What a wonderful day I had touring an American made family company who has been in business for “92” years!!! Thank you to all those at Taylor Machinery. Rose Boxx, Lex Taylor, Robert Taylor, all the tour guides, employees, and everyone who made this such an exciting day!

What an awesome day I had yesterday! I had the privilege to meet Julie Boit, a nurse practitioner, who lives in Kenya and has created a community of compassion. We visited the Batson's Children Hospital and the Kids Kastle in Canton, a beautiful facility.

I enjoyed the opportunity to speak to the Harrison County Republican Women, Dr. Mary Graham, and other staff at the MS Gulf Coast Community College, and members of the MS Federation of Republican Women on Monday. Thank you all for the warm welcome and fellowship.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of welcoming the attendees to the 3rd Annual MS Suicide Prevention Symposium which was held at the Jackson Marriott. We can fight suicide by Shattering the Silence because Suicide is the secret you shouldn't keep.

Yesterday I had the awesome privilege to tour and read to the children at Personal Pediatric Care – A Day Health Center for Medically Fragile children in McComb, MS. You ALL have a special place in my heart and prayers.

I was honored to FINALLY host the Garden Club ladies for lunch today as a thank you to them for the work they have done with the beautiful cutting garden at the Mansion and for their generous contributions throughout the years to the Mansion Foundation Landscape Fund.

Recently, I got the opportunity to visit with some of our precious veterans at Jackson Veterans Home. It was an added pleasure to see Stacey Pickering, former State Auditor, now Head of MS Veterans Affairs Board.

Neshoba County Fair was HOT but the fellowship was well worth it! "Thank you" to all who provided lunch and dinner. A great day filled with fun times and Mississippi's most hospitable people.

So enjoyed attending and speaking at the Miss Hospitality Farewell Brunch in Hattiesburg. They honored me with the Women of Distinction Award. Each of these beautiful ladies deserve an award for their role in representing their counties and our wonderful state.

Thank you to The Children’s Center Rehabilitation Hospital in Oklahoma for hosting us today. We can’t wait to follow in your footsteps offering quality care to medically fragile children in Mississippi.

Thanks to Martha House for inviting me to speak at the Madison the City Chamber of Commerce Women Connect meeting. I was elated to receive a beautiful floral arrangement provided by Soiree Gifts and Floral. I also have to thank Bonefish Grill for a delicious meal.
