Listen for the sizzle

A nice day! George, Bree and I met Mom and Sherry at Pauline's for bagels. Then George and Bree went shopping in one direction and the rest of us went to Beals one day sale. We met back home later for games, happy hour and dinner. Fun! Watched a beautiful sunset. You can hear it sizzle when it hits the water! Really! Tonight we're going to watch "The Ref"...so funny! George and I have seen it many times, but love it. Hope Bree does too.

Shopping and Games

Bree and I had lunch at Johnny Rockets and did some shopping before Mom and Sherry arrived. Once they were here and settled, Bree was anxious to play Mexican Train...so much fun! Lots of laughing! Dinner tonight was at The Back Porch, and then we headed back and played the Train some more.

Christmas (early) with family

We had our big family Christmas party at Mom's on Saturday. Everyone was there...chaos, but fun. We had our family party at Eric and Angela's on Sunday. Another fun day. I feel so blessed.

VERY Good News!

Good news! I finally heard from the doctor's office. No meniscus tear!!! I do have a small Baker's cyst and arthritis in the knee though. She is getting me an appt. to see an orthopedist next week to see what he suggest. I am to pick up my MRI film so that I can take it with me. She said my cyst is small and it might just rupture on it's own and nothing more will be needed. She said I could play tennis if I wanted, but to stop if it hurts too much. Hopefully, I'll only need a cortisone shot…maybe some physical therapy. I'm just sooooooooo relieved that I don't have a tear!

The car is loaded and I mean LOADED for our trip tomorrow to see the family for our Christmas celebrations at Mom's tomorrow and at Eric and Angela's on Sunday. Bree's driving in too. I'm so excited to see her! AND the entire family! Wow...hope I can sleep tonight!

80 Minutes of Almost Heaven!

I used my massage gift certificate from last Christmas (don't ask) this afternoon. It was wonderful....80 minutes of almost Heaven!

I finally heard from the doctor's office right at closing time (naturally), but it was only to say that they had received the results from the MRI, but Dr. Mike had not looked it over yet and was already out of the office. I should hear something tomorrow. Ugh!
Frustrated me so that I need another massage :-)

Starting to think about our trip

I didn't hear from the doctor about the MRI yet...bummer! My knee feels the same...just weird, but not hurting. No tennis until I know it's okay, which is so stange since I've been playing 5 days a week for some time now. Every day seems like it's a weekend since I'm not having to run out the door first thing in the mornings. George and I did our normal walk yesterday for the first time and I did fine, so we walked again today, but this time at Sandestin.

We went over to the new house and walked through since we close on it tomorrow. Feels weird...guess this is really going to happen...moving, I mean??

I spent alot of time off and on today getting things together (in my mind and for real) for the trip to Australia. January 9th will be here before we know it. Getting excited.

MRI

I went for my MRI today. It wasn't too bad since it only took 20 minutes, I was able to keep on my clothes, and I wasn't totally in the "tunnel" (my head and shoulders were out..thank goodness!). It sure was noisy though. They said the doctor would receive the report within 48 hours, which would be Thursday afternoon. The technician said she's not a doctor and can't really say what is wrong, but she thought I would be happy. She didn't think she saw what they were looking for??? The doctor indicated to me that it might be a tear in the meniscus. The tech said there was fluid and "other things". She wouldn't say more. Hope this means good news. I don't want to get my hopes up, but can't help it. If I don't hear from Dr. Mike tomorrow, I will call his office on Thursday morning and start bugging :-)

Kinda Down Today

Feeling kinda down today. Can't play tennis since my knee isn't right and I miss playing and seeing my friends. I have my MRI tomorrow afternoon to find out what's going on. Fingers crossed! Anyway, I've spent the day finishing up shopping for the final stocking stuffers. We went over to the new house to check it out since we close on it on Thursday. We won't move until we sell here and we won't list it until Spring probably, but I'm kinda down even thinking of moving. Just fixed a drink and watched the sunset over the beach and the water. So beautiful! Sure gonna miss being able to do this! :-(

I love Christmas!

