We’re back from Gatlinburg. We had such a great time.  A lot of the time was spent just being lazy and being together. We enjoyed ourselves a lot but it was also good to get back home; especially since the bed there was hurting hubby’s back: it was hard as a rock! As a matter of fact, we actually slept in separate beds part of the time we were there. The master bedroom had a king size bed and the second bedroom had two twin size beds and hubby ended up in there for about 4 nights. It was so weird; he’d kiss me good night and then go to the other bedroom! I told him it felt like I should be in a bundle bag or something like they did in the 1800’s when couples were dating. Oh, well; he slept more comfortably and his back felt better when he slept in the other bedroom. Being the ornery person I am, I told my brother that vacation was good except we ended up in different bedrooms by the end of the week. His look was priceless! I straightened it out though and told him what really happened. He smacked me; it was worth it.  

We had letters waiting from our recruit when we got home. She sounds like she’s doing better. She’s gotten involved in a Bible study there and has made some friends. She has some responsibilities within her division and she’s playing the saxophone in the band. She’ll be playing at a couple of graduations in addition to playing at her own. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We all appreciate it.

This week, it’s going to be just my youngest daughter and myself at home so we’re going to go out to eat and go watch the newest Kate Hudson/Anne Hathaway movie-can’t remember the name. We’re also going to rent Tyler Perry’s (you would not believe how many times I’ve called that beautiful man Steven Tyler! Don’t know why; just happens) newest movie on dvd-the Family that preys and maybe his play marriage counselor. Then, she is going to help me re-dye: yes, you read it right-re-dye my hair. Hubby and I did it in Gatlinburg this week-auburn-and we left it on too long. It’s not too bad but it’s too red for me. I could wear green and pass for a leprechaun!  :)  So, a nice dark brown-my natural color-is what I HOPE to end up being!

Eating went well. I ate some things that I don’t normally eat but I got my fruit, veggie and water intake and exercised as planned. Tomorrow, it’s back to the straight and narrow.

Hope all is well with everyone. Have a great weekend!
