Wednesday night

I'm having some camera/computer issues - as in they're not speaking to each other, and therefore, at present cannot extract the 200 some odd pics of the recent weeks that are being held hostage on my camera - so all that to say sorry, yet another boring text post

I'm trying to be more diligent in posting

We had a spectacular thunderstorm here late this afternoon, that gave way to a lovely gentle rain that is continuing even now - 6 hours later - my plants smile & soak it up

Packing continues in the slow meticulous way I love to do it. What I really love to do during this process is get rid of stuff. My Goodwill pile is growing steadily. We moved here to Savannah a year ago - anything I run across that we haven't used in this past year is getting the axe.

I'm thinking of my youngest sister Sarah tonight - she is leaving home for the very first time tomorrow. Sarah will begin a RN program at Gordon College in Barnesville, Ga. Mom & Beth will be helping her move into her dorm room tomorrow. My Mother will soon have an empty nest - for the first time in 31 years!

I'm off to sew. A little project I'm just wrapping up...

9 years today!

It's our anniversary today! Easy to remember which year we're on too - since we were married in 2000. Dinner out & then over to the rec fields to let Levi run out his last bit of energy before bed. :)

August anew

It's been a long while since I've been here - Or online at all for that matter.

Joe, Levi, & I went to St. Augustine, Florida for a few days with the Burnam's - then Levi & I turned around and made the long trip home to Wildwood, Georgia. All said & done I've been away for most of the last two weeks.

I've returned to a home that's in motion. Our lease is up here at midnight 16Sep, and we've decided to take the window of opportunity & change the scenery. And so the packing has begun. As well as the deep cleaning a 'For Rent' sign in your yard demands.

Joe's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Joe!! 34 today.
Levi & I are getting the house all ready for when Joe gets home. Levi keeps saying 'Joe surprise' :) Happy birthday baby, love you!

4th of July Weekend: Jennings & Cairo

OMG!

you gotta double click the pic for a closer look - pretty freakin' fabulous - this is a crocheted pantsuit & matching hat!

Cicada

it's rained for days here - it must be so lovely to emerge with a fresh new body - a new beginning, a new look - into a world dripping with rainwater, dappled in morning sunlight

Weekend trips/visits

It's been a long while - too long. Busy long weekends have made little downtown to post.

We went Athens the weekend before last - a three day weekend spent there. Joe was a groomsman in a wedding & we had some cleaning up to do around our Athens house, since the renters moved out. Also, my old Subaru needed to be towed off - I sold it to the local scrap yard.

This was the first car I ever bought myself - while in Athens when I got my first 'real' job. It was a great car - we drove it everywhere - it's made the trip to Wyoming several times. It bit it at 230,000 miles - which was actually quite disappointing for a Subi. A crack in the engine block & the tranny went...

Athens - the corner of Milledge & White Hall

Only a little stress & insanity while there...

This last weekend, my parents & grandfather came for a 3-day weekend here. Joe took Grandaddy & my Dad out fishing on the coast.

we took Levi over to the hatchery here in Richmond Hill to one of the stock ponds, especially designed for children - he & Joe caught fish after fish

I'm packing again today - we're leaving for a 4-day weekend away for the long 4th of July weekend - we're headed to Jenning, Fl to visit Joe's folk's & then over to Cairo, Ga to celebrate Papa Bill's birthday.
