Got home from Charlotte last Friday and haven't stopped since. Trying to get the house organized for the holidays and getting ready to move at some point. The formal living room had been turned into a storage room with boxes and bags stacked everywhere. It is now a habitable space!!! Will start working on the garage tomorrow.
Had Carotid Ultrasound done Thurs. Going to get results Tues. Don't really think they will find anything...at least I hope not. But if they do, we will have that "fixed" also. My legs seem to be doing really well.
Jim came home last night (Friday) for the weekend....but then surprised me and said he took the entire week of Thanksgiving off...YEA!!!! We have a lot of work to do and it will be wonderful to have him to help me out some or at least guide me to what/how to do it.
Tomorrow starts the baking!!!!!!

Still in Charlotte
We are still in Charlotte. Looked at a few areas for living. Thursday we got flu shots which means that Friday, I was out of it.. Happens every time but it only lasts a little while and its better than the alternative if I get the flu..
Friday afternoon we took off for Concord to go shopping at the huge outlet mall there. Not a lot of actual shopping as window shopping. We have gotten to the point of not really wanting anything...guess that means we have enough....I call it BLESSED!!!
Saturday morning we went to a cool little restaurant for breakfast, then back to hotel to put on pot of beans for Jim. He had a great afternoon of beans and beer. Too bad Bama lost the game. I spent the afternoon on my computer TRYING to clean some pictures out of my phone and organize them.
We also got a call Saturday morning telling us that my Uncle Billy had passed away. He fought a long fight with several conditions, including cancer. No one had any service plans at the time so we waited to see how things would go. They didn't wait long and services are Mon at 11am. No way I can get to Waldo, repack, then to Ozark in time. We even checked flights for me to fly home but nothing worked out. I called Merylon and we had a nice talk and sent flowers from the family. No real regrets because I always saw him every time I was in Ozark and talked to him the week before. I know he is at peace and in no pain now.
Today (Sunday) we decided to get out and "road trip". We (I) wanted to see the fall foliage and take a drive to the mountains, so we set the map for Asheville. We didn't realize we were so close. Only a 2 hour drive from Charlotte. Makes for a nice day trip. We rode through the mountains and the scenery was beautiful. We found a funky little BBQ joint in the downtown area. The food was fantastic!!! We sat around the hotel a little while this evening then decided to walk down to the sports tavern for a light supper. Turns out it was the happening place for the Panther/Packer game tonight. We had a blast eating wings and watching the crowd. Too bad the Panthers lost. Not a good weekend for football us, but excellent together time.

Getting updated
Not a lot of time for blogging. Things have been happening....Went trick (trunk) or treating Thursday at church with Logan. Had a blast watching him. Got to see Haden and Violet also.
Friday was spent cleaning and doing laundry. Jim came home Friday evening. Went to Sonny's for supper with Jake.
Saturday was spent watching ball games then to Ocala to have dinner with Kate, Sara, Jennifer, Jim and me. Lots of laughs and scratching our heads wondering why we dont do it more often.
Sunday was spent on the road to Charlotte. Stopped by to see the baby(Emily) and Zack. They seem to be doing well. We will spend at least 2 weeks in Charlotte looking around the area and Jim has projects he needs to see about on the building they are in the process of leasing. Praying that this goes thru. I think he is rethinking if this building falls thru like the others. Trusting that God will direct us in which way to go.
Not a lot done today. Jim on the phone and computer mostly, went to the building, and looked at a neighborhood we are interested in. Will look at another tomorrow. Trying to stay within a certain radius of the office because of traffic to and from work. Not making any commitments until lease is signed and they are moving in.
