Wanted to drop in to say hello! I can hardly wait for summer to be over - for MANY reasons - but mostly so that I can be back with y'all each and every day. I miss you all SO MUCH! Staying really busy but managed to take a few days two weeks ago and go to Gatlinburg with my daughter for a few days. I go there several times per year but it never gets old. I will be taking a trip next week to Savannah with my cousin, Betty, and am really looking forward to that, too! 
Always love going to Savannah, too.
A few updates:
Haven't heard a thing about that teaching position I told you all about a few weeks ago.
My son, Jason, has been out of the house for a few years now but has recently moved 45 miles away! It's killin me! lol Don't know how you folks with kids FAR away survive it! My daughter, Julie, lives on the other side of our property in our log cabin - and that's plenty far enough away for me. ;-) Before Jason moved, he was only about 6 miles from me.
It has been soooo hot and miserable here this summer. Nothing unusual. I'm sick of it. I've NEVER liked summer - at all. I'm tired of all these 95-103 degree days with the high humidity. You folks up North and out West, you don't know NOTHIN bout these conditions!!!!! Count you blessings! We've been under heat warnings for days too. We've just had a friendly little thunder shower roll through and bring our temp down to 83, and it's 12:15 am... at night. Every day of our summers is like living in a sauna. Hot, sticky, wet and miserable.
Guess you've all heard on the news about BP's Deep Water Horizon oil rig blowing up back in April and the unstoppable gusher (unstoppable until last week, but it's still leaking even with its new cap) and how it has devastated our coastal areas here in the South. Living here, we see it on our news constantly. So many families have lost their jobs because they aren't able to fish, do their shrimping, boat tours or anything else. Businesses on the beaches of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle have had to close down because tourists are not going to our beaches. Here in Bama we deal with different conditions on our beaches daily. Some days they are beautiful. The next day we deal with oil slicks and/or tar balls washing up. My heart breaks for all the wildlife we've lost. Our beaches have sand that is as white and clean as sugar and our Gulf waters are emerald green, but thanks to BP, things are changing. BP continues to pump their lies to the media about all they are doing, but believe me, it's mostly a pack of lies. When you live here, you see a whole different story. Granted, I do not live on our coast; I live in the mountains of North Alabama, but we get a first hand view and constant updates, each and every day.
Those of you who know me, KNOW, I am counting the days till football season!!!!!! Local high school football kicks off on August 27th, and BAMA kicks off on September 4th. CAN'T WAIT!!!
No decision on the book writing. No time to even think about it lately. Will give it more thought a little later on but don't know that I want the headache of doing it.
I've bored you long enough. Will check back in a little later. Love to all of you!
