A Surprise Visit from Friends & Bon Fire

Saturday morning i slept in as my back has not been letting me get much sleep. I finally got around and went over to visit with the other ladies and to meet the new RVer’s. Randall and Janice are the newest to arrive and as we were all sitting around having coffee we got a surprise. Virgil and Donna fellow Rver friends of ours showed up to visit. They are in Waynesboro, Ms. We had a great time visiting and finally it was time for lunch. We went home and got ready as we need to do some grocery shopping.

I love southern food but i was craving something different .. I’m sure you all know what that was … Yep .. Chinese. I got online and search what the local places to eat were around in the area. We found a small all you can eat buffet in Lucedale. It was okay for the small area we are in. They didn’t have the big variety that we are spoiled with but the food was very good. We’ll be going back again i’m sure.

After getting our tummy’s full we headed to Save A Lot as that is the discount shopping store here. No Aldie’s but i like Save A Lot. Then it was to the Dollar Tree .. Yep they have one right across the street from Wal-mart. Yes, then it was Wal-mart and on our way home we stopped at Piggly Wiggly as they have meat on sale. I love that i can get online and view their sale ad’s. They have pretty good meat there.

After our shopping it was getting late and so we got home just in time to put our groceries away and then head over to the bon fire that the Rver’s are having tonight. We had a great time sitting around the fire and chatting and getting to know each other more. Randall and Janice are extremely nice people. Spending a few months with them is gonna be great!

Dinner with friends

I spent the morning not doing much of anything as my back is giving me fits again.

My hanging flower sure is looking so good with lots of blooms. I’m still finding lady bugs .. ugh these are horrible pest.

After lunch i went over and took some pictures of the progress of the building.

Some of the inside roof had to be torn out for preparations of the new roof that will tie the buildings together. More walls have been placed up and it won’t be long before they will begin starting the framing for the new roof.

Later in the afternoon another Rver pulled in and then that night we went to dinner at new friends Sonny and Sylvia place in Alabama. We had a wonderful meal of stew made with Catalina dressing .. It was so good, we also had slaw, Mexican corn bread and for dessert. Fellowship afterward our meal was wonderful and finally a little past 8 pm we decided we better head home.

Once we got home it was time for me to retire to my bed as my back is still bothering me. I watched the hallmark channel in bed.

To all those who serve

Today is about remembering all those who have and are serving our country. I thank those who are serving, served, and died for my freedom.

I haven’t really done much today, i did play around with my blog and gave it a new look. I haven’t felt the greatest, the ole back is reminding me it’s there.

Cleaning

It’s one of those dreaded days .. Yep .. cleaning day. I needed to vacuum, dust and a load of laundry. At 10 am i went over to visit with the ladies. Around 11 am i came home and finished up my cleaning. Lunch was left over’s.

After lunch i did a bit of Farmville and then spent my afternoon sitting outside enjoying the gorgeous weather.

Wednesday night dinner before church was excellent .. we had ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, home made chicken and noodles and brownies for dessert.

Pastor Bruce delivered a good sermon. After church we came back home and called it a night.

A Day of nothing

Today was a day of nothing. I was exhausted from the past few days. It’s amazing how I think i’m doing okay and then boom exhaustion hits me with my disability.

I did do my dishes and get the beef roast going in the crock pot. I finally got dressed a bit before 10 am and went over for break time to visit. I’ve been being good about doing that. I enjoy the fellowship. After that i came home and just relaxed.

Lunch was left over's and after lunch i rode to town with Evie, she needed some things at the grocery store. I had forgotten carrots and so i got those for tonight dinner.

Once we got back i peeled my potatoes and got them ready for later and just spent the afternoon sitting outside watching the guys and enjoying the beautiful weather. I did put my flowers back outside today and pray they don’t freeze tonight .. although they are saying it’s not suppose to. My evening was spent laying in the recliner catching up my blog.

It’s Monday

I slept in this morning as i had a ruff night of getting to sleep. Once i finally drug my bones out of bed it was very cool .. we’ve had a cool spell with the temps droping into the high 20’s at night and the day time being in the mid 60’s. I needed to start my laundry as i hadn’t done it all weekend. I love having the washer/dryer but small loads is all it can handle.

I decided to take my cappuccino and go over for break time with the gals and guys. Still lots of work to be done on the walls, but it’s coming along nicely.

After lunch Lonna and I ran into town to check out the 2 local dollar stores and then it was time to head home and get dinner going. Since this is such a small area and most food places are not open during the week i have been cooking on Mon, Tues and Thursday nights for our evening meals. Wednesday night the church has an evening pot luck and the weekends have been eating out as well. Tonight i forgot to thaw any meat out so i had some hamburger already cooked up and used it to make mostacholi .. it was good too.

I was out of bread and didn’t realize it when i was in town early a trip back to town was made to the local Piggy Wiggly. I purchased some pork chops and beef roast that was on sale as well. Then i called it a night and headed to bed.

A Day of Rest?

We got up and got ready for church and we had intentions of coming home and enjoying a quiet lunch and just relaxing … hmmm

Nope .. didn’t happen … after an amazing service we were invited out to lunch with Sonny and his wife Sylvia. We went back the to the Kountry Kitchen. We spent most of the afternoon visiting and enjoying the fellowship. We finally got home around 3.30 pm and hubby watched some football and i took a short nap.

Before long it was time for church and after church Jim and Lonna had returned from their weekend get away. I visited with Lonna a bit and then came home and drank a cup of cappuccino .. big time mistake!! I couldn’t get to sleep. Finally at 1.30 am i took a sleeping pill and got to sleep.
