So, here it is...

Adam's Accent (not his cute little southern drawl) but his cute little car!

"Kudos" to Janet who noticed my clever title of the last post! Just curious...did anyone else get it? If not, it might be kind-of fun to play the clever game more often...to keep us all on our toes!

Today was a nice day, just hanging with the fam. We went this morning to the hospital to see Grandmother (who is doing just fine by the way) then we came home and just hung out together. It was a much needed day of rest. Tomorrow starts another action-packed day/week/end of month...you get the picture!

Anyway, just thought I would share the pics.

Accent

Wow, so, July has nearly come and gone...already. So much has been going on this past month I am not even sure I can accurately re-cap. I will say though that in the middle of the month Adam spent a week in Mexico with the teens. They had a great trip, but Adam stayed in bed VERY sick for a majority of the week. Thanks to his adult volunteers and an all around good group of teens the week went smoothly without him. Adam was better by the time they came back and all is well!

Mom came and stayed with me and the boys that week. I think that was a long week for her. She had her first real experience with a Georgia summer. Yes, you folks in other parts of the country, in Georgia "hot" is an understatement. Whew.

On a different note, Adam took the plunge today. For about a year-and-a-half Adam has been driving a 1991 Mercury Topaz. It was very nice in it's day, power everything, air conditioning, et cetera...but the power windows quit working in front, AC out (remember I mentioned those Georgia summers) no cup holders, et cetera, et cetera, and recently it would cut off randomly (but thankfully started back up each time). We live about 30 minutes from the church...so Adam drives about 250 miles a week. So, after careful research and consideration, he bought a Hyundai Accent today. It is a 3-door hatch back, completely basic. Power nothing. BUT, it has AC and cup holders...ahhh, the little things in life! This little car gets really good gas mileage and is very hard to come by. They did not make many to start with, do not make them anymore, and they are quite popular because of looks, fuel efficiency, quality, warranty, and price!

This month has been a rough one, part of why I have not been blogging. As Anne and I were talking the other day she mentioned my lack of blogging and we came to the conclusion that "If you can't say anything nice, do not say anything at all"! So, there you have it.

Until next time...

Girls' Weekend Out!

So, this past weekend, my sister-in-law Katie, our friend Nancy and I went to Savannah to escape. We had a great time. We spent Saturday on the beach. The weather was beautiful. I have a slight phobia of the ocean; the awesomeness is just too much for me, but I did get in (briefly). Katie and Nancy enjoyed the water and even shared it with a dolphin! He was just swimming around out there with everyone out enjoying the water!

Speaking of dolphins, we took a boat out dolphin watching. We cruised the river then moved out to the Atlantic and found a buch of dolphins. They were playing and popping up to see us! We all went to the back of the boat and the guide picked up the pace to make a big wake and the dolphins went "surfing". It was really cool to see! Below is a picture of the three of us just before getting on the boat:
As we were cruising the river looking for dolphins we spotted something:

Yes, that is a deer! Well, a fawn anyway! It was just swimming across the river to get to the other side! The guide said he had never seen anything like it!

Speaking of deer, Tuesday while I was working, I saw something out the window, and yes, it was this deer. We have seen her quite a few times in the time we have lived in this house but rarely in the middle of the afternoon!
Well, I have so much more to say about our trip but I really need to organize my thoughts, so maybe I will post more as I think about it. Until next time...
