Weekend plans?


Tomorrow we are going to Charlestowne Landing- being a tourist in our own town. E has never been there and I have not been since the boy was about 7. They just did a massice renovation because Hugo really wiped the place out. Not to much to do, but just enough to entertain us for a bit, get some fresh air and enjoy the 70s they expect tomorrow! Not sure about Sunday- the man will be in the boat as usual.

Charlestowne Landing

Charles Towne Landing was the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Carolina province. Approximately 148 colonists, including men, women and children, landed at Albemarle Point the first Wednesday in April 1670.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, here are just a few of the highlights:

* Animal Forest - a 22-acre zoo home to animals the original settlers encountered, including pumas, bison, alligators, black bears, otters, bobcars and wolves.
* The Adventure - A life-size reproduction of a typical trading ship of the 17th century, docked on Old Town Creek.
* Experimental Crop Garden - Features plants the Lords Proprietors, the colony's British investors, instructed the settlers to investigate, including indigo, rice, oranges, sugar cane and cotton.
* Trails - Walk or bike along the marsh or through the 80 acres of English park-style gardens, featuring thousands of azaleas, camelias and live oaks, several hundred years old.
* Legare-Waring House - The official home of the governor is open for tours. The house and surrounding gardens are beautiful reminders of Charles Towne Landing's post colonial history.

I won't be around much tomorrow. A crew is gathering to move our new pastor from his house 50 miles from here. I'm hoping they are pretty much packed and it is just moving, but we'll find out when we get there. It may be an all day event.

Went to the concert last night, hanging out in Chicago for a little while today, then driving back home.  We'll probably just do our regular chores tomorrow.

The concert rocked.  The first half he did a regular set.  Mostly Pink Floyd, but also a couple of his songs.  He did one new song, and they had a graphic novel type thing on the screen, and it showed the lyrics.  I thought about our lyrics thread during that song!


Today not much is planned.  We're probably just going to grab some lunch, then start the drive back home.

Hi Ruby!  Yeah... it's just crazy during the week at my "real job".  I've been working day and night there.  The shop is doing okay. We had a good week this week which was nice given that we have had a very slow month. Today is starting out pretty well. Kevin's doing okay. He's still fighting a cold which he was nice enough to share with me, but I think we are both kicking it. I'd probably be completely over mine if I could just get a decent night's sleep!


Chris won't be in today. He and Anna decided to take the kids to see their great-grandparents. Far as I know it's going okay between them.  We had Marshall's 1st birthday party last weekend. As typical, they were 'planning' it for 2 weeks, yet day of I ended up bringing just about all of the food, the cake, and helping them get the house cleaned up.  Some things will just never change.  I did tell Chris that he needs to slow down on the parties. It's getting too expensive for me since I tend to end up paying for them. 


Jeremy and Debbie have been fairly quiet, so I suppose they are doing okay. I need to call Jeremy to see if he still wants to help me do the siding on my house. I'm sure he would do it for me, just not sure if he wants to talk to his dad yet or not.


Pambo has been having a resurgence of her nerve issue. The last couple weeks have been very painful for her.  She's got an appointment with her neurologist on Monday.  She's honestly considering either having the balloon compression thing redone or possibly just going on and having that nerve severed.   I really hope they can come up with an answer for her. It hurts me to see her in pain like that.

Glad to hear you are all hanging in there. Praying for Pambo still.

Sounds like your family keeps you on your toes

I'm trying to keep them in line.  I've made it clear that I've had enough of the mayhem out of all of them. 


It is a busy day here at the Econo-Lube!!  I'm glad for it!  We've already had 14 customers today.  Only had 13 all day yesterday.  I can't believe it's already after 11:00!!

We did, but E was tired and we did not bring a stroller- last time I was there the trails were not stroller friendly, but they are now. The animals are all basically hidden in their habitats, so seeing them was hard, but we did see some deer, bison, pelicans, bears, a puma and some otters. It was hotter than the 70s, so we walked around for 2 and 1/2 hours and called it a day!
