Weekend away . . .

-

Justin and I took a little road trip for the weekend to watch the first Atlanta Motor Speedway Race under the lights!  We had a great time!  (The previous blog entry had a picture of Justin that I had taken of him at the race with my phone, but apparently it did not load correctly.)  So here are a few pictures of the track from our great seats!

The pictures may not show how well we could see everything!

This is the crew bringing out Dale Jr.’s car to get in line.

This is a picture of the cars as they are moving which shows 2 things.  1 – the cars are moving FAST!  2 – My camera isn’t fancy enough to capture the speed of light.

(There are 3 cars on the track in this picture.  They are between the pole and the right edge of the picture.  Dale Jr.  is the 3rd car just passed the start/finish line)

This is Dale Jr’s pit stop.  These are also very fast.  About 15 seconds tops!

And lastly, Kasey Kahn won the race and this is the burn out!

During our short weekend trip, our sweet puppy TY spent his first weekend away from home with Mamaw ‘Nita (This is Justin’s mom.) and Papaw Jimmy.  I’m sure he was spoiled by his visit with Grandma.  We stopped by to get Ty on the way home and ate supper with Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy.  Supper was delicious!  We had grilled chicken seasoned with who-knows-what (Jimmy is an excellent griller!), along with homemade mashed potatoes, green beans, fried okra, tomatoes from the garden, and fudge brownie cake.  All of it was awesome!!  Thanks to Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy for taking care of Ty and spoiling us with great food!

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
