Visit with Stella on August 28, 2012

 Stella had just got home from her first day at the day care center. She was all pooped out. When her dad dropped her off in the morning, she just cried and cried. The worker had to hold her for awhile. Then when we picked her up, we had to go by the auto repair shop and pick up Matthew's car. She had to ride in my car since that was where the car seat was. Well, all the way home she cried. Her daddy was not with her. But once home, everything just settled out.

 She was glad to be back with dad.

 She is a happy camper now.

 The little red spot on her face is where an ant had bitten her. Ants had gotten into the air conditioning duct and were falling down on her bed from the vent. She had several bits on her arms and legs.

 Talking over the day's happenings!

 What did you say dad?

 I am so glad to be home!

I am also glad that granddaddy came over today.

Edisto Beach August 2012

 For the last five years or so, Jan and I have spent a week at Edisto during August. This year Eddie Mack and Joyce were with us. We had a great time. One of the highlights was having dinner with Roy and Beth Smoak, Ginny King, and Beverly Warren. We had a mini St Paul's High School reunion. But I did not take any pictures. But on Friday night we had dinner at Joe and Liz's house and celebrated Joe's 69th birthday. This is three of the four Goodman brothers. Gary had come down and played golf with us but left early to return to home.

 We had dinner under Joe's beach house. Joe and Mike had barbequed ribs and roast. They are outstanding hosts.

 Granddaddy, I really like Time magazine!
