LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2010




The weather this weekend couldn't have been any better. All I wanted to do was be outside. Eden, Baker, Beau and Nicky were having the annual dove hunt at the farm, Leslie had a class reunion in Aberdeen, John had his dove hunt in the Delta and Abby had Skyler to keep her occupied. I hung out with Caroline and spent a good bit of time enjoying my new favorite past-time, bike riding.

When I was in Washington I injured my foot walking too much without enough cushion and probably caused a stress fracture. As a result I can't go on my daily walks, but I can ride a bike. I got Caroline a baby seat installed on the back of my bike and spent a little time on Saturday getting used to it. She seemed to like it, but fell asleep after the first ten minutes.

Caroline spent Saturday night and most of Sunday with her Bevvy, so Abby, Skyler and I went to early church, then I laid by the pool and read Eat, Pray, Love. In the evening I took the bikes to campus and Leslie, Caroline and I rode about ten miles around town. Then Monday we drove out to Sardis and walked the nature trail, then drove to John Kyle and rode bikes around the park.


Needless to say, I got nothing done in my garden, but thanks to the yard mowing fairy, Bruce, my grass has been neatly mowed every week since March. Some of the best money I ever spent.

DOWNTOWN DC GARDEN

This urban garden was located in the triangle-shaped median between Maryland Avenue, Independence Avenue and 6th Street, and directly across the street from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I spoke with a lady who was there tending her plot (or rather I fired off questions to her and she answered them) and she said that when the space was set aside as a community garden people reserved a plot on a first come first served basis. There is a strict set of guidelines under which it is governed. Everything must be organic, no trees or large bushes and if the plot is not well-maintained then you lose it and it goes to the next person on the list. She said there is a long waiting list. As you can see there was a bit of everything, from squash to peanuts. I found it fascinating and delightful!

JULY 4TH IN THE GROVE

We had a really fun 4th of July. We went to the Grove and listened to some music and visited with family and friends. After dark we walked over to the baseball field for the fireworks. Caroline was scared at first and started to cry, but we put her ear plugs in and she snuggled up to me and fell asleep.

FAMILY VACATION 2010

We took a true family vacation this year. We spent a week in Hot Springs and everyone was there. Eden and me, Leslie, John and Caroline, Baker, Beau and his girlfriend, Allie, Abby and her boyfriend, Skyler, Nicky, Mama and Daddy. We had a wonderful time. The weather was extremely hot. I think record-setting highs for Hot Springs, but we still loved it. Although the condo we stayed in was not clean when we got there (we cleaned it ourselves) and the air conditioner gave us some minor problems, it was very nice and comfortable and right on the water. We did lots of boating, eating and spent time together . I especially loved the Garvin Gardens, although I didn't get to spend enough time there. We took Nicky and Caroline up on the mountain on our way out the last day and collected some of the hot spring water from a fountain downtown to take back with us. It really was a perfect vacation, only not long enough.

POLAR EXPRESS DAY 12/17/2009

Each year I try and go to Leslie's class and read to them at least once. One of my favorites to read is the Polar Express during Christmas. Leslie makes apple cider and the mothers bring cookies. The kids all wear their p.j.s and I make bell necklaces for them to wear so they can ring their bells too.

This year Mama and Caroline went with me so it was very special.

We're in full swing around our house getting ready for Christmas. It will be much more fun this year trying to see everything through Caroline's eyes. She won't care as much about getting presents as we will about giving them. If we can keep that in mind we'll be much better off. We are enjoying the decorating though and so is she.


Caroline has already had more than her share of pictures made in her Christmas attire.

Today was a day of much celebration and was an absolutely beautiful fall day. At 8:45 a.m. both Caroline and her Daddy were Baptized. There were many friends and family members present and five generations represented on my side of the family. As Warren pointed out, Caroline had 5 Grandparents, 6 Great Grandparents, one Great Great Grandmother and numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins on hand for this very special day. Caroline was her usual sunny self and seemed to bask in the glow of adoration.

We celebrated too Grandma's 90th birthday, which is impossible to believe. She still carries herself and behaves like a much younger woman.

They seemed to enjoy it, but the main attraction was of course, Divine Miss Caroline Sunshine.
