Septemer

Wow, it's hard to believe it's September. Where did the summer go? This month is really jammed packed for us.

Over the Labor Day Weekend we went to KY and spent a great long weekend with Nick and Shay. Since this was our 3rd trip to Louisville, we kinda just relaxed. We did alittle shopping at the Bass Pros Shop which was really cool. We enjoy another cookout at Shay's dad's which is always alot of fun and laughs. He grilled tri-tips (a type of steak) that we had never had and it was amazing. It was delicious!! At Nick and Shay's we enjoyed some snacks, drinks and a couple of rounds of Partini one night. We really just laid back, relaxed and enjoyed some good food. Of course we had to go to Mike Linings and enjoy their seafood. We invited Shay's dad, Ruthie and Mamaw to join us. We shared alot of laughs, maybe too much laughing for me. Those that really know me, know what happens when I laugh too much. Let's just say I really, really laughed way too much! That will always be a night to remember!

This past week, Chuck watched Reagan since Corey and Bobbie are changing her sitter. Chuck really enjoyed watching her though I think he was tired by the end of each day. It was so much fun to be able to have lunch with her each day and even go outside for a few minutes on my break with her. Working at home does have some advantages. Of course, Friday I had to go to Richmond and I missed seeing her. I rushed home so I would see her before Bobbie came to pick her up. We ended up taking her home, picking up some subs and enjoyed dinner at Corey and Bobbie's. I tried to teach Reagan to say Memaw but she insisted on NaNaNa. That's a smart little girl with a mind of her own.

Well, this weekend is almost over. We went to Sharon and Robbys for a cookout last night. Jimmy, Carolyn and Missy were also there. We had alot of fun and the party really got started when Robbie brought out the "Alabama Slammer" tubes. Chuck didn't care for it (especially since he was driving) and of course Jimmy couldn't have any but hey, Carolyn and I did our bottoms up. We got to hear all about their beach trip and how Sharon found Robby at the end of the bed, naked with head in cooler. Great story (HAHA)!!

Today we decided to try making some Pear sauce. Corey made some and told us how so we thought we would give it a try. It's really good! We even tried making some Pear butter too.

Chuck leaves for Richmond tomorrow to teach another class for the state. He will be gone through Thursday. Then next Sunday I fly to Milwaukee for a class and will be gone from Sunday through Friday. I think my flight get into Roanoke Friday night around 11 pm so Chuck is thrilled that he gets to pick me up late that night.

We are hoping to go to the Smith Mountain Wine Festival on the 27th since we always enjoy that. We may even go to Ole Salem Days on the 13th if we can fit it into our busy schedule.

Before we know it, September will be gone and we'll be looking forward to another trip to Louisville. This is the exciting trip --- the WEDDING! We are really looking forward to that.

Well gotta go do some laundry so I better wrap this up for now.

Until next time,
