Summer!!! So glad to come home and see your post that you did go to MB and it was what I expected that you had no power before you left. What a nightmare that must of been. I can't imagine getting ready to leave for vacation and having to clean out your fridge and all before you leave because the power was out. I'm so very sorry that it happened but so glad you were able to go and get the much rest you and Jim needed. One night last week the power kept going off and got right back on soon after. This happened about 7 times but although it was aggravating to have to reset the microwave clock and restart the computer and have it check for errors because of improper shut down I would rather have that then what you went through.

Well, in case you all were wondering how I did driving into Atlanta with my three sisters and all it went good. We found the hotel right off with those directions I found Thursday night it was only 2 turns once I got off of I-85. The reservations were there and we could walk to the Phillips Arena from the hotel so I parked the car and didn't get back in it till Saturday when the even was over. There were over 20,000 women there! It was unbelievable and CeCe Winans, Beth Moore and Travis Cottrell and the Praise Team was fabulous. I have come back a changed woman. And I don't feel I gained any weight either because even though the arena was close we still had to walk a few blocks. There were security everywhere and with the crowd of people walking together there was no fear of anything to happen to us. I am so glad I went and arrived home late Saturday night after shopping in Commerce Georgia at the outlets and then grabbed dinner with my sisters when we got home. Unfortunately, even though the room was perfect, the bed was so very comfortable I didn't sleep a wink being so tired from driving too I ended up with a migraine yesterday at church and had to have Jim to take me home. I feel much better today and got a much better night's rest last night than I have in weeks. In case you wondered, the other mom was to teach the sunday school class yesterday so I could go home.
Well, got to catch up on my laundry. I already did my bible study for Wed. morning and caught up on my email.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, OP day! (it's quite chilly here this morning!)

Rosey are you kidding?? $900??? Oh my what a win!! Congrats. That would buy my christmas for the year. Have you started yet? I know why you're going with DH today. You're going shopping. Hope all is well with everyone. I am still doing around here and want to stamp some cards before sun down and that's not but about 1 1/2 hours here lately. Yes donna it certainly was chilly out this morning wasn't it.

Summer I got your pictures and I have been on that pier and to nascar cafe although I haven't eaten there before. The last couple years we didn't go out to boardwalk or barefoot landing. We used to visit both places each summer but we've gotten lazy last couple years and stayed in the campground. I'm not real sure about your hotel although it looks familiar. Glad you're back and power on at any rate.
