HOME AWAY FROM HOME

NASHVILLE, TENNESEE

I love Nashville. I enjoyed living here so much. I must admit I moved here "kicking and screaming"...and then left "kicking and screaming" when we moved back to Atlanta 7 years later. It's a beautiful, beautiful place and we love to come back for  a visit, although I wish we were here this time for fun instead of torture dental surgery. LOL

We had a good trip. It seemed to fly by...for me anyway because I had lots of little projects to work on in the car and some good magazines.
Our home away from home sure is nice. Our hotel is very new and soooo nice. (That's Miss Daisy's travel crate...she's a happy girl to be here with us.)

Our dentist (and his wife) is a personal friend (hence once more reason we don't mind making trips here) and we're looking forward to having dinner with them in just a bit.

Hugs!

DROP INSTEAD OF GAIN?

I guess this cartoon show how most of us feel around this time...including the turkeys LOL! I know I've been doing a lot of bike riding.

Since I'll be having dental surgery just two days before Thanksgiving, maybe...just maybe, I'll drop a pound or two this year instead of gaining. I think I'll be on a "soft food" diet for a few weeks. Darn. At least I won't be stuffing myself this year.

Our bags are packed and so is Miss Daisy's and I think she knows she's going. Our girl loves to go. We've nicknamed her the "Go Go Girl". Thankfully, she travels well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

WORRIES BE GONE

“You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future”

~ Unknown

This is a quote I need to keep nearby because I must admit I find something every.single.day to worry about in our planning of the wedding. So silly. Yet, so hard to change. If only I could tie those worries to a balloon and just let them go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some good news:

1. George went to the doctor today and he's doing very well. The doctor said he could gradually resume his activities at a careful pace. Hmmmm...I guarantee you he will be on his bike tomorrow. Men!

2. Bree found her bridesmaid dresses today. Yeah! This was a big deal for us because we needed to know the colors before we could procede with flowers, invitations, etc.

3. My former tennis partner does Calligraphy and has agreed to address the invitations and help with ordering them as well as the napkins and other supplies. She does gorgeous work! We are so excited. She still lives in Nashville so I will meet with her on Monday afternoon since we will be there for my dental surgery on Tuesday (3 dental implants). Yuck to the surgery, but I can't wait to see her again.

4. We're going to my sister Karen's for Thanksgiving this year. It's always a special time for our family. I sure hope I'll feel like eating after my surgery.

What's YOUR plans for Thanksgiving?

Hugs!

SENIOR DISCOUNT

I cracked up when I found this cartoon! Sad to say, but I think I saw this lady on our beach. LOL

Speaking of swimsuits...I'm packing mine up. I don't think I'll need them anymore this year.

Brrrrrr...it's not quite 50 degrees this morning! It might be cold, but it's an absolutely gorgeous day. I was hoping to ride my bike to tennis. I still will if there's no wind. We shall see. I'll definitely need my tights though.

Happy Day everyone!




Hugs!

LONG NIGHT

I just knew I was going to get a good night's sleep last night. I did a 20 mile bike ride all by myself yesterday and it felt so good. Last night, I didn't feel overtired at all. BUT....

I planned a wedding all.night.long!

Of course, I can't remember "diddly squat" this morning!

Hugs!

WE TELL ALL

I had to laugh when I saw this cartoon, especially after my blog post yesterday. We have so many ways at our fingertips to "tell it all". Nothing is sacred anymore, it seems. LOL

Hugs!

TRUE LOVE

Warning - gross stuff ahead!

...but, projectile vomiting...that's a whole 'nother "ball of wax"!
I needed...really NEEDED... help from someone, anyone. Someone like the crime scene techs would have been perfect.

Bless his heart, George was one sick guy on Friday night. The whole thing only lasted seconds...mere seconds. But the clean-up...HOURS!

The wall. The baseboard. The artwork on the wall. Miss Daisy's bed beside our bed. The bedside table, top to bottom. Everything on the bed....bedskirt, sheets, blanket, comforter, mattress pad. The floor. George...and everything he had on, including those lovely stockings they want you to wear for the first 24 hours after surgery. Everything. Covered. It was bad...real bad!

He tried to tell me, the nurses, the doctors and anyone who would listen that he could take the pain but he couldn't take pain medicine. No one listened. We all thought we knew what was best for him.

Wrong!

Thankfully, he almost immediately felt better. And thankfully he was sitting on the side of the bed instead of laying flat so I think that kept him from ripping open any of his stitches. Once he was in clean clothes, he promptly fell asleep...on the couch. Me...I spent the next 3 hours (midnight to 3am) doing what the crime scene techs needed to do. Plus lots and lots of laundry. And then I took another shower before I literally crashed.

I sure don't remember saying "I promise to love, honor, obey and clean up your....."

Oh, the things we do for love!

Hugs!
