Can you believe it? I can't! Lisa made them the perfect cake again this year, and we celebrated with a little taco salad party at our house ~ Love you, girls! Many, many more!<br />

Over the years, we've often revised his name for various occasions/people for various reasons. Well, for the last 3 weeks and counting, I, dear friends, "can't get right". Since my simple little surgery, I just havn't been the same. I know, I know. You have to allow your body to heal. And that hasn't actually been all that bad. A lot of soreness, etc. But, nothing major after the first few days, or so. However, I've come to the conclusion that it has caused severe hormonal changes that have been more than a little difficult to live with for all parties involved. No one has come right out and said anything, but I get the general feeling I've been a little moody. The next day, I may be as bubbly and giggly as a high school cheerleader. The next, the Coke commercial may make me cry. And the days, it seems, upon days of gloomy depression. Feeling like I just couldn't get out of my own way, and didn't want to try.<br />
<br />
Then, last Sunday, Wayne and I had been out in the boat all day, just riding, fishing and piddling away the day. I had been doing fine. I was inside getting a shower and cleaning up while he was outside cleaning the boat up. As I was unpacking the boat bag, I smelled my beach had to see if it needed washing, etc. WRONG MOVE. Apparently it had gotten in the way of the bait. I don't know, but the smell immediately tossed my cookies, and until today, exactly one week later, what I have been able to eat would have fit in that hat. And it seems that it's the smells that bother me the most. I've had other symptoms, etc. but the undaunting nausea has been a real butt kicker. I haven't been this sick for this long since I was first pregnant with the girls. Geez!<br />
<br />
Now, I know what you're thinking, but it's NOT possible. Well, let me correct that by saying we've all read the Bible and impossible, I guess, isn't plausible, but at this house, I'm telling you it's impossible without His intervention. But, after talking it over with some of the girls at work, that's exactly what it's been like. My body has been convinced I've been pregnant. LOL! Little does it know ~<br />
<br />
I'm feeling much better this afternoon, and after a solid week of the nausea, am hoping that, at least, has passed, and I do feel a LOT more chipper. But, poor old Wayne has had to handle a lot. He even had to plan the girls birthday supper last week. I just couldn't make muster ~ Thanks, Hon! You're the best, and we will see the other side of this yet!Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-76538467479479896362011-09-27T18:22:00.001-04:002011-09-27T18:22:53.275-04:00I'm here ~Not much to allow, and don't feel like it anyway.

Yay! Seems my problems are being caused by endometriosis (sp?). At this point, we're waiting to see if things will return to normal on their own. If not, she'll medicate and see if they'll return to normal, etc. I have to go back in November for a repeat pap, and at that point I'm really gonna push for the hysterectomy. She's explained that if the meds dont work, that's the alternative. It would be a total, since the ovulation causes the pain/problems, so there's a possiblility I'd have to be on hormones (or be crazy). But, if you've got to take pills one way or the other, I'd rather take pills and not have to deal with a cycle. So... <br />
<br />
The girls are headed to Athens with the Pearce's for their first GA game. Look out Athens! Wayne, Pepe and I are headed to Da's for the weekend. Am SO looking forward to that! So, catch ya'll on the flip ~Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-43363878110740032232011-09-08T08:48:00.000-04:002011-09-08T08:48:08.726-04:00Well, yeah...Same stuff, different day around here. Mostly. Thankfully at the condo most every weekend still. Least till the night temps drop. NOT looking forward to that. What ever will we do with ourselves? Had a crows for Labor Day. The Howards stayed with us, and Jeremy. Met the Baxter's at St Catherine's. And had all over for a low country boil. The girls found a manatee at the beach that demanded human contact. It was super neat. He'd come up under their feet and want them to rub him. He'd float up to the surface, and when they touched him, he'd roll onto his belly for them to rub him. They were thrilled!<br />
<br />
Michael, Lisa, Da & Syb came over in Sapelo Sally. The had a little delay and the weather was trying to poo up, so they headed back rather quickly (well, with a stop at Barbour to see Misti's baby). Hope they'll come back soon so we can take them around to Belvedere to Pandy's house. I'm really looking foward to getting to see Pandy's house... LOL!<br />
<br />
Wayne's in push mode again (not that he really comes out) about building the house. I REALLY want it, too, but it's SO scary! Especially since my salary keeps going down, down, down. Health insurance is going up another 20% in January, they say ~<br />
<br />
I'm home today, drinking the dreaded "clean out" stuff. Having a little surgery in the am. A D&C with hysterscopy and laprascopy. Other than the D&C, it's exploratory. Wayne's not happy. He doesn't understand why my dr won't just do a hyterectomy. She's very holistic, and considers that a last resort. But, things haven't been good for a long time, and if this isn't the answer, and she won't talk about it, I'm probably on the hunt for another OB/GYN. After 26 years with the same one, I'm sure it'll be a shocker. Anyway, it's gonna be a "crappy" day around here.

