    Yes, I finally made it back

    Our vacation was good, but it wasn't without its drama.  Hubby's father was being pig-headed and went down some stairs with out a light on.  He missed a step and fell and broke his arm near his shoulder.  So, hubby's parents left a day early.  I have to admit I wasn't at all sad to see them go.  The beach was amazing and we still managed to have a great time.  I got several books about ghosts and haunted Savannah locations.  I've already started reading them.
     
    It has finally begun to cool down around here.  Work, as usual, is awesome and I've just been busy doing paperwork and organizing. LOL  Football season is well underway and in the South, I've really learned that football here is like a religion.  I'm stunned at how life just STOPS when a football game is being played.  From high school to college to Pro, people in the south seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to the throwing of the "pigskin".  Hubby becomes physically and mentally paralized when the games are on and I'm actually glad that he's out of the house and helping out the local high school team.  He doesn't seem to understand that I don't give a hoot about football.  I don't know the players, but with the high school team, he manages to ramble on and on about the players.  He knows them by name and proceeds to tell me about the game.  Personally, I'm just not interested.  Books, movies, music, I'm there with ya and LOVE to hear about it; football, forget it. 
     
    Boo is doing well and loves to play outside.  Boo is no longer a she, but is, in fact, a HE!  He and Morris are best friends and are learning to get along with their respective mothers and love to run around in the yard, teasing the dogs.  Don't worry, the cats have learned their lesson.  Hubby and I are going to be working on a new project now that the closet and spare rooms are finished.  We are going to be moving our chain link fence inward and shrinking our fenced in yard by 1/3.  Don't worry, all of the dogs will be fine, but now we'll be able to build on to our existing side porch and then screen it in.  Our plans for this endeavor include possibly adding in a hot tub/spa, and possibly connecting our porch to Oasis. This will possibly add 2 rooms to our house which will be even better!
     
    Mom and Dad are headed to New York City the week after Thanksgiving so I'm going to be out of town petsitting for them.  I hope they will have a great time as they are going to be with a group of friends for this trip.  I would love to go as I KNOW I would love to get back "home", but as it stands, maybe later in life.  :)  Hope you're all doing well.  Take care!