I love, love, love the smell of our real Christmas tree as soon as we walk in the door! I love the lights on the trees and looking at all the ornaments we've collected over the years. I love stuffing the stockings and wrapping the gifts. I love wearing the silly Christmas hats - Santa, reindeer antlers, elf, etc. I love listening to all our Christmas CDs...especially Alabama's Christmas which we've listened to every year since the kids were little. I love our tradition of working a Santa puzzle the week before Christmas and baking cookies with Bree, Mom and Sherry wearing our silly hats. I love using my Spode Christmas china for all meals eaten at home during the Christmas season. Christmas can be stressful if I don't plan ahead, but I try hard to stay on track so I can enjoy it all and this year seems especially wonderful.

Breakfast with Pauline

George went with us for breakfast to say goodbye since the "girls" were leaving this morning. We decided not to embarrass him any more than we could, so we didn't sing our planned song, but instead we just went in wearing our silly "hats" shouting "Merry Christmas!". Pauline (and all her customers) loved it! Fun! (I think George still thought we were crazy...oh well)

It was hard saying goodbye. It's been a fun week. Mom and Sherry will be back though in 10 days to spend Christmas here. "Other Mother" might drive down after Christmas.

GIRLS JUST GOTTA HAVE FUN!

The photos say it all....Girls just gotta have fun!


(Practicing for our song to sing tomorrow when we go see my friend, Pauline, at our favorite bagel shop)

Eating, Eating, and More Eating!

Sherry, Mom, Me and Bet aka "Other Mother" at The Back Porch

We're always eating when the "Girls" are here! Morning, noon, afternoon and night! We started the day with pepper jelly and pork loin on biscuits. Then they went shopping and had lunch while I went to my Book Club luncheon. In the afternoon, we had snack food with our wine over games. Dinner tonight was at The Back Porch followed by donuts at Krispy Kreme. Then more games. Wow....I'm stuffed and feel kinda sick after eating the sweet donuts. Yuk! But we laugh enough it should burn some calories...oh how I wish!

Trouble with my knee

I asked the doctor about my knee problem yesterday when I saw him for my thyroid results (which were normal). He is scheduling an MRI. I might have a tear or nick in my meniscus! Not what I wanted to hear! He said it might just be a little one since I'm not in any pain...just feels weird. We'll see what the MRI shows and then go from there. He said I could play tennis if I use the slip- on brace I have, but I've decided to get subs until I know more. Sure don't want to risk further injury with the Holidays coming up and also our trip to Australia/New Zealand. Getting older is no fun!

THIS SAYS IT ALL

George and I saw one of these in a shop in Cashier's on our trip recently to South Carolina and ordered one right away. There were 18 different sayings you could choose from, but this is the one we loved and thought so true for us. It arrived earlier than we thought it would. I hung it right away in our bedroom. I love it!

A Perfect, Fun Day

Wow...a beautiful day. The ocean water was incredible! Cold but, oh so nice! I played tennis, although my knee bothered me so I couldn't run for every ball. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for a regular check-up, so I'll get his opinion. When I got home, Mom was cooking potato soup...one of my very favorites! So good. They all had bought me a bunch of my favorite flowers...astromeria. I felt like it was my birthday or something. They spoil me every time they come. I was cooking a turkey breast in my slow cooker for dinner so we all came over to my house so we could enjoy looking out at the ocean. Other Mother even layed out and napped on the balcony. She was so happy. Mom, Sherry and I played Phase Ten. Once "OM" came back in, we all started riding The Mexican Train again. We laugh so much when we're all together. I love them all so much.

Riding The Mexican Train

A cold rainy morning so no tennis which was good since I've hurt my knee and needed another day of rest and also since "the girls" are in town. We rode the "Mexican train" all day...lots of fun and laughs. I love having them here.

We love our church!

A beautiful day! Church today was special...a good message and the music was unbelievable! We love our church!

Too Busy Lately To Breath, Much Less Blog

I've literally been too busy to be on the computer this past week! I planned a party for Saturday night for a few of our friends and my goal was to finish the decorating (including putting up two trees - one silk and one live), get all the gifts wrapped and under the tree and do my food shopping and cooking for the party by Saturday morning so I could enjoy the party. I even decorating the lobby downstairs and the lobby on our floor. Plus Mom, Sherry and "Other Mother" were coming today after lunch and I wanted to be able to enjoy their visit this week and not be torn about Christmas shopping and decorating. I did it! But....I worked like crazy every day and was up late every night. Whew! Worth it though...the house looked great and the party was a success! Mom, Sherry and "Other Mother" arrived today and it's been nice! Nothing like planning a party to get things done. I need to plan a party about every 3 months...hehehe!

