Mother's Day

A mother/daughter picture for Mother's Day. We went to church and had lunch at a little restaurant out in the country that mom likes.

And this is my "victory dress" - I've lost 10 pounds on weight watchers and this dress finally fits. I'm very pleased - but I've got 5 more pounds to go!

Galaxy of Stars Con - Jackson

Last weekend I attended Galaxy of Stars in Jackson, MS. It was a small con. And we were up close and personal with the stars. There were only about 200 people there. It was great. The stars are out of contract now and really, um, said what was on their minds. Some of them using more French than others !! But it was a ton of fun. We got to see Tim Russ (Tuvok), Marina Sirtis (Troy), Dominic Keating (Malcom Reed), Garrett Wang (Harry Kim), John Billingsley (Dr. Pholx) and his wife Bonita Friederecy (guest spots), and Natalija Nogulich (the Admiral). Everyone was great!

Here's pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/Melanie.Simmonds/GalaxyOfStarsJackson altho most of them didn't come out due to the lighting.
