What the boys did while they were here

Labor Day 2012

Thought this was funny! We go through childhood twice and I really can't wait for my second one! LOL We gave Dutchess (our Schnauzer) a summer haircut today, she has very thick hair and with summer still very warm, and she loves to walk with Larry she needs to have to shorter hair so she doesn't overheat. We will let her leggings grow out for the cooler months. Tomorrow is Labor Day and we have no plans. Just gonna hang out. that is unless Larry is going to work.......I'm going to sleep in!!!! YAY...then some pool to exercise my knees... maybe grill some pork chops and have baked potatos for dinner. sounds good... later- may God bless you....

Visitors YAY!

Looking forward to having two of my grandsons for a couple weeks..... We are going to meet my daughter half way at my sister's house in Georgia. We have our pool ready and since we live on a lake the fishing will satisfy their need for that boy thing! LOL We found a campground about 45 minutes from the house so we can take them camping!(probably the whole reason the are excited about coming, but it's ok!) Kyle is 14 and Lane is 13, and I'm looking forward to having them here.

Waiting for our camper to come home...

I know that new things sometimes need to be fixed, so we are waiting for ours to be completed. First - the refrigerator (which is fixed now), then the air mattress deflated on Michael the very first night in a few minutes (it's been replaced now) and then there is the slide issue, it needs to be adjusted and now it's a waiting game.... Sooo ready to go camping again... Larry even booked for day after Christmas through New Years! Are we ready?? yea I think so :) Next Friday, I am going to KY for my parent's estate sale. Taking my older sister Susan with me so the trip won't be so long... maybe she won't fall asleep on my while I drive LOL... usually what I do when Larry and I leave for a camping trip.....Too funny huh? OK I'm rambling... enough for now

Working on getting the pool right

Larry and I have been working on our little Wal-Mart pool back to where we can swim a bit this summer. It's still a little limeaid looking but getting better. double shock, some acid to bring up PH and maybe take a sample to the pool store to see what else I need to put in..... only have one exam tomorrow so I will be able to do some running around...... we'll see what happens...

Michael body surfing! Larry is really getting good with his camera!

Spent the first part of the week at Holden Beach Pier and Campground, not much to look at, but the beach was amazing and Larry and Michael enjoyed swimming. The pier was pretty cool, especially the pictures Larry took from underneath! Other than the refrigerator going out, we had a good time relaxing.... now we have taken the camper to be repaired; not only did the refrigerator go out but the air mattress lost air when Michael tried to lay on it. Oh well, we will miss our camper for a bit but as long as it's under warranty we will take advantage of that!

College traveler on the way to Germany!

Stephen is on his way to Germany for three weeks! How exciting for him! He is going with several other students and learn about Germany's religious views, and several other topics. they will visit a monestary in Germany.... I am so excited for him... Larry and I met with Dale and Michelle at Cracker Barrel for breakfast/lunch, however it was not a happy experience! We waited for over 35 minutes for our order - which is very unusual for Cracker Barrel, so after speaking with the manager we discovered that he really didn't care - he said "I'm sorry" and "I'll get you another plate" well we left with Larry not having eaten..... we took Stephen to his meeting place and dropped him off (making sure he was set of course) He is presently on is way (flying) to Germany!!! We stopped at Columbia Riverwalk and were very impressed - a nice place to take bikes and maybe even a picnic lunch! Then, Larry and I stopped at Applebees to grab a bite to eat; we got there just after a graduation party left, the hostess said they were just going to clean some tables, but we waited for over 15 minutes, heck, the manager even said it would just be a minute or two! Well we ended up leaving after another 10 minutes! Another couple left right behind us. We ended up at Lizard Thicket restaurant and low and behold there was that same couple from Applebees! how funny was that! We filled our tummies and came home. Well enought for now, I haven't blogged only because I have been busy with my business... it's really doing well and I praise God for all He has done for us! Hae a great day!

A new ride

Well - as my Paramedical Exam Business gets going, Larry and I decided that I needed something dependable..(I was driving the '04 Ford Ranger and Larry was not comfortable with me driving it for various reasons)... This car has no bells and whistles but still roomy and this is what I chose! Nissan Altima had some models with all the fluff but I really didn't need anything but a reliable vehicle. Signed the papers and brought it home about 2 hours later!

We took a ride tonight and we watched 100 miles roll on! I know that's silly but it's a minor milestone as there will be many many miles to come!

I am so blessed with how God has worked in my life! I stand amazed that He loves me enough to want me in His kingdom! Thank you God :)

Wonderful weekend with great friends

Our company just left... sad to see them go but we had an awesome time with them. Larry sold our ground control the Archie and Barb Prince. The boys spent Friday putting the system on Archie and Barb's 3250TS Big Country. While the boys worked, Barb and I went to an exam I had already scheduled. LOL we were in a sort of remote part of Bishopville which was only actually about 14 mile from home. I did the exam and we headed home. Barb had already made chili and so I made garlic biscuits and we invited Michael (my son) and Matt (Larry's son) to dinner. After dinner Barb had a cranberry pie that was very very awesome tasting!

 Archie and Barb were going to leave Saturday but they decided to stay one more night and we were glad they did Barb and I went out to get pizza and to hit the couple of antique stores in town; sadly they were closed on Saturday so we went to Michael's and picked up one of the twins Michael! (sound like a lot of Michael's on our family but it's not too bad!)  I guess everyone was so wound up from putting on the ground control that none of us slept very well Friday night; Saturday night was no problem! Everyone slept well and we were all rested.
Nice to have friends and the space in back yard by our back door!
We are blessed to have met so many Christian friends!
God's way is the only way.... talk to Him as you do your very best friend! Cause He is!!!
