I feel very blessed to have finally it to this weekend.  I thought this day would not end.  I do not have to go back to work until Monday.  Tomorrow will be spent taking my wife out to lunch being that I had to work late on the day of our anniversary.  Afterwards I’m going to search for a smoker to smoke some ribs on Saturday.

I will not be seeing much of my twin daughters this weekend and that doesn’t set well with me. They both will be working.  They are only 17 and I really wished I could have talked them into not working their last summer before their senior year.  But, one daughter loves to shop and thinks she has got to go shopping EVERY WEEKEND and my wife simply complies to her wishes instead of arguing with her.  One thing that I don’t understand, and maybe it’s because I’m a male but why would you need to purchase a dress and wear it to one event and not be able to wear it to another event two weeks later.  My daughters excuse is because people may have already seen her in that other dress. Really?  So her closet if filled with dresses that she’s only wore once and more than likely will not wear again because someone else has already seen her in it.  The do shop well though.  She will find a dress that normally sells for $160 and find it on sale for $30 bucks.  Both my daughters are very smart shoppers and who ever marries them will be happy for that.

My internet is still down and I’m still having to go through my hotspot on my IPhone so I’ll leave my comments short.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I stayed too busy to really enjoy it but I did get to spend the time doing what I enjoyed doing.  Back to the grindstone tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone!!!

005

It’s been a rainy, dreary day here in the deep south.  Expecting rain the rest of the week.  We may have a decent weekend but that could change.  Oh well, can’t have everything.  At least it’s not freezing rain or snowing.

First day back to work since the time change.  I made it ok with no problems.  I’m actually looking forward to getting the rest of the week behind me and get to the weekend.  I’ve got an opportunity to teach at a college on Saturday afternoon and I’ve got a meeting to attend to on Sunday.  Not much of down time but at least I’ll get out of the house for a while both days.

Pictured above is queen bee, Sophie.  She thinks the runs this house.  She’s spoiled rotten and I must admit I’ve made her that way.  She follows me to the bathroom every morning just so that I can turn the water on in the sink so she can get a drink of water.  She does this too in the evenings as I’m getting ready for bed.  She doesn’t do this to anyone else but me.  She’s my sweet little girl.

Thank God tomorrow’s Friday.  This is the first week since Christmas that I’ve worked all week without taking off for some kind of doctors appointment.  It’s tough trying to build my vacation time when I’m constantly having to take off for either an eye appointment or a oncologist appointment.  In fact, I’m having to take a couple of hours next Tuesday to go back to the eye doctor.

Hopefully I’ll be spending some time with the family and maybe even some time behind the lense of my camera this weekend.  It’s been a while for both.  Sixty-two is the predicted high for Saturday and I might even get in a ride on my bicycle.u

The above picture was taken at the grist mill at Tannehill Historical Park in McCalla Alabama.  I love to go there and take pictures.  It has everything a photographer would want for a picturesque location.

“Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park has more than 1,500 acres in three counties set aside for hiking, camping and outdoor recreation. A miniature railroad chugs through the pines. From spring through fall, the blacksmith, miller and craftsmen demonstrate their trades. Craft shops occupy restored pioneer cabins and artisans chat with visitors from their front porches. Steeped in history, Tannehill feels timeless. The cotton gin, pioneer farm and working gristmill preserve a long-gone way of life. Hiking trails retrace historic roadways. Artifacts of Alabama’s 19th century iron industry displayed in the Iron and Steel Museum put in perspective the massive stone furnaces, Tannehill’s awe-inspiring centerpiece.
