Great Week-End

It has been such a great week-end. We left on Thursday on our way to Savannah. We spent the evening and next day with Dusty. We are still looking at places for him to live.

We have narrowed it down to two. One they want to much money for and needs a lot of work. Of course that is the one that Dusty wants. The other one is perfect almost move in ready and an easy resell. That's the one he does not want. His choice is condo number two or live in a dorm. I will take a poll as to which one he chooses.

We left Savannah and are now in Fl. I have enjoyed taking pictures. I am really excited about Photoshop CS3. It is a new program that I am ready to dive into. It is amazing what you can do with a photo with this program. I can't wait.

I saw these weeds while driving back from Tallahassee. What are they? Help. I took the golf cart back up to take these pictures. What I didn't do was spray myself with bug spray. I was snapping pictures and getting eaten alive. I was rushed. Anyway can't wait to see what can be done in Photoshop. These were taken in a portrait mode with a 28-300 lense and a circle polarized lense filter. I wish I had zoomed in a little closer. I may retake these pictures this afternoon with bug spray on.

I have manged to get these pictures posted in a werid formatt. I guess I need help with placement also. Hope everyone has a glorious day. Enjoy that spring is here and have a great day.

Yesterday was a great day. Dusty and I left Fayetteville early on our way to Savannah. He is a student at SCAD or Savannah College of Art and Design. Dusty has just finished his second quarter and did very well. After finishing his first year at Western Carolina he transferred to SCAD. He loves it. He loves the school, classes and Savannah. Better know as the "The Jewel of The South". It is such a beautiful city.

We have been looking for a place for him to live since August. He is a sophomore and almost 22. After living in Germany for a year, it has been hard for him to live in a dorm with 18 year old.

We have been looking at a condo on Broughton Street. After looking at rentals, that are as much as a condo payment, we are making an offer on his condo. Broughton Street is the street in Savannah. With bars, shopping, food, the SCAD library and everything for a young man of 21.

Now we have to wait for the response on our contract. I hate waiting.

Dusty and I enjoyed the day together. I always love talking to him. He was a little lost on the process of buying anything in the real estate market. He said "Mom, I haven't owned anything since I was 4. Maybe you could explain this to me." This whole process is going to be a great learning experience for him. It's fun to share with your child growing into an adult.

Yesterday was a great day.

I'mmmmmmmmmmm BACK

Sorry guys that I have been away so long. Things have been great and also in a whirl wind for me. Where do I start. First of all Fred and I have just returned from an 8 day cruise to Panama, Costa Rica and Belize. We went with good friends of our "Sylvia and Mark Shugart. We had the best time. I got to go through the Panama Canal. It is truly amazing. I will write more about our trip later.

Second, we have workers all over our house. The men from our shop a putting in new windows and siding. The new garage is almost finished. The screen in porch additions is almost complete. The new Trex decks are finished. Fred outdoor kitchen is finished. And the landscapers started today. So far they have cut the phone line this morning and the cable this afternoon. The phone is fixed but the cable will have to wait.

Third, Dusty and I are going to Savannah tomorrow to look at apartments. He is doing so well in school and he needs his own place. We are leaving in the moring. It will be a long day but a fun one. I love spending time with him.

Well, this is just a little update as to where I have been for the past two weeks. I feel like I am rush, rush, rush and hurry up, hurry up and hurry up.

Addictied

I am a Scrap Book Addict. I admit this therefore I am not dangerous. They say that people who have a problem and are aware of it and admit it are not dangerous. This statement is not Dr. Phil, but plain old college Psy. 101. Fred and I left Fla. today with beautiful bright skies, the temperature was 81. What a day for the beach. I wanted and longed to attend my Scrap Club meeting tomorrow. So we drove home. One Sunday of the month 4 other friends and myself meet for a day of laughter, fun, lunch and of course scrap booking. That always seems to be the week-end that my Honey wants to go to Fla. This time I said fine but we leave on Thursday and return on Saturday. He agreed before we left. I have missed my club meeting once before because of his trips to Fla. This time I stood my ground. But even wanting to go to my meeting it was hard to leave. See, If I was queen of the world I could wave my magic wand and fly back to Ga.. I would then go to my meeting. Then poof, back to Fla. I would go. Maybe you should check outside your window sometimes. That shop may get my magic wand fix one of these days.
