Just came back from spending the day out on the water… I do live on an Island afterall. Not many people can say they live 4 miles away from the mainland. Lucky for me, I have generous friends who occasionally invite us to join them for a day out on their boat. Sometimes we go fishing… other times, like today, it’s simply a boat ride to have lunch at Mudcat Charlies in the Two-Way Fish camp on the Altamaha River near Darien. (more…)

It’s funny going to the grocery store with my husband… he turns into some 90something year old curmudgeon complaining about the costs of things. “I remember when such and such only cost 30 cents…” stuff like that… really funny since he’s only about to turn 38. Since getting married, he no longer does much grocery shopping. In our house… as the designated cook, I do the groceries. If left to him, I would find I had nothing with which to make for dinner but lots of fruit in the fridge and junk food in the pantry with little of anything else in between. (more…)

Spent this morning at the movies… probably the earliest movie I’ve ever seen, but it was free and so was the popcorn – for breakfast, no less! Our local orthodontist, Dr. Weaver, apparently does a Patient Appreciation day each year, so this was their 3rd Annual event. He rents out the entire theater in Brunswick for a 10am showing – which this year was Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Can’t say I’m a huge Ben Stiller fan… but all in all, if you absolutely suspend reality and quit asking those nagging questions like: if a plane exhibit flies out of the Air & Space Museum and crashes into the Smithsonian Castle, wouldn’t some sort of alarm be triggered… the movie is pretty entertaining. There was a huge turn-out… apparently, there are a lot of folks around here under orthodontic care.
