Girls studying Monet

Haley and I were disappointed that there were only 5 Monet paintings at the High. We certainly expected to see more. Oh well...Paris and Giverny spoiled us, as they should. We are blessed by all our travels. May these grandkids appreciate all life has to offer!

Enjoy your Thursday. Dropping Dick off at MARTA for an adventure without me. Stay tuned...

Sunday - time for a road trip...

I am heading to ATL today with our two gals and the 4 grandkids for a few days of fun. We have a free place to stay at Brian's empty house (he and Jason flew to Key West yesterday to fish and dive this week with friends), so we are taking full advantage of that.

Today, we are visiting the Atlanta High Museum of Art to see the Monet exhibit that is on display. We also plan to go to Fernbank to see some dinasaurs. Doodlebug is VERY excited about that, and that will compensate for taking him to the High! Shopping is also on the agenda. And eating. And maybe doing *nothing*. We'll have fun, that is for sure.......and we'll have pictures to prove it! Do you think this will be a scrapbook opportunity? You can count on it!

Oh yes, big news! While Scooter was here on Thursday, Dick got some quick videos of him doing his crab crawl, since we knew his crawling days were numbered....bingo...he took his first MAJOR steps Friday for Aunt Haley, about 10 of them before he realized what he was doing and dropped to the floor. He had taken just a few steps for his mommie already, so this was quite an accomplishment in distance. There will be no stopping him now! Now we'll have TWO boys to chase.

BTW, thank you to all my online friends for leaving comments for Mark yesterday. You can still do it if you missed out. He won't mind at all.

Whatever you do today, put a smile on someone's face.

Le Tour and Saturday stuff...

Woohoo...3rd place on the podium tomorrow for Lance! Not bad 'for an old fart,' he said. No, not bad at all at his age (almost 38...hey, that's OLD in cycling circles), and after his stint at retirement. Welcome back, Lance. Long live the long ride!

Dick and I were the 'team car' for Brian and a friend back for the '03 Tour. We dropped off our riders on the Tour course and then picked them up at the end of their run, doing this for a few days that hot week back in '03. That was quite an experience for our two cyclists, being able to ride the same course that the pros were about to race on. And Dick and I enjoyed the watching the pre-race car parade, and vying for the *stuff* thrown from all the advertisers. We got a lot of loot!

Mont Ventoux was a real butt kicker for our kids, just as it was today for the current riders. It has been nice, remembering the good times from that trip. Dad and I are ready to provide team support again, Brian. We'll meet you for a beer at the end of the course!

Tonight, we head to church for a 'low country boil' supper for the whole parish...with enough desserts to feed all of Mayberry, so the rumor goes. Count me in!

Enjoy your Saturday! Life is good!!! Cheers...
