The Piggly Wiggly we went to was definitely an older store! Thank you Jeanne! My husband used to hate selfies, but as you can see, he is getting used to them.....he has no choice! ;). At least he smiles for me now.....most of the time! ;)

Oh my! Do I remember those "trip ticks" from AAA! I was always the navigator, too, but I do have a pretty good sense of direction! I could get us out of some messes if there were road construction problems, or whatever! Wouldn't want to go back to the following the Atlas maps, however...

Wednesday August 13th I was already stirring and had been up to get some Tylenol and potty when the HOA people started weed eating and leaf blowing at 7:30 this morning. Give me a break! So Mark and I got up and fixed coffee and ate some breakfast. Soon Jessica and Terry appeared to take a walk...

Journaling reads: On the way down to Cape San Blas, FL we stopped at the Best Western Hotel in Richmond Hill, GA for the night on Monday, August 11th and continued the trip on Tuesday. We wanted to avoid going through Atlanta, GA on the way home. That is also one of the reasons we went...

HA! Just opened my Gmail and read this quote from the Almanac email: "Don't knock the weather: nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while." —Kin Hubbard, American humorist (1868-1930) I have to say that this doesn't apply to us, so the 10% of...
