Happy Birthday, Jackie Scott!

Times Photos by Paul L. Schuetze

Attorney Jackie Scott turned 50 with a lot of aplomb!

She hosted a golden celebration at her southeast Shreveport home.

You want barbecue! There was barbecue. Finger lickin' good barbecue

A roasted pig! You got it.

Perfectly fried fish. It was on the plate, crispy on the outside, moist inside.

(We tried it all and it was all out of this world great.)

Something to drink. There were two bars

There was face painting.

Toe tapping saxaphone music on the patio. And band sounds under a tent.

And exquisite flowers to set the scene.

Dr. Ricky and Freda Jones were cooling off in the pool — with their feet in the pool.

Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover shed his coat when he stepped outside for, indeed, it was hot.

Shirley Culbert held court in the den; Gia Kosmitos and Julie Blewer in the kitchen area.

Ron and Rose Weems were working the crowd. (As you might guess, the place was filled with lawyers.)

It was an inside/outside do.

And a lot of fun.

What a way to turn 50.

Throw yourself a bash.

The photos in order show:
