still in the hospital

We're still hangin out in the hospital. he's passing all his tests with flying colors...he's just a stubborn male that doesn't want to eat! I'm sure there's more info on Charles' blog, so head on over there! I'm on my way!

The weather is awesome, no humidity!

Little Guy

Well, it looks like I'll get to experience seeing my new nephew for the first time in the hospital just like if he was just born! He is okay, just dehydrated, so they're feeding him and all that and monitoring his intake. Not sure when he'll get to go home either, I suppose when he's eating right. He's gained 4 oz already, whohoo!

Everyone have a good week! Pictures to come! :)

We're still alive

Yup, we're still here...sweating like pigs...eating like kings and queens...

We tried a new place over the weekend, Bella's Italian Restaurant. Eh...don't worry, it's not on our "must eat" list for visitors. I got pizza and Greg got lasagna. The 'za was blah and the lasagna was so-so. Our waitress tho? She apparently wasn't in a good mood that night! She was unpleasant and did not pass my test. No no no.

No beach the past weekend. We got suckered into Sam's club! Now we can buy 500 rolls of TP in one package and a 50 pack of razors! Yahoo!

We missed the Dodge County Fair this past weekend for the first time in eon's. Cheap Trick we luckily saw open for Aerosmith a couple years ago...but I'd like to have seen SheDaisy! La La La!

In 4 short days from now I'll get to see my new nephew Saul! Yay!!! I'm so excited I could pee my pants. Here's the latest shot courtesy of my sister...ain't he a looker!


My camera is ready for 100+ pictures, so be ready for the onslaught when I get back!

That's about it for now...I have to go start supper, spaghetti, I'm lazy. I'm going to attempt blackened chicken again tomorrow night. My first try awhile ago wasn't very black, so we'll see!

Stay cool ya'll!

Adventures!

We did something today! How 'bout that! We decided to take a drive north on Hwy 17 and see what we could see. Well, we didn't see a whole lot and on the way decided we wanted to see some plantations. As we got closer to Charleston we saw a sign for this place, Magnolia Plantation, and decided that was the place to go. (click on the line below the photo or the link on the left for Pictures to see the rest.)

It was really neat and about time we did some sight-seeing! After we tired of walking in the sun (which only happened later in the afternoon, prior it was gorgeous out as you can tell by my hair actually being down and not in a pony tail for once), we headed towards Charleston. We were actually in North Charleston, which seems to be more of the suburbs type area. We found a downtown area and parked and stumbled across the shopping district. Comparable to State St. in Madison, but with one way traffic and narrower sidewalks. We ended up eating at Mellow Mushroom (who can pass up that intro!) Then we walked around a-bit and then went to investigate further the invisible Fort Sumter tour. If you remember last time we went to Charleston, we couldn't find it for the life of us. Well, this time it was easy! There's a Monument with Tickets right inside. So we went in there and got the information for next time. By now it was already 4pm and no more tours going out...we were both pooped anyways. Then we headed home.

Greg's watching Night of the Living Dead I think and I'm writing this. Entourage is on at 10 so I have to stay up for that! That show makes me giggle. I tried to do the interview with Ari, but shooting up zombies is way to loud right now.

We haven't been up to too much else. If you haven't guessed by now the owner on that house didn't go for our offer. Fine, let it sit empty sucker! So now we really will be patiently waiting for some lucky person to buy the house in WI. (Oh this movie is gross.) I'm going to California in two weeks to see my handsome new nephew! Yay! I'm so excited! Hopefully I'm helpful and not a hindrance! Gramma & Grampa will be there too. (Greg is watching this movie in the dark! Eeeek!)

Toodle-loo ya'll. Hope your weekend was great!

Oh, my bad, it's Land of the Dead, not Night of the Living Dead. But then again, what's the difference. Yuck either way. :)

Test


packed up and ready to go!

I'm experimenting with this thing. Here they are packed up and ready to go!

Okay, if you click on the "packed up and ready to go" you should be able to see all the photos from the trip. They keep coming up in reverse order, which is pee'ving me off...so if you can figure out how to start at the end and go back, that's the right order! Whew! And now I just noticed you can't see the packed up and ready to go...just move your curser under the picture on the colored line and it will change to the finger to go to the new link and click. I'll keep my fingers crossed. :)

And they're gone.

side note: pictures aren't posting, I will figure that out and post again soon!

What a wild week! Hard to believe it's over already, but it is. Brett & Diann just pulled out for their journey home. They're trying a different route back up and will be going thru some mountains, sounds pretty cool! They took care of themselves during the day time hours we were at work...finding lots to do. They visited a couple historic parks, the beach, the Harley shop and wandered into South Carlonia. It was pretty hot out the whole time too, but that probably helped work off all the food we ate! Here's a recap!

Arrived Saturday Night. We ate at The Pirate's House, met the new owner of that and then did a little walk along River St and then went into City Market so they got to see Greg's old stomping ground.

Sunday we went to Tybee. Of course it had to sprinkle the whole time we were there, but it was still fun. We ate breakfast at The Breakfast Club...a small wait and a table in the direct path of the AC vent, but the food was awesome. Sunday night we walked downtown and ate at MoonRiver and then went on a ghost walk! Our 3rd one and it was a little different of course.

Monday night once everyone was home and ready we went to Jalepenos! Yay! that was good. I like it a lot. Then we went to Publix and got ingredients for Brett to make Chicken Taco's! Not in the same night of course!

Tuesday night Brett cooked his chicken tacos. They were delish and even better as lunch the next few days! :) I think we just hung out and watched a movie...Dazed and Confused I believe it was...those two had never seen it and being high schoolers in the 70's, we thought it was a must!

Wednesday was glorious! It was hotter than blazes, but we went out to the Crab Shack. I think we found one of our new favorite places! We sat outside (it's on the water) and they had big fans and misters, so it wasn't too terrible. I saw a dolphin out in the cove, they had cats running around and the food was awesome! So now you know when you're here to visit one of the for sure places to go.

Thursday night we treated them to a Thursday Sunset at Tubby's. Luckily we were able to sit up in the tree house which was enjoyable, although a bit warm! After dinner (my burger was not cooked to my request...always get seafood at Tubby's...lesson learned!) we watched the little girls and boys enjoy their meat market for awhile.

Finally Friday! Work week is over! It's still hotter then H-E-Double Hockey Sticks. We decided to go down to River St and eat at Huey's. Food was awesome and the bar area was great, but rest of the service was so-so. Usually it's so great. Oh well...can't be perfect every time I guess. After dinner we walked around River St, went by the Waving Girl and then headed over to Savannah Blues to listen to the band and hang out for awhile.

This morning we went to Clary's for breakfast...the one out on habersham, not the "famous" one. This one's a little more low-key and the food is just as good if not better than the "original". After that we went out to Bonaventure cemetary. They had been out there one other day, but didn't find Garcie's statue, so off we went and found it, walked around and looked at dead people. Then we headed home and they packed up and were off!

Now it's over, Greg's fast asleep on the couch while Porter lays still as a board on the floor. I'm about to join them too. Zonk! We survived our first visitors and experienced new things too, it was great! Now back to the real world, cooking at home and hanging out with each other.

Jeff have a quick and healthy recovery!
Happy Birthday Steve!

Have a good weekend ya'll
