"The State Botanical Garden of Georgia is a public educational facility operated under the auspices of the University of Georgia. It is a "living laboratory" for university students and faculty who utilize the collections and natural plant communities for studies in a variety of disciplines. The Garden is also a public garden for enjoyment by the general public who find beauty, knowledge and solitude in a garden setting." (http://www.uga.edu/botgarden/about.html)
Yesterday 3/28/07
I arrived in Atlanta at about 2pm, the Eisons were kind enough to come and pick me up. Mrs. Eison, Elliot and Anna were in the car, from the airport we went to Le Cordon Bleu in Tucker, GA. I wanted to see what the college was like. We arrived at the college where Chef Dahl was waiting outside the door to start our tour. The school was wonderful, I really loved it. When I was there I saw Chef Kanadu (chef from last year) and Chef Kazenske (from the first year I was here). I decided that Chef Dahl should be an official tour guide :).

After the college we went to the Atlanta Glass co. (don’t remember the name) we picked up some glasses for the Masters. Mrs. Eison is still one of the best cooks/chefs I know we had a great chicken Marinate with pesto spaghetti. Mr. Eison is one of the greatest grillers I know because the chicken was done to perfection! My Dad arrived at about 9:30 that night, about three minutes into his arrival Mrs. Eison already had a very profound question to ask him.
The Eisons have all grown! They are all looking fantastic and are all as hospitable as ever. Elise recently turned 14, she had her ears pierced as her 14th birthday treat. Mrs. Eison had hers pierced as well. Elliot is now a lizard not a monkey, he is up and climbing any tree he can. He still loves reading and playing board games. Anna is also grown. She likes telling jokes and she is following in the family footsteps with her hospitality. Lewis is four now, he is being taught potty training and seems to be doing great. He is still as cute as ever.
I will be leaving Saturday Morning to Check in with Chef Jay-Z for prep work at the Masters. It should be fun and I am looking forward to it.
