No Picture Today.....

We are going to Knoxville today to bring Ryan and Lucas home with us. They are on their Fall break and are anxiously waiting on me to come after them.
The leaves are finally turning bright colors here. It's raining this morning and I just want to get outside and stand in the rain. The sound on my tin roof is good. I will post more later on in the week! Thanks Jamie Dawn for checking in! I will be in church Sunday!

Three more pictures made at the house below....

This bedroom is upstairs.


And the kitchen.....
The bathroom.......

Potts Homeplace.....

This house is over 100 years old. It has been restored by the daughter. I went there yesterday and I didn't want to leave. It is georgous.
Here is the back of the house....
The Living Room.....
Another picture in the living room....
Claw Foot Tub..... No one lives in the house, but they go there for week-ends and for birthday parties and such. I have some more picture I will post later.

Here's What I Have Been Crocheting and Knitting....

Two hats, two pair of booties and a bib......
A little crocheted hat......
Crocheted hat a bib to match.....
Knitted booties.....They remind me of Crocs!! All of these are for a girl my daughter knows. She just had her first baby, and she has just found out she has cancer, all over her body. She is 24. I think that is so sad.

WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU GO OUT MY BACKDOOR TODAY!

This came up from a seed we spit out in the yard....The watermelon isthe size of a football today. I hope it has time to get ripe before the freezing weather comes upon us. Altho I am kinda ready for that to happen.
This is called :Farewell To Summer" It is in the aster family. I always enjoy it every year.
And here is some Lantana! It just won't quit!

OUR FEW DAYS AT MYRTLE BEACH......

This is the Highlander Band where my son Gary plays the bagpipes. He is the third one from the left. This was the Shriners Convention and it was wonderful. That was the best and the LONGEST parade I had ever seen! Ryan and I had a blast!!!!
Here is Ryan.....in front of the place where we ate. It was called "Crabby Mikes", and it sure was good!
And our Motel.....The Sand Castle. We stayed on the ninth floor. Bill is sitting on the balcony. You cannot see him, but he waved at me just as I made the picture.

P.S. I am so happy, I can finally post more than ONE picture at a time. It was my dial-up connection. The DSL is great!

MY MAMA TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE DAYS LIKE THIS......

but she didn't tell me they would all come at the same time!!!!! LOL Our trip to the beach was glorious, but when we returned to home, three major things happed here. First, the A/C Compressor went out on my car. I was out in it by myself and had to call Carolyn, my dear friend to come pick me up and bring me home. The next day, my car was towed home. We are not going to have it repaired, because it is getting old and has a lot of miles (like me). We are having our other car fixed. The air suspension things had to be replaced. That was a whopping 600.00 and some dollars. It is still in the garage being worked on.
Next, my septic tank wasn't working right and the water was backing up in my shower in the basement. My son dug down to the tank and removed the lid and the drain going into the tank was full of roots. I knew there was no way we could solve this problem, so I called the septic tank people and they had in opened up in no time. The told me to but Copper Sulfate Crystals and put half a tub in the tank and then flush the rest down the comodes. This is supposed to kill the roots in the tank and the drain. I pray it worked. But you can bet your life, I will use these crystals on a regular basics. That was terrible.!!!!
Next, my computer crashed while we were gone. I just now today got it back up and running. Had to have a new hard drive and Mother board, but the good part, now I have high speed internet. I'm not used to everything going so fast, but it seems good. The bad part is...I lost a lot of my pictures (but most of them were saved) and I hadn't backed up my favorite places. I doubt if I will ever remember all of them!
But life is good, at least, I'm still above ground. LOL Thanks Grammie, for asking about me....I am loving my new cat! I think he loves me too!!!
Hopefully in the next few days everything will be back to normal and I can get back to posting again. That is my wish!
