Vacation IS OVER!

I had a very nice time in Wilmington visiting with my dad, my sisters, my brother-in-law, my nephews and other friends. As usual, the time goes by much too quickly. Pops and I were able to spend some quality time together and get a few things done around his house. Trey and Jennifer passed me on the way home as they are now there until Tuesday. I stopped in Madison and spent the night at Stacey's. Debbie met me there and we had a nice dinner and watched some TV, played with the kids, etc.. I got up early and came on back into McDonough as I wanted to get another coat of paint on the bedroom wall and finish some trimming opportunities.
College football is here!! Joey was at UGS's win today and I watched ECU upset Va. Tech (Yea Susan/MG) I'm now watching UVA get their butt kicked by USC. I've called my friends in Charlottesville that have a skybox at the stadium and hollered at them for a minute. Maybe UNC will actually have a team that can compete with UVA this year! They never did when I lived there and believe me I heard all about it each week.
Love my family and I so enjoyed my time with them this week.

Please, pull all my teeth instead....

To those that are house painters by profession...God bless you!! I have decided that I would rather have all my teeth pulled versus painting. It has dawned on me that with age comes experience and a certain amount of prosperity and with the experience and with the money...in the future when Debbie wants to change the color of a room...I WILL HIRE SOMEONE TO DO IT. It sounded simple..paint the master bath and our bedroom. That was 20 manhours ago and I'm still not finished. Joey helped for several hours on Saturday or I would probably still be locked in the bathroom. After thousands of times of getting up and down a ladder, I have rediscovered muscles I didn't know I had in my back and in my arms. When it's all said and done, I'm sure it will cost even more money as Debbie will now have a reason to buy new stuff to match the new paint colors. It's a vicious cycle....but, wouldn't have it any other way.
Fay has given us some much needed rain....cloudy again today. My friend Bubba is a new granddad. He called Saturday from Chicago to say he had a new little girl. To think it was only a few short weeks ago that he was in pretty dire straits with a heart attack, facing heart surgery and with his kidneys on the blink. There are many that would say it's a medical miracle and there are others of us that would say it's the power of prayer.
