Back from Gainesville

 Got back from my Gainesville visit last week.  Have been busy looking for houses and getting caught up on laundry.  Enjoyed seeing all the children and grandchildren.  Made our rounds while Jim was with me...then he flew back to Charlotte and left me to visit at my leisure.  Spent Jennifer's birthday with her and Logan.  We spent the day shopping at the mall and Hobby Lobby.  Then to her favorite restaurant  Las Margaritas with Jerry and Rachel, then home for her ice cream cake.  I think she enjoyed herself.  

Spent a couple of days helping Rachel unpack in her new apartment.  Loaded bookshelves, hung some pictures and worked on the boys bathroom.  

Jenny and I had lunch with JR and Logan.  The boys requested Sonny's ... JR wanted a turkey sandwich and Logan said ...bring me the redneck egg rolls and a slab of ribs.😱  After Sonnys, we went to Browns Farm stand and bought some fresh vegetables for lunch Sunday.

Saturday, Ms Violet had her end-of-year dance recital.   She did great and I loved all the little costumes, but the showcase was the "Father/Daughter" dance.  Didn't know Jon could actually move in sync to music...lol.

Sunday revolved around food....I had bought some fresh corn, so I sat on porch and shucked it, then inside to cut off cob for fresh cream corn...also bought some white acre peas, and had boiled potatoes...fried bacon and fried cornbread.  I think everyone enjoyed themselves..lol.  Rachel came out with the boys and all the neighborhood boys, Logan and Camden played outside.  

Tuesday was a long ride home.  Seems that road gets longer every time I travel it.  BUT I was definitely glad to get home and into my own bed.  Jenny and Jerry are great hosts and Logan always gives up his bed, but it's nothing like being in your own.  Best part of this was Jim didn't know I was coming home.  I haven't seen him grin that big in a while.  He definitely doesn't like taking care of himself. 

Now to bring everything up to date...I woke up this morning around 3am and knew something was "off".  My vision was blurred and my eye didn't feel right, so I go in the bathroom and frightened myself.  My left eye is matted and gunky....PINK EYE!!!  OH NO!!!  DrOnDemand is a wonderful thing.  They called in for my eye drops and Jim brought them home.  Now it's drops for 6 days and hopefully this won't pass to Jim.
