Dr. Victoria

Tired long day w/ computers. Longing for my Tori pooh.

Thanks to all of you! I am so lucky to have blessed uplifting people like you in my life. To all the night teachers I will miss you. I promise to visit when I am out that way stuck in traffic. As soon as Victoria is oriented into school life I will try to take on a class. Until then if it is willing of the day staff I will be seen then.

We really enjoyed the cake! The balloon and flowers were a hit with Victoria (and me)!

My sincere appreciation to all of you.

Thank you Thank you!

Thanks again. I hope this video conveys to you what I feel for all the teachers and students both those I have had the pleasure of teaching and those that were so friendly to introduce themselves to me even though I was not their teacher.

Rhonda had a cheese and bacon burger and it was good!!

Dan had a blue cheese burger.

Victoria, Nana and Pop had fries with theirs. Rhonda had fried okra -- okra is cut length wise and dipped in tempura and flash fried. Dan had
vodka onion rings! We all tried all the sides.

Spirit Week
Victoria attended St. Benedict's first VBS. She had a wonderful time. This was the first event for our new church on the new church property in the new church building. It was centered around Recycling and taking care of our earth. Victoria came home telling us she had played with worms! I said " Yeah! you go girl! Dirt never hurt anything!" She also played with frezbies. She enjoyed eating grapes, apples, bananas and goldfish and graham crackers. Made compost, played with worms and bugs. They learned about recycling. They painted hands on papers. They made bags for MUST ministries and necklaces and bug jars for themselves. They also got a shirt that they all wore on Friday. She enjoyed it alot. Thanks be to all the volunteers for Spirit Week and for Courtney Vaughn for her great leadership!

Sunday activities

We started the day off by getting ready for church. Then after church we came home. Nana and Pop was here already. We talked and talked. Then we started getting everything together for dinner. We had rib eye steaks that Dan prepared. We also had baked potatoes, salad, macaroni & cheese and crescent rolls. Then Dan had to take the logs and stump to Courtney at the church. Once he got back home, Dean stopped by on his way back to Savannah. The rains and T&L began.
We are now all lying on the bed watching . . . . . The Parent Trap.

Hope you had a great Sunday!

Happy Fourth of July (2009)!!!!

Happy Birthday America!

We left Smyrna for Lake Martin in Alabama on Friday (3rd) to meet up with family and friends. We arrived to some wonderful food and drink and fellowship! Catching up with family news and seeing family we haven't seen in a while. Sitting out in the clear air by the lake and listening to nature.

After a good night sleep, we awoke to beautiful nature, sunshine and a lot of lake!!!!
Victoria was eager to get in "the pool" meaning the lake. Jonathan had to gas up the boat and get ice so he offered to take us for a boat ride. He thought Victoria would love it and she did!!!!!

Here she goes! She is loving the wind. She yells out at Jonathan (Captain of the boat) go faster!!!

Today is the one year anniversary of Grandma's death. Tori had been wanting to go to Tybee and since Grandma is the one who made it happen for the first time it was fitting that we go on the anniversary of her parting from us. We had originally planned to go in the evening however the tides were not right for us so we packed up the car and went in the morning time. We arrived at Tybee around 11 am and went on the beach. Papa and Tori immediately went in the water while I got the blanket and bags settled for a spot. I then joined them. We stayed at the beach for about 3 hours. Needless to say Tori and I got burnt! I didn't feel the pain until 2 days later.
We met some new friends Laney and Jeremy (I hope I spelt their names correctly!) and their mother Aimee and their Aunt Wendy. Laney, Jeremy, Victoria and I played in the water. We also tried to make a sand castle. We stayed until 1:40 pm and then we left.
