Summer lovin’

-

Or maybe it’s just loving summer!  Justin and I have been around the world and back or so its seems over the last few weeks.  The days between traveling, I was getting ready to travel again. You know you don’t want to start a project knowing you may not finish and have to wait a week before getting to finish the project.  Its hard to get motivated knowing I have to clean the garden at least once if not twice before going out of town.

Last week, Justin and I went to Atlanta – just slightly north actually to Alpharetta.  Justin had a conference and I spent the week, laying in the hotel room and driving around town.  It was very relaxing!  It was also Ty’s first trip back to Atlanta since we picked him up over a year ago.  When we got him, only a few weeks old, he slept most of the way home in my lap.  He has grown up quite a bit since then and a few pounds!   He now sleeps in his pin in the back seat.   Ty laid around in the hotel with me and we had a great time!

This week has just been a great week!  The weather has been wonderful, the evening temperatures have been lovely to say the least.  If you haven’t enjoyed them you should start.  Justin and I have been soaking in the cool breeze and beautiful scenery!   Our garden continues to come in.  We shelled a few peas tonight.  Have lots of cucumber, but I don’t pickle.  I dug up the remaining potatoes on Monday, so we had a successful potato crop.  Justin has perfected dicing and cooking these. YUM!  We have picked 4 ripe tomatoes, so we can’t wait for the rest of the these!   As much work as it takes to keep the garden clean, there is nothing more rewarding than having homegrown veggies to enjoy! 

Just a few more weeks before Am’s Big Day and we are getting excited!  She has her house just about ready and is finalizing her wedding details!  We can’t wait to see her beautiful smiling face on her wedding day!

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...

Boston Bound

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, ...

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 a...