It's getting that time of year! As Da says, "they've got the red traveling pants on"! We made our first trip into the sounds for the "big uns", and in just a little while picked us up 4 pounds or so. Enough for a REALLY good supper after we got back from Da's for our visit Saturday~<br />
<br />
Sunday found us back at old faithful... St Caterine's. Jessica has a new friend who's been coming around. Not sure of an official status, but things sound hopeful ~ LOL! Anyway, Trey stays at his grandpa's at Half Moon a good bit of the time, and has his own little Whaler. So, he made the treck all the way to the southern tip of St Cat's to spend some time with us. It's nice getting to know him, and was really impressive to the pops that he could run a boat and navigate himself so well. <br />

Before Trey's arrival, I had some old stale bread and buns to toss, so what better time, right? WRONG! It was just like a scene out of "The Birds"! LOL! But, fun nonetheless! Can't wait for our next trip out ~ Hopefully this next trip will bring in some Baxter's and Harris', and maybe even some Pearce's and Howard's. Holiday weekend and all ~<br />

So sad. Had an appointment at Dr Cobb's for some bloodwork, so Wayne and I headed out early, got a little Hardee's breakfast along the way. We are so sad... if there is a Hardee's within driving distance, we're on it!<br />
<br />
Anyway, on the way home, I told Wayne I'd like to go to Statesboro. I still had my birthday gift card from Hobby Lobby (Ahhhhh ~ heaven's open. LOL!) And, Wayne had been wanting to hit Alltel and maybe get him a personal cell phone. That state Southern Linc stinks! So, off we went ~ very productive day. Got the rest of the stuff I wanted to finish decor-ing my living room. Wayne got his phone, and we hit Chick-fil-A to finish off the vacation ~<br />
<br />
Lord, it sucked to go back to work on Tuesday!Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-80760679949467143502011-08-10T16:42:00.000-04:002011-08-10T16:42:34.084-04:00Vaca - Day 9 - Sun, Aug 7A wonderful day at St Catherine's with the Baxter's and Roy, Jr and crew. Roy had called on Saturday while we were at Da's, but we forgot to call him back until Sunday morning. He, his girlfriend and her 2 girls were coming down and wanted to meet up with us at the beach. It was nice meeting the girlfriend, and her 2 girls are DOLLS! Hope we get to see more of them in the weekends to come ~<br />
<br />
They pulled out kinda early, but the Mobleys and Baxters held tight. The wind was so strong, and the surf was "narly" LOL! We'd lost our good anchor at the quarantine station Wednesday, so had only the old navy anchor, and it wasn't holding. At one point, Wayne was actually standing on the anchor holding the boat trying to keep it from beaching. No luck! We ended up pulling behind the beach in the creek and still ended up tying to David's boat. Gotta get to West Marine and get a new one before the weekend!<br />
<br />
We decided to head on back to Glennville a day early. Needing to prepare ourselves for the week to come ~ So sad to leave!Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-33196506054208018982011-08-10T16:37:00.000-04:002011-08-10T16:37:17.497-04:00Vaca - Day 8 - Sat, Aug 6It was just too unmercifully hot, and hadn't been to see my daddy all week. So, we collected the Baxter clan and set out on a day trip for Sapelo. We had such a wonderful visit! Da and Grandma are doing okay, it seems. I worry about them both so much. Syb and her blood sugar, etc. Daddy seems to be having more of those "spells". But, his pacemaker kicks in and keeps him going. Can't say this is a good thing, excactly. Wish there were just no spells at all. His hip is killing him at present. But, hard head won't even talk about going to the doctor. Says he knows they'll just tell him he's old and his hip is gone and needs replacement, and he's just not willing to talk about that. Love my Da, and just want him happy, so I don't push. <br />
<br />
We had decided upon our return to Gould's, we were all gonna hit the Buccaneer Club we thought. Well, on the way home, we ran into 4 guys on jet skis who stopped us asking where they could by gas. They were trying to get to Thunderbolt. Yeah, you read that right. Thunderbolt! Don't know where they had put in, but they had exhausted their on-board fuel, and were getting low in the extra tanks they'd packed. Now, this was about 10 minutes to 6pm on at Saturday night, and we were floating just out from the quarantine station, Blackbeard Island, Sapelo Sound. Closest gas? 20 minutes to Shellman. Reckon Ronnie & Gay-bo will be staying late? NO! LOL! Well, one of the guys had a smart-phone (smartest thing in the crowd, ask me), so he pulled up Shellman Marina, called and told them the story and they agreed to wait on them to get there. So, we lead them in to Shellman and wished them luck. I've gotta get with Ronnie and find out if they stayed the night, or filled up and tried to make it in the dark... Will try to give an update when I find out.<br />
<br />
Anyway, in the midst of all that hoo-ha, Brother Dave decided it was going to be too late for him to go to the Buccaneer, so we kinda dogged it off. But, after we hit Gould's, the phone rings, plans commence with the baths (LOL!) and we were at the Bucc before 8:30. It was delish! And enjoyed the company so very much!Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-34810364204833384322011-08-10T16:25:00.001-04:002011-08-10T17:05:05.414-04:00Vaca - Day 7 - Fri, Aug 5Florida bound, baby! Thanks to Carla Rush, we managed to get the girls tickets at Marineland to swim with the dolphins! I know, don't they do that every weekend? LOL! Well, not exactly like this ~ WHAT at experience!<br />