Yellow Tears

No tennis this morning because of rain. I was disappointed, but God always knows what's best for us...I truly needed those extra hours for all I wanted to do today.

George and I headed out for bagels. I called and was able to move my eye doctor appointment up from the afternoon to the morning so I could only have to get out once. Great news!!! The tear duct plugs she put in recently were still in and my dry eyes have improved considerably! She did some test where she put yellow drops in my eyes. By the time I got to the car and looked, it was scary. I looked like a wolf....very yellow eyes.

George and I stopped by to say one more goodbye to Bob and Jennifer. So hard to say goodbye to such good friends. Yellow tears streaked down my cheeks as we drove away. I'm gonna miss them both in so many ways, but especially Jennifer's hugs. She gives the best hugs and always knows when I need one.

Thanks goodness, I had a busy day ahead. We stopped by the storage unit and picked up our Christmas decorations...it took two trips! The rest of the day (literally) was spent beginning to decorate and wrap. I love it when it's finished, but Lord this is hard work!

Goodbye Bob and Jennifer!

Our friends, Bob and Jennifer, will be moving to Atlanta in the morning. We met them, along with Jack and Linda, for barbecue tonight. We're definitely going to miss them! What good, good friends! Kinda sad tonight!

Home again - energized

Mom cooked another big breakfast...scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits. Spoiled again!

Bree left at the same time we did...around 8AM our time. Rainy, yucky day, but we all got home safe. It's good to be home. I spent my time in the car making lists of things I needed/wanted to do this week, including planning a party Saturday night for my tennis buddies, decorating for Christmas and wrapping, wrapping, wrapping all the gifts we've bought! It's gonna be a busy week but I feel energized and ready!!!!!!

Going out to dinner later with Bob and Jennifer and Jack and Linda.

Shopping and Harry Potter

Mom made us french toast for breakfast....yummy....amazing how something so simple can make you feel so good!

Bree, George and I headed out to do some Christmas shopping and lunch. Afterwards, we went to see Harry Potter....our tradition with Bree every year when we're together for Thanksgiving. Karen and Rusty showed up too so we all sat together.

Mom made my favorite meal for dinner - pork chops, rice with tomato gravy, peas and rolls. She spoils me!

Joint Birthday Party

A fun day at Landon and Kaley Grace's joint party. Kaley Grace recently turned four and Landon will turn six on December 7th. They were so cute and excited about the party. Sydney Anne was good too and didn't try to "steal the show". It's so much fun to see them interact with each other.

Afterwards, Mom and Sherry, Bree, George and I stayed for awhile to visit and play games and then we all went to Longhorn's for dinner before we had to drive back to Columbus.

These last two days have been so nice...surrounded by family...I'm a lucky girl!

Thanksgiving 2005

Woke up to the smell of turkey and dressing. Mom was already in the kitchen cooking dressing, squash casserole and green beans. Yummy!

Once we were dressed and the cars loaded, we headed to Karen and Rusty's. Appetizers started around 11:00 and we had lunch around 1:30. What a crowd...I think there was 38 of us!:

Karen, Rusty, Jarred, Jason, Jamie, Cameron and Mason
Mom and Sherry
Bree, Me and George
Eric, Angela, Landon, Kaley Grace, Sydney Anne
George, Jan, Dalton, Carson, Karrigan
Kim, Mike, Kristin, Elizabeth, Zac
Kim F., Amanda, Brandon, Trinity, Mike's daughter and Amanda's boyfriend (Brittany was out of town with her boyfriend)
Pete came just for awhile (Diane couldn't leave her Mom)
Angie, Terry, Trent
Theresa

Good food, lots of laughs, kids running everywhere!

Afterwards, George and I drove to Atlanta to spend the night at Eric's so we could help with the party tomorrow.

A good day!

