Best Weekend

 

Our very first visitors arrived Friday afternoon. My son came to see me! He surprised me by arriving earlier than he said he would be here and I have smiled so much since then, my face hurts!

It all ended too soon, but we have a fun packed hectic weekend. We ate lots of food, we laughed a lot and thoroughly enjoyed our time together.


More company arrived Saturday when the one and only sister of HeWho came to our humble abode. We were bursting at the seams!

We enjoyed a lunch at a restaurant called Grits and Greens. I was too busy eating to take pictures of our food, but you must take my word that it was excellent.

After a meal of gastronomic southern delights we headed to the ice cream parlour, of course!

At $6 a scoop, this better be good! I did not partake. Being lactose intolerant, I didn't think it would be a good idea, but everyone else loved it!

I am missing everyone now. My new great-granddaughter, Alondra was happy to hand feed mealworms to Dora, the turtle. Dora has been looking for her since they left. The dogs, too, as she was a frequent snack giver. I wish they were here longer. Two days is not enough!

    Everybody sure looks happy! But I'm distracted reading the ice cream flavors on the wall! Guess I'm more like Dora and the dogs, focusing on treats.

      They churn the icecream right there and we learned a good bit about the process. It is expensive, but I was told that it was really good ice cream. My brother-in-law is an expert on ice cream. He ate three scoops!! Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. they had one option for dairy free and I had a taste. It was Orange and tasted like that first bite, so fresh. But we had just eaten a huge lunch and I knew I would make myself sick, so I declined.

    So happy to hear about your visits. Those ice cream signs are eye catchers. You look so good these days. That mountain air must agree with you.

      Thank you! I don't know if it is the mountain air or lack of stress these days!

    Yes, that is me with my boy. His fiance is from Peru and speaks only Spanish, so her daughter comes with her to translate. I am learning to speak Spanish ... teaching an old dog new tricks! Thank you, I am quite proud of my crew!

    Nice looking bunch. How you crammed everyone in is a mystery.

      It was tight! My in-laws stayed at a hotel in Hiawassee and my son and family stayed in the RV. The RV is small, but has three beds and a bathroom. This way some could shower in the RV and some in our shower. My son's new family fit right in, so it worked out great. When my youngest daughter visits, it might be more difficult. RV beds are shorter than regular ones and my son-in-law is 6'6" and my daughter is only a half foot shorter than him! Her son is 6'3". I do not know how we ended up with these long people! Maybe I should just get extra long hammocks and string them up in the trees!

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co

The Half Tooth Lingering In My Mouth

  Yesterday was almost bearable with the tooth pain. I took aspirin, tylenol and ibuprophen, rotating them. Went to bed and finally turned the TV off at 11:30. The searing pain woke me at 4:30 am and I have yet to find relief. How much Orajel is too much to ingest? Should I be worried? It doesn't help much, but gives a brief respite. My appointment was today. I arrived with time to spare and had the X-rays done and then the dentist came in, asking about the left side of my mouth. The broken tooth is on the right side. The last root canal and crown I had done is infected!! He said it looked like it never completely healed and this was done over 2 years ago. Having established that, he took a peek at the broken tooth and said it would need to be handled by the oral surgeon. Okay, I already knew that. I used my finger to trace the area in acute pain. From the middle of the top teeth and up to the eye orbit and over to my ear and down to my neck and back up to the middle of my mouth on

Moving To A new House Would Be Easier

  The big day has arrived! I herded the canines into my bedroom to await the new stove. Now, keep in mind that they could have simply sent a repair out to change out the one burner that did not work. Hold that thought ...... Instead of simply repairing an other wise fine stove, they insisted that they should REPLACE it. And, the replacement is TODAY. I am in my bedroom with my furry babies as I listen to a very frustrated HeWho trying to remove the door in order to get it through the only opening that will take it outside. Delivery men refuse to assist and even suggest coming back at a later date! My new stove is sitting just outside their truck on the ground, still in the box causing me to thing to myself "What the not heaven (thanks Val)". Do we now have to go and muscle that thing up the steps and onto the porch ourselves?? I went out to assist. Not much assistance, as I kept jumping back to protect the gouty toe. I returned to my confinement, realizing that I was annoying
