One day, or several ...

One day I hope to be so organized that I could actually take and post my photos on a daily basis!  While I'm good at taking at least ONE photo each day, I never seem to make or take the time to get it posted.

So here is my next catch-up collage.  September 20 - 25.

On Monday we grilled lots of goodies!  Tuesday was my time for toes!!  Wednesday I had to leave work early, feeling B-A-D.  (And now I realize that my photos are out of order ?  : / )  On Thursday Allison was feeling bad and went to the doctor... she got a Rx of Tamiflu.  Friday I thought I was feeling better and made some more yummy goodies -- eggplant, peppers, baby bellos, and vidalia onions.  Then I was actually feeling better by Saturday and we had some friends over, at the end of the night there was one, lone beer.

09.19.10, FRISBEE GOLF ? ?

Have you played it??   It's sometimes called disc golf. 

This is what Mike and I did on Sunday  --  it was a nice day to get up and get out, so we did.

Another catch-up collage

This week of pix starts on Sunday, 09.12.10 with a big kiss and a hug, XO -- this can be found on the Yorktown Training Center Coast Guard Base in, you guessed it, Yorktown, VA.  Then it was back to the lanes on Monday -- Mike is bowling this season and I'm going to be the cheerleader!  ; )  Tuesday, I had the camera at work to take some pix of the students, and snapped a couple of my co-workers, Rachel (she's the one "waving", rofl ) and Pam (busy on the phone).  Then I tried cooking a beer can chicken -- it was delicious!  Thursday we had to go to the visitation for Virginia State Trooper, Mark Barrett -- he passed away during a dive training exercise.  Friday brought a great treat -- the boss shut the office down and took everyone out to TGI Fridays for a late lunch!!  Cheers to successfully getting thru the first two weeks of the 2010-2011 school year!!  Then today Mallory and I went for a yummy BLT on Cary Street at Mrs. Marshall's Carytown Cafe.  We sat on the sidewalk doing a little people watching -- always worth a chuckle or two!  ; )

Sweet Saturday

Sweet and Dry -- that's what you'll get on a wine tasting tour.

That's what Mike and I did today.  We went to Grayhaven Winery and then to Cooper Vineyards.  Cooper was much nicer and the wines were MUCH better -- Mike was extremely impressed by their Sangria!  We got a couple of Heart of Virginia Wine Trail glasses, talked to some nice people and enjoyed a nice drive.

Finally Friday

What an awesome way to end the week -- a week that seemed like it would go on forever and ever.  But it can all be soothed and forgotten when your boss lets you leave an hour early!!  Oh yea!!
Here's how I spent my "free" time.

I poured myself a glass of wine, took my book out on the deck, put my bare feet up and chilled!  After a bit of unwinding I got a blanket for a little nap in the shade on the hammock in the yard.  It was an awesome way to start the weekend after a VERY long 4 day work week.

3 x 3 = 9

Trying to get caught up...  September 1-9

The month of September started off right!  Mike and I waited until almost 7pm to eat dinner so everyone would be done with work and we met up at IHOP.  It was a real heart warmer to have all 4 of us at the same table -- and the conversation was light and fun!  It made my heart smile!!!  Then we celebrated our 21st anniversary on the 2nd -- I bought Mike a telescoping back scratcher for when I'm not around.  On the 3rd it was back to the empty nest, so we went to Cici's for dinner -- we are in love with their new Tuscan crust!!  On the 4th Mallory and I took a road trip to Misenheimer, NC where her boyfriend, Buck is attending Pfeiffer College, playing volleyball.  It was just a quick overnight trip, so on Sunday before we left we went to Pizza Hut for a bite to eat -- Buck wrote Mallory a note in pizza sauce!!  The 6th was Labor Day, and even the dog took a much needed rest!!  LOL   : D   NO, the 7th was not a day of celebration but a day of aggrevation -- a nice glass of Muscadine wine from Old Stone Winery in NC washed all the worries away!!  And by Wednesday, Mallory took a much needed nap.  Then by Thursday my feet had had all they could take of work shoes -- but I got tons on compliments on my new dress!!!!!!!!!!