What was I thinking? LOL! A friend of ours owns/lives on Bird Island, an 8 acre island just southeastish of Barbour. He's been asking us to come visit for a year of more so he could show us his island. So, this was the day. Steven is a dock builder by trade, and we really didn't know what to expect, but it was terrific! His description was it was about 40 docks all mangled together. And, while I can see that, it was just facinating! They collect all kinds of "stuff". Whether it washes ashore on their island or beach, or if he finds it in his piling digging, etc. with work. Everywhere you looked there was something interesting! Next time, I promise I'll take the camera!<br />
<br />
It was only about 3900 degrees, and I got a little over heated and had to be scurried off the island back to the condo. Crappy end to a great day, but maybe Steven and Mindy will have us back out ~ LOL!

Let me first say, I can't stand Tybee. It's so crowded, and you have to pay to park even at the Arby's. It's just ridiculous! Now, that out of the way, the girls had a GREAT time!<br />

We spent the day at St Catherine's with the Pearce's. Beautiful day! The kids decided to do a little float fishing (yeah, they didn't learn anything from Jessica's earlier experience). Low and behold after a couple of whiting, etc., Megan hooks her a shark. As she's trying to get it in (without it getting her) it manages to bump Jessica on the butt through her float, and brush by JP's legs ~ LOL! You should have seen the activity that ensued! Priceless!<br />

<br />
Ok. Let's start with last Thursday. Jessica and I were in the living room. She, watching NCIS. Me, reading. Wayne was at the gym, and Megan was in the back of the house. We heard this load noise, and I looked up and asked Jessica what it was. She said, "Oh, it was Megan closing the shower door." Ok. Whatever. When Wayne came in, he was all excited wanting to know what we were doing? Had we called GA Power? Jessica and I just looked at each other, and he said come with me...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_xsgQv3SY8bgRsK5y8s-QWXOSr2ozVqVUicmQPfWOkIXgu3rN6FFbBo5J_buo6R1de3tXdGym2RFMU2OI2KoX2f_4f_lsMCQVcl_v8U1j5moKlPps5epr9WMbhQSVxf0pLeqNvVEKp3e/s1600/IMG_6953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_xsgQv3SY8bgRsK5y8s-QWXOSr2ozVqVUicmQPfWOkIXgu3rN6FFbBo5J_buo6R1de3tXdGym2RFMU2OI2KoX2f_4f_lsMCQVcl_v8U1j5moKlPps5epr9WMbhQSVxf0pLeqNvVEKp3e/s400/IMG_6953.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>We lost one of our beloved Bradford Pears! And it fell on the power line, breaking the service pole on the roof and digging a hole in the roof! Within the hour, we had GA Power and Lim Waters assessing the damage, and by 10ish Friday morning. Lim had repaired his part, Walter Ray had sent a crew and fixed the roof area, and GA Power had been back to put power back to the house. LOVE that small town life!<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah, you read that right. GA Power cut the power off Thursday night due to hazerdous conditions. So, we called in Mema, and she and Tonya formulated a plan ~ Tonya moved over to their house, and left us hers. LOVE our family! <br />
<br />
Sooooo ~ got a huge mess to clean up on a Friday. If we wait to do it Saturday morning when it's cool, we'll miss a weekend at the coast. What to do....? My poor husband and girls braved the 240 degree heat (nearly), and heat stroke to get it cleaned up by 4. Now, this is what the end of that looked like ~<br />

Outback on St Simons was "on our way home".