In Columbus for Thanksgiving

Got everything loaded and left for Columbus around noon. We had a nice trip and arrived at Mom's shortly before Bree. So good to see her! Wow...amazing how good it feels! Mom too. We went out for pizza with Karen and Rusty and Theresa. Afterwards, Bree and George went downtown to see Zac and his band perform at The Loft. I stayed at Mom's and helped her put up her Christmas tree. They said it was amazing how much the band had improved. Wish I could have gone too, but I'm glad I was able to get Mom's tree up. I put my turkey breasts in the slow cooker just before going to bed.

Busy before our trip

Tennis, lunch, stopped to visit with Carol (she's doing great), manicure, grocery shopping, packing, laundry, dinner. A full, busy day before we leave tomorrow for our Thanksgiving trip. I'm pumped about getting to be with my family, especialy Bree. Seems like I haven't seen her in so long.

Lucky Me

I got a phone call late last night that my friend, Carol, was taken to the hospital after collapsing at Jeanette's house. It turned out she had food poisoning...an extreme case. Scary since she lives alone. Thank goodness she was around others when it happened. Jeanette's husband even did CPR! Lucky me because she invited George and I to go to lunch on Sunday after church with her and another friend. We didn't since we had other plans. Wow...knowing me, I would have ordered the same thing she did and I would have been in the hospital with her. Carol was released and is home now. I talked with her later in the afternoon and she sounded pretty good.

Since it was a rainy day and both of us didn't have tennis, George and I headed to Pensacola to do some Christmas shopping. We had alot of success and it was fun spending the day together.

A Rainy Sunday

George and I had breakfast at The Diner on the way to church. Church was awesome. We planned to do our walk after church, but the rain started so we came home. I ended up curled up in my reading chair and eventually took a good nap. So nice sometimes to nap in the afternoon. I went to Target tonight and did a little more Christmas shopping. Wow...even with the list in hand, it's not easy finding toys these days. So much out there. With no Toys R Us here, it's kinda hard. But...Aunt Bree to the rescue...she going to look around tomorrow for some hard to find items. Since it's still raining tonight, I doubt either one of us will have tennis tomorrow so George and I might just take a trip tomorrow to Pensacola or Fort Walton to shop some more.

Fun Night with Nikki and Jamie

A beautiful day. One of the girls couldn't play this morning so George played with us. We had fun...lots of laughs. Afterwards, we all went to Jim & Nicks for barbecue and then George and I took a long walk around Sandestin. He came home to watch football and I went Christmas shopping. Kinda exciting to get some of it behind me. I love shopping for the grandchildren. Tonight we went out to dinner with Bree's friends, Nikki and Jamie, who were here for a long weekend. What a cute, fun couple! Wish Bree was here too. She's actualy in Memphis visiting Becky. I'm looking forward to church in the morning. Heading to bed now to read a little bit. Looking forward to that too!

A long day

Got up at 5:15 since I went to bed so early last night. Started wrapping some Christmas gifts and before I knew it, it was time for breakfast. No tennis today so I made a big breakfast. Nice sometimes. Went shopping and then met my friend, Donna, for lunch. It's the first time I've seen her since Jeremiah's funeral. So good to spend some quality time with her. Tonight we had dinner at The Summerhouse with our friends, Richie and Karen, from Atlanta. A nice day, but I'm ready for bed early again.

Sleepy

Definitely cold this morning, but we played tennis...real women! Afterwards, did a little Christmas shopping and bought my pansies for the balcony. Came home and got them planted. Wow, the ocean was gorgeous and the air was crisp. Felt great to be outside with my hands in the dirt. Kinda hard to pull out my begonias though since they still looked so good, but I needed the pots and I knew they wouldn't last much longer anyway since we're having some close to freezing temps at night. Made spagetti for dinner. Took a nice warm bath. Sleepy now and ready for bed early.

Talking at Starbucks

The tennis courts were just too wet for us to play today, so the four of us girls decided to go have coffee at Starbucks. Two and a half hours later, we were still sitting there talking! Amazing how fast the time flew. I'm really enjoying my tennis buddies.

Tonight John and Tania and George and I went over to Bob and Jennifer's to see the handpainted stools she recently finished. Wow! After drinks, the six of us went to Outback for dinner. A fun night. Got home in time to watch "Invansion" and did some laundry and wrapped some Christmas gifts.

