from the PUBLISHER

Over the past twenty-three years of publishing Bluffs & Bayous, we have covered many of life’s special moments, many unique experiences captured in the multiple and myriad stories and social scenes we have shared. Our May-June issue is no different as we highlight life’s moments with grand balls, a birthday celebration, family member discoveries, national television debuts, musical experiences, and friendships forged through the years from supper-club gatherings.

My personal family has experienced exciting moments of life lately through our welcoming a new baby (grandchild number 10) into our family in April and celebrating local southern traditions with two of my grandchildren serving as Queen and a Junior Royalty member during The Natchez Garden Club’s Magnolia Festival.

Over the past two months in our reading area, many events have flourished that I hope you have enjoyed. As we soon approach midway of 2023, we recall the multitude of life’s moments that the year’s first trimester already has offered; and our Up & Coming calendar offers multiple choices to take in life’s soon-to-be-memorable moments during these upcoming months.

May and June bring both closures and new beginnings for many of our families whose children, seemingly far too quickly, have steered through various stages of educational development in their lives, causing us to wonder, “Where has the time gone?” So let’s all be sure now to savor these slices of life, to cherish and celebrate daily all of life’s precious moments along and beyond the Mississippi.