Something we can turn over and leave on the bluff for easy access when the tide is high. Well, Saturday, before the rain set in, our "new to us" boat took it's maiden voyage from Gould's Landing.<br />

They were a little tenative to begin with, and a trip to Brunswick later for an additional paddle. But, everyone voted it a go. Thanks, Fred!<br />

Well, the bus did break down at the beach, but no problem. Da had another one within minutes, and we were off again. Had 19 boats this year, with 29 kids from the home and staff kids. GREAT day. Just as they were leaving the hunt camp for the return trip, caught a nice thunderstorm that just made things interesting, but it had cleared up by he time they hit Doboy Sounds. Got all the buses cleaned and back in their homes. The beach pavillion and cook site cleaned up, and you'd never know we had ever been there. 'Course there's always Bitchin' Bob. This year he's taken it to a new level, and got the kids involved in switching the trip back to Blackbeard. He must not remember the last trip when he had to be pushed up the dune... and he hasn't seen it lately. That back-side dune is 25 feet straight up if it's an inch. Oh, well, we've concluded he has some kind of bus phobia, or something. But, the lodge will make the decision, I guess, next year. Sure did hurt Da's feeling, once again. And superbly ticked me off. Hope I don't see him until I have a chance to simmer down... Anyway, here's some of my favorite pix ~<br />

</div>All jokes aside... I'm so very proud of my sister-in-law, Lisa. She has lost so much weight, and changed her diet so that she is eating so very healthy. She's an inspiration ~ not too much though, as Da had us bacon, pancakes and Grandma's famous grits for breakfast. Da says it took 65 years for that one artery to clog and he doesn't figure he has another 65, so he'll do what he pleases, thank you. LOL! Had a GREAT weekend with Da, Grandma, Michael, Lisa, Stacy, Monica, Dalton and my crew. Haven't laughed so much in a very long time. Thanks!

But, here are a few from our wonderful 4th! Amber and Dylan came down (long story there) and Pooh and kids chimed in for some tubing and beaching on Saturday. Then, Sunday bought Matt and we met up with Holly and kids and the Harris clan at St Caterine's for a WONDERFUL day of fun and sun! Can't wait to get back ~<br />

Now, Amber & Dylan ~ they'd been dating for, oh, 3 or 4 years or so. Her parents nearly had them married off. They were/are actually pushing that. Anyway, Amber decided she needed a break to feel her world out. After all, she's only 18 for Lord's sake. Her mom, in particular, is not happy with that decision and is VERY "medley". Well, the girls have been asking her to come stay at the condo with them for a while, and this weekend it finally happened. Amber had to come back Saturday night to make church Sunday am, but she had Friday and Saturday to enjoy. But, they didn't want her to drive back all that way by herself, so she could only come if Dylan came, too... So, process that. And that's all I'm gonna say about it. A GREAT time was had by ALL! They even came back Sunday afternoon and stayed again 'til Monday. Not much on tap for us, as Wayne had to be at work by noon Monday for holiday patrol, but I still think they enjoyed hanging out at the clubhouse and just "chillaxing". <br />
<br />
Getting ready today for me, the girls and Chick to hit the ferry to Sapelo to help Da get set up for the Masonic beach trip tommorrow. 50% chance of rain, but trust me, it won't dampen the spirits of this bunch! Hope to have lots of great pix soon, and know we'll have a great weekend!Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-4846138123928671192011-06-28T20:27:00.001-04:002011-07-18T21:32:31.301-04:00Catching Up ~Boy! I've been slack! I'm surprised I haven't been assaulted yet ~ Anyway, let's see... where to start... Father's Day. Wayne didn't get his, really. He worked with Tracy on an FDIC shut-down, so wasn't home all weekend, and needed sleep on Sunday. But, we cooked him crab legs and fried shrimp for lunch, and the girls had picked him out a new shirt, so I guess it wasn't a total wash.<br />
<br />
Wayne, Clint & Rrrr had an unofficial official day (of fishing) planned for Thursday, so I had the bed to myself Wednesday night. I read, and watched tv, and slept like a log. But, Thursday am? WHEW! Something was wrong with my big toe! I've had arthritis-type pain in it before, but nothing dabilitating. I wore a shoe Thursday, but when I took it off that night, IT WAS ON. Didn't sleep Thursday night, mostly writhed and twisted. Friday was Wayne's Father's Day doings in Savannah. I, again, wore a shoe, but was glad to get it off, and then was sorry I had. Another night of misery, highlited by hot soaking, elevating and lowering, and some crying added to the mix. Wayne had been on-line at some 3am researching, and had made his determination of gout, which was confirmed by Monica and Ms Diane on Saturday, then Dr Cobb on Monday. But, by daylight Saturday, I'd located some meds from 2003 and was going okay. LOL! Doc gave me a shot in the butt and some fresh pain meds, and I'm feeling much better, thanks! Would give pretty much anything to not go through that again. Even tossed out the idea of just cutting it off, 'course that could have been the pain meds talking.<br />
<br />
Jeremy's Uncle Ricky offered us up some fresh corn, so Friday night, Wayne, the girls and Moncia went to pick up 5 or 6 bushels (they came home with 10!) Thanks Uncle Ricky! We'll think of you every meal we eat corn ~ The girls thanked him on Monday by baking him Aunt Gussie's Lemon Cake.