Brrrrrrrrrrr...it's getting cold. Finally feeling like fall/winter. I love it. Probably won't in the morning when we try to play tennis in it though.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

I woke up feeling better. We were able to play two sets of tennis before the rain came. Drove home wet even though it didn't even rain where we live...so weird. I guess it was because I was feeling better, but I jumped right into the Christmas spirit. I showered and changed and then got my list of stocking stuffers I've bought so far and headed out the door to shop for more. I've asked all the kids for their wishlist for the grandkids, so hopefully I'll get alot done early once I hear from them. George and I went out for pizza and salad and wine tonight...yummy. A good day.

Monday

Still not feeling good. My upper stomach hurts and I can feel it in my back too. I played tennis, but was glad when it was finally over. I called my GYN doctor's office and they called back and said my symptoms sound like it might be my gall bladder, so they have scheduled me an ultra sound this Saturday afternoon. I have to drink 32 ounces of water right before the test without going to the bathroom...yuk! She also wants me to go see my primary care physician as soon as I can. I called his office this afternoon, but only got a recording. Hopefully, I'll get in to see them tomorrow.

Feeling Yucky

Still loving our new church! George and I took clothes to change into afterwards so we could do lunch, get in a walk and then do a little Christmas shopping. Didn't get to walk though since it looked like rain (never did though). Haven't felt good for a few days now...stomach and back ache. Came home and took a nap. Didn't accomplish much tonight...just feeling yucky. I think I'll call my doctor tomorrow and try to make an appointment. Too much to do to be sick!

A Day With Beth

Beth's last day here....boo hoo! She has to leave early in the morning. We had a great day though. It was gorgeous weather, so I put the top down and we drove to Seaside and Grayton to shop, explore and have lunch. Lots of fun. George wanted to watch football and "gel" all day so he told us to do our thing. We decided to stay in tonight and watch a movie...a really good one - "Crash"...wow, really makes you think about "stuff". We picked up shrimp salad and fruit salad for dinner. I'm so glad Beth is feeling good and we've had a good visit.

First Day Home Always Busy

Left home at 7:30 and didn't get home until 5:00...tennis, lunch, carwash, eye doctor appt. (she put puntal plugs in my tear ducts trying to help with the extreme dry eyes), manicure, pedicure, grocery store. Hurried in the door and quickly showered and dressed for a party tonight. Fun, but we didn't stay long. Afterwards spent some time with Beth at Starbucks. Exhausted so I'm off to bed!

Home again!

Home tonight...tired...long day. Drove from Keowee Key to Atlanta and had lunch with Jack and Linda. So nice to see them and catch up a little. Did some shopping at Northpoint Mall. Driving home seemed to take forever. Beth is here through Sunday, so she met us at The Cracker Barrel for dinner. Ready for bed now!

Last Day

We really cheated and had breakfast in - huge cinnamon rolls I bought last night at Ingle's Bakery...so yummy. Then, we took the walk around the Keowee Key walking trail trying to walk them off! We drove into Ensley to meet with the interior decorators who did the model home at The Reserve. Two very nice ladies. Ensley is very close to Greenville so we drove there for lunch and walked all along Main Street. It was a beautiful fall day...just perfect for strolling and exploring. Afterwards, we stopped in Anderson...not too impressive. We came back to the cottage at Keowee Key to rest up and then went to the Keowee Key Country Club for dinner. I'm so thankful George likes to explore just like me. Another nice day. Leaving tomorrow for home. Planning to stop in Atlanta for lunch with Jack and Linda.

Fun with Cousin Joyce

Two pics from the walking trail in Keowee Key - beautiful!

Me and My "Cuz" Joyce

Another good day. Slept late and then went to breakfast at a small "hole in the wall" concrete building restaurant called Mountain View. The best big breakfast and cheap too! We then went to The Reserve and checked out our new property. They have begun clearing the lot...exciting. We ate lunch with David, our sales person, and had a nice visit. We shopped around RamCat Alley in Seneca and then returned to Keowee Key. We did our 3 mile walk on the walk along the shoreline enjoying the beautiful show of leaves! Tonight we met my cousin, Joyce, and her son, Jeff, for dinner in Clemson at Pixie and Bills. Good steaks! It was so nice getting to spend time with them.

Trip to Mountains in South Carolina

Leaves in South Carolina...we picked the perfect time to see them!

Believe it or not...our meal for the 2 of us at the Dillard House in Dillard, GA!

