! so what could be as good?" Answer: a drive with Ya-Ya pals up Natchez Trace to Mississippi Arts and Craft Center. Frabjous day, frabjous exhibits: Choctaw baskets, iron sculptures, handmade furniture, wooden toys, spun shawls, decorated pottery, glass and silver jewelry--frabjous creations aplenty. Instructive, colorful books as well. Drive around Barnett Reservoir, coffee and browsing at Yellow Dog Bookstore, dinner at Nagoya (hibachi show, fab food), followed by chick flick extraordinaire: "P.S., I Love You." Toss-up as to which man we wanted for Hilary Swank: Gerard Butler (hunky dude), Harry Connick, Jr. (huggable cutie), or "William" Irish character (dimples to dive in, eyes to mesmerize). Cathy Bates gets Mother of the Year Award in this one. O frabjous day, semi-frabjous flick. Callooh, Callay, indeed.
