On the Road

Susan — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:42:32 +0000

I spent the last week on the road. Really on the road. I drove all the way out to the panhandle of Oklahoma. I started out by having lunch with some friends in Guntersville, AL and spent the night in Huntsville, AL. I precipitated in a Reader’s Luncheon on Saturday and spent the night with friends in Memphis, TN. From there I traveled to a writing friend’s house in Clarksville, AR and spent the night. From there I traveled to Lavern, OK and visited with some cousins and returned to Clarksville. I was more than happy to spend a couple of nights in one place before I headed home again.

I’m going to be a grandmother in December. And to our family’s great surprise Mary Beth is having twins!!!!

What a few hours mean

I was in Boston, or really Salem, Mass this weekend. Sunday morning I woke to 33 degrees and stepped off the plane in Atlanta into 86 degrees weather. I didn’t have enough clothes on in the north and far to many on in the south. In a couple of hours I was in to different worlds.

End of the Semester

Nick is at the end of his school semester. He lacks two classes having his associate. He had a rough start on the college gig but he is slowly making it out. He will start a four year college in the fall with only two more years to go. I’ll be happy to see him graduate and I know he will be too.

Wiffle Ball on Easter Afternoon

The family got together for a big wiffle ball game at my mother’s house on Easter afternoon. Great fun was had by all. No married couple on the same team, no boyfriends and girl friends on the same team. The others left, which were few, rounded out the teams. I’m proud to say that my team won! That means Andy’s didn’t.

Color Run

A couple of weeks ago Mary Beth ran in the Color Run which raised money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This run was a little over 3 miles long. As the runners passed check points a different color was thrown on them. Zach, Andy and I went to Atlanta to Piedmont Park to watch her do the run. There were thousands and thousands of people there. The response was so big that they even had another Color Run at the Atlanta Speedway the next weekend.

Becoming a Grandparent

Susan — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:10:49 +0000

I’m going to be a grandmother in December. I plan to be called May May. Andy wants to be called Pops. His name sounds much older than mine. A cousin asked if I was going to be called granny. I told her no! That name means old, fat and no fun. I’m going to be a cute, over-weight, and super fun May May.

Can You See It?

This is like “Where is Waldo?” Can you find the chest hair. I know my photo skills are not that greatest but I’m not sure if I used the Hubble telescope that you could even see it then. For your amusement…. Drum roll please…. Nick’s chest hair.

Chest Hair

Susan — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:11:08 +0000

Nick came out of the house to see his grandmother and I off on a trip without a shirt on. He was flexing his chest, and we were looking at his scars when he asked, “Do you want to see my chest hair?” Hair is correct, not hairs. My mother and I both went, “Where?” He pointed to a spot in the middle of his chest. We stepped closer. Still I couldn’t see it. “Right here.” Nick pointed to the center of his chest. After stepping closer and having him point it out I could finally see it. It was less than a half inch long. We ask that he draw a circle around it so we could see if it grows!

Birthday

Susan — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 21:11:07 +0000

Nick celebrated his 23 birthday on April 5th. We had Bar-B-Q and Cherry Delight, and friends in for the event. His actually birthday went by quietly with school and work. Still every year is precious.