It was hard leaving the kids, but at least we had some snuggle time before breakfast. We left around 9:30 or so and began our adventure. We drove from Atlanta to Dillard, Ga and ate at the famous Dillard House. Unbelievable food and LOTS of it. (see photo for proof) You don't order anything but your drink. They just start bringing the food...so much it's a sin! We had fried chicken, roasted chicken, barbecue ribs, ham, salisbury steak, lima beans, green beans, cream corn, squash casserole, cabbage casserole, baked apple, fried green tomatoes, coleslaw, apple/walnut salad, potato salad, corn bread, rolls, biscuits and then blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert! Our bill was $37.00 for the two of us. They offer take-out boxes for the leftovers too. Yum Yum. We then drove to Highlands, North Carolina...what a charming little town! Then to Cashiers, North Carolina...cute, but not the same as Highlands. The drive EVERYWHERE was absolutely gorgeous...our timing for seeing the leaves was perfect. What a show! We arrived in Keowee Key in Salem, South Carolina around 6PM and unloaded the car and then went into Seneca for dinner. A very nice day. Our tummies are full and our hearts are happy.

Things I'm Thankful For Today

Two serious wrestlers against Granddad while sister watches TV

Today I feel thankful for:

Hugs from my grandson when I tell him I need some loving.

Watching the leaves fall outside the window as I'm snuggling on the couch with 3 little people.

A small Baby Ruth candy bar taken out of someone's Halloween bag. Yum!

A good, long, warm shower as I hear the 3 little people laugh and play with Granddad.

Getting to be the official referee for the wrestling match with Granddad. I got to make the bell noises and introduce the wrestlers. A very important job.

Listening as my grandson reads a book to me....a new and exciting experience. I'm impressed and overwhelmed with love as I watch him in action.

Reading chapters from my own book curled up on the couch during "quiet time".

Turtle ice cream.

Eric and Angela's safe trip home.

Getting to share in their bedtime ritual of "thankfuls", prayers and a family group hug.

A FULL DAY

Today we got to go to Landon's soccer game. It was lots of fun. Landon scored two goals. His team won 5 to 2. His games only last about 20 minutes. Short, but cute and fun to watch.

We came home and played awhile and also watched some old Popeye the Sailor cartoons. I think the kids loved them as much as George and I used to. Fun to see them again.

Memaw and Aunt Sherry came over after lunch and played and visited with us all. So good to have them here. The kids love their visits.

After a quick dinner of hot dogs and mac and cheese, we all took baths and did some serious snuggling.

I love being a MeMe!

Tired, but oh so happy!

Three tired little people!
Landon was the second one asleep, but the first to wake.
Sydney Anne was the first to fall asleep and the second to wake up.
Kaley Grace was the last to fall asleep and the last one awake. Woke up grumpy until I reminded her we were getting ice cream after dinner!


I'm the only one still up. I'm tired, but oh so happy! We had a wonderful day of playing with Landon, Kaley Grace and Sydney. We drove to Alpharetta this afternoon to meet up with George and Jan and the kids for dinner. All three kids fell asleep on the way.......I think we all wore each other out playing today. They were so cute sleeping in their carseats on the way. We had a good (but crazy, loud and chaotic) pizza dinner and then went to another place for ice cream afterwards. Landon, Kaley Grace and Sydney were so excited to see their coursins, Dalton, Carson and Karrigan. It makes me happy to see them all together and they are really fun to watch. Coming back home, all three fell asleep again! A busy, but definitely fun day.

Heading to Atlanta and then Lake Keowee

A beautiful day. Shirley and Laura Jane were here from Florence, AL and we had a wonderful tennis match along with Jo. Had to pack for our trip to Atlanta to keep the grandkids for the weekend and then we're heading to Lake Keowee on Monday. Looking forward to seeing the fall leaves. Can't wait to see the grandchildren!

Busy, Busy Always

I'm exhausted. Too busy lately. Our friends, Rudy and Sharon, are here visiting so we've been out every night. Lots of fun, but I'm tired. I'm still playing tennis every morning and trying to keep up with the chores, errands, etc. We're leaving tomorrow for Atlanta to keep the grandchildren so I'm excited. Need to pack though. After Atlanta, we're going to Lake Keowee to explore. Busy, busy!
