We're back!!!

We did make it back from Bama and we had a great time. We got home around 11:30 pm on July 17th. Thanks for the sweet comments about our home in Mobile. We have found a home here and we have been busy. We close tomorrow the 29th. Had to find someone to put in a mailbox. Bought a freezer to be delivered Saturday and two rocker recliners for the living room. We found a patio set (for the screened-in deck) but since they wouldn't let us buy it and hold it there until this weekend, we'll just have to hope they still have one this weekend. Blinds were installed yesterday and a storage building will be set up Friday afternoon. Also bought new bedroom furniture and mattresses for the girls. So all that searching and shopping wore me out...ha. Did have a night out at the steakhouse during that time, with a margarita...yum.

I finally have a home with a front porch...did have a small porch in Texas that held two Cr@cker B@rrel rockers. Hubby has his screened-in deck and regular deck. 

 Took these last two today when we did the final walk through.

We still have a month left on the apartment lease, so we don't have to rush to move everything in a weekend. 

Have a great Friday!!

Finally a good rain...

Thanks for all the sweet comments. The header picture is Shawn's daughter and son, they went down to the beach for the day. The top picture on the side is them too, when they were a little younger. The other two are our grandsons.

We sold our house in Alabama...Yay!  Gave the new owners the keys on July 6th.

Went to lunch with an old classmate and his wife on Wednesday. Same one who took the boys golfing. Enjoyed it, saw a couple of my teachers from high school too.

We had a good rain yesterday evening, started out with thunder boomers and lightning, but continued as a steady rain. A friend of mine and her little boy came by and her, Mom and I sat outside and talked and watched it rain. The only drawback, it was a little muggier outside this morning.

Oh yeah, Rylie (dog) turned three yesterday.

Have a great day!
Take care,
Sheila

The 4th and Family...

We had a wonderful 4th of July. My brother Carl and his family were here over the weekend. My youngest brother Shawn and his family got here early Sunday morning and left Friday evening. A friend I graduated with set the boys up with a golf game at the country club on Sunday afternoon (yes, the little town I'm from has a country club believe it or not...ha).

The girls went for a pedicure in Enterprise while the boys played golf. We had a lot of company during the week. We ate good too...ha. Grilled hamburgers, brats, sausage and chicken, Grilled fajitas another night, a night out at the Mexican restaurant and of course a steak night.

Now all that's left are me and the girls. We'll head home on Saturday. Jarin is heading down to Mobile to see her friends today. Cori went down and stayed with friends the first week we were here. I have been reading and catching up with my blogs. Jack I need to find the owner of that 'Alabama RV' so I can buy it...ha.

Have a great day and try to stay cool in this heat!
Take care,
Sheila
