It’s been awhile since I”ve written here. I went back to Va Beach to visit with Gentle Hands and Tink and the grandkids.

It’s very hard to cram all activities into 10 days but we did most of it. Somehow Tink missed taking me to her toy store, AC Moore. We only made it to one of GH’s toy stores, Lowes. Her other one is Office Depot but we didnt’ make it there.

I got to see Dancer practice some of her routines in class. And we have to come up with a new name for Gym Rat as she’s now taking horseback riding lessons. She sits the horse like a pro after just 2 lessons.

Didn’t get to see too much of Piper Dude as he is busy with jobs, and classes and girlfriend. HIs first final was today.

We did go to Busch Gardens and I bought the fun pass. This allows me to go anytime I manage to get up there thru Sept. 3 and was the same price as a days pass. We had a lot of fun.

Then somehow GH had a tire split and after we got home it became flat, so Sunday morning we had to mess with that. AAA crossthreaded a lug nut so now she still has to mess with getting that repaired. Fortunately tire guy was able to fix the tire and we didn’t have to get a new one.

The weather was a mess. According to Accuweather the daytime temps were going to range between 50 and 80 for the 10 day period. So I packed shorts, sweats and jeans, long sleeve and short sleeve shirts, and 3 types of jackets. Wound up using only the sweats the most of the time I was there, until the last couple of days. Then it was in 80s and I understand tehy are back down to the 50s today. No wonder everyone is sick and allergies are kicking up.

Had a lot of fun, looked at a house and it was very hard to leave. But I”m back home now and trying to figure out how to get the house sold so I can move permanently up there.

So two weeks ago I put away the sweats and the long sleeved shirts. But it’s only 37 this morning so I have the jeans on now and long sleeved shirts and long socks again. It’s a lot colder than normal for this time of year here in GA

who would have thought it would drop this much in April? This is more like March weather. Of course the verbena I planted last week probably died. the lavender plant had already died.

I had a meeting today at 2pm. Havning no other clock in here I kept checking the computer clock to make sure I wouldn’t be late.

I went into the kitchen to make Megans Pantry “Chocolate Mud” brownies and have breakfast. I came back to the computer and all of a sudden the morning was slipping away and it was almost time to go.

So I finish up everything, get in the car and I’m up the road when I realize the clock says 1215. What!! Then I check the cell phone, it says 1215 too. But wait I know the computer clock said 115.

So I call Tink to verify the time as I was still in the car and she says it’s only a litttle after 12.

Sure enough when I turned the computer back on it was an hour later. It has been doing this every week since I manually changed the time in March. Evidently while I was having breakfast it reset itself. You’d think I”d remember that by now.

So I relaxed and finished the paper and made it to my meeting on time.