'Course, you know, if I really dig deep (and it's a scarey thought), I have lots and lots of GREAT men I count as "fathers". You know what I mean, we all have 'em. Folks that had a hand in raising you, and that you know, even all these years later, they still have your back. I know I'll leave someone out, but... there's Uncle Asa, of course. Uncle Gary, goes without saying. Then there are all of those perifrial (sp) father's... Mr Richard, Bobby and Ed, all 3 Whitlows. Wayne and Roy and Jack. If you let your mind loose, there are just so many... I want to wish them all a very happy father's day, and sending my love and gratitude for all the love and guidance you have given along the way ~ Thanks!Goin_Coastalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14514223965840029762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693691593348518200.post-56182324514860639872011-06-16T07:14:00.000-04:002011-06-16T07:14:04.976-04:00Oh, Yeah ~In a hurry, I guess. But, I missed a couple of items I wanted to hit in that last post... Since Jeremy has come into Megan's life, she's begun to take a great interest in his interest in birds. So, this past weekend, she noted a new one that she'd just never noticed before. Tagged as her new favorite bird, she has researched and discovered it's a Southern Oyster Sucker ~<br />

I once had dreams of doing that for a living. But, alas, the real world... anyway, My old camera with the interchangeable lenses bit the dust years ago, and several years back now, Wayne bought me a good digital. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it, and it is super easy to use. But, some have asked, "why don't you invest in a REALLY good digital? You could do so much more." Well, I believe this picture says it all. You see, for me, photography is about making note of everyday life, as well as portraits, etc. So, it's really important to me to be able to have my camera wherever we are, and sometimes, no, a lot of times, it's on the water. And, the girls have gotten used to being able to "document" things, and are liable to pick it up and snap whatever, whenever. Yeah, sometimes they get things I'd really rather they didn't, for I'd MUCH rather be behind the lens. But, my point is this. It's gotta be touch, 'cause you never know when it's gonna get slimed ~<br />

It was a resounding success. The entire family made it (Michael, Lisa, Tyler, us, Tracy, Lissa & Matthew), plus we had Aunt Paula and Jeremy. My shrimp were scrumptious! And never miss an opportunity to see my Da.<br />
<br />
Got three more days of work, then we have a father's day surprise for Wayne on Friday. Will let you know how that works out ~ holding my breath! Then we have tenative plans with Michael and Lisa. He's been wanting to come to the condo by boat from Sapelo, and have Wayne show him how to get around to his Aunt Pandy's at Belvedere. So, hope that works out ~ I don't turn down a boat ride, even if it's just around the corner. Plus, I REALLY want to see Pandy's house. LOL! <br />
<br />
Oh! Had an MRI in Savannah last Friday (no results yet), but while on the road got the most fabulous news! Both gitls got HOPE for Summer semester! YEAH! Now, Fall semester HOPE has new rules, so we'll see...<br />
