Catch-up from Early September

I have really been a "slacker" when it comes to my blog! I thought when Ralph retired, things would slow down. Was I ever WRONG! We've had a lot of fun, but haven't stopped long at the time. I have some pretty good photos of all we've been up to and thought I'd share them--even if they are a few weeks old. I didn't want to just breeze past these events, so this blog and the next two will be "catch-ups".

Amy is working part-time now at Georgia State. She is counseling law students with career plans and helping them formulate their resumes. Most days she has her child care covered, but every once in a while she needs us to help. The above picture and the one below were taken the day Pressley stayed with us. We always love having her. She is full of personality and such a LOVE!

The picture below was taken Labor Day. Beth and David, Will and Abby were with us, but Amy's family had gone to Seagrove Beach with some friends for Labor Day. We missed them, but still had fun. Ralph grilled these steaks with Dale's sauce and hog rub on them. YUM!

Will loves to help keep the fountain full. He takes that job very seriously, but sometimes "accidently" get pretty wet!

Abby loves strawberries-so she really enoyed this dessert! It is a layered stawberry cheese cake.

Will got dibs on the top strawberry that was dipped in chocolate, but his Daddy was threatening to take it from him!

On September 10th, Ralph and I got away for a few days( three nights). Hilton Head Island is one of our favorite places to be, so we went down and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Resort. We enjoyed it so much! It wasn't very crowded, and the weather was beautiful!

We enjoyed eating breakfast at this little cafe at the Palmetto Bay Marina. I had the stuffed french toast, and it was delicious!

We just sat on the beach and relaxed, read, and watched the scenery. We said since we didn't have the grandchildren to photograph, we had to resort to photographing birds, turtles, flowers, etc.

The landscaping was beautiful! There were Adirondack chairs and hammocks everywhere. Maybe that's what Heaven will be like!

Watch for the next "catch-up" blog soon!
