:) Hello!!! How are you doing today? I'm at work watching the rain fall outside. We have been pretty slow this morning. Anna and I have been working on cutting business cards and finishing up a printing job for Bryson Middle School. :) It's been nice.
:) I'd like you to meet my Uncle Henry and Aunt Brenda.
(My dad is the youngest of four boys. Uncle Henry is the middle one of the older three.)
Thursday afternoon (right after I got off of work) I went home to pick up Adah, throw some clothes in a bag, and hit the road heading toward Rock Hill.
Looking back at pictures I'm reminded how much Adah's hair fits her. She would just not be the same if it had been straight!!! Last night we (Adah, Lance, JEB, and I) went over to Sheppard's apartment for a while. Adah was trying her best to get Sheppard to laugh by tickling his toes. After doing this for about a minute, she decided it was not going to work so started attempting to tickle his ear with some of her hair... Her hair was just curling around the end of her finger, and she could not see what she was doing. And all the while Sheppard was setting there with this "What in world does she think this is going to accomplish?" look on his face. :0) It was so funny watching her try. It looked something like this...
Anyway... We arrived around 5 and went for a walk around the lake.
Uncle Henry and Aunt Brenda live next door to where my dad's parents used to live. Granddad and Grandma have both passed away and the brothers decided to sell the land.
Aunt Brenda said the present owner is very nice and has given them an open invitation to come over and walk around any time they would like.
Here Uncle Henry is pointing at the fish eating bugs off the water.
:) Later Adah and I went shopping with Aunt Brenda while Uncle Henry went to his Bible study group. I had brought along a sewing job that had to be done by Saturday morning and was taking longer then I had thought it would to finish it. So after we had gotten back to the house, eaten, and played some games, Adah called it a night and did a little sewing.

Friday morning we went swimming. :) Uncle Henry gave diving lessons. I'm not very good at, and Adah had never dived before. :) After about two hours in the water, (Most of which was spent diving over a pole Uncle Henry was holding for us.) we are both much more confident about jumping head first in. Adah did suffer from a really bad belly flop and that set her back a little. It was fun!!! :)
I went back to sewing and Adah helped Aunt Brenda fix lunch.
It was very good.
Afterwards, we all sat around and talked for a couple of hours. :)
Adah looks a little tired.
Adah had the camera most of the trip. She took a ton of pictures.
After about the 6th picture in a row Uncle Henry said he was done smiling and thus the pouty lip. This of course led in to making faces....
Uncle Henry wrote instructions on a faster way to get home.... :) Us being two girls (combined with him saying get on to I-77 and leaving north and south off the directions) we took a slightly longer way home. Then...
:) going through Spartanburg we start hearing a well, not so healthy sound coming from under the hood on the passengers’ side. The temperature gauge shot over to Hot and the charge light came on. As quickly as we could we got off of I-85 and turned in several circles trying to find a place to stop. Coming to rest at a gas station we popped the hood having not a clue as to what we were looking for. There was a pool of coolant forming on the drivers’ side and without much looking we found pieces of a belt. :) Now having something with which to answer the 'well,... do you know what’s wrong?’ question. We called daddy.
(Dad's work truck had broken down that morning. He had been pulled over in a school zone for speeding, but was only given a warning. Mom was at a church ladies meeting and had the truck. When we called, Dad was at home with no way to leave.)
I texted Trevor after I got off the phone with Dad. He called me a couple minutes later. Then he called Dad. He had just got off of work and sweetly came and rescued us from have to sit longer in a very hot car. OUR HERO!
I finish the sewing job just in nIck of time and delivered it Saturday morning. :) I was very glad to have that one done!!!
Then later Daddy, Sheppard, Lance, JEB, and I went and picked up my car. Sheppard finished up the paper work and picked up the key for his apartment on the way home. :) We got home and Sheppard's stuff started being loaded into his truck. Adah, Lance, and JEB all went with to his apt. to drop it off and have a look around. :) I caught up on some of the sleep I had lost due to the deadline of the sewing project.
:) My car was taken to the mechanic Monday. Tuesday was a rather hectic heap of schedule combinations. The car was fixed and mom dropped a very thankful me off to pick it up Tuesday around 5 after a very full day of shuffling. I'm VERY glad to have it back!
(... and it was only gone for four days. I don't know how you did without your truck for months Trevor!)
So that's what my weekend was like. :) Lots of fun, though I do hope it does not happen again anytime soon.
Sorry this post is so long.
Have ya'll been having a good week?
Have a good day!!! :)
