The Ding-a-Ling Sisters

This past weekend I was in Mobile, Alabama helping my mom after she had heart surgery. Since I had no children to tow around I took advantage of it and went out with my sisters. We decided to go out to Crooked Martini and watch the Alabama/Georgia game. Of course, Alabama won and moved to No. 2 in the Polls (ROLL TIDE) and my beloved Gators...Okay they lost but I still love them. My kids call me an AlaGator fan but when the Gator's play Alabama, it's GO GATORS!

When my sister's and I get together we always forget to take pictures, mainly because we never bring a camera. This time we used my cell phone. As much as I hate my Blackberry Pearl; it does take a decent picture even I look somewhat photogenic.

From Left to Right; Me (43), Terri (45) and Renee (41)

The night out started with me getting a bruise on the back of my left calf. Lesson learned: when sitting on a shaky table don't wiggle your butt to make it shake more, result a collapsed table and very bruised legs. The bruise on the back of my left calf looks horrible and my ankle is even swollen. I also have a small bruise on the back of my right calf. And for those of you who are thinking...NO I was not dancing on top of the table, although that probably would have been fun if they had been playing some music instead of football games.

It's a pretty bruise, this picture does not do it justice. You know your bruise looks horrible when strangers stop you saying, "Mam, do you know you have a massive bruise on the back of your legs?" I think I need to come up with a better story than a collapsing table. Any ideas?

Okay so I made you wait a couple years.  I promise I will try to get better at this.  Now to help  you catch up on what happened in 2018, 2019 and so far in 2020. Let's see...this might be a very short post at least for the years 2018 and 2019.   2018 In 2018, Brad graduated from the Univeristy of Alabama with a BS Degree in Economics and Philosphy in May. He is still dating his high school sweetheart, McKenzie, there is talk of marriage.  After graduation, Brad got a job with Reuters as part of their Graduate Leadership Program.  Then the division of Reuters that Brad worked for became Refinitiv.

It's been a while. Did you know...

that Ashley was in the hospital  after Thanksgiving and before Christmas?  She had a bleed. She has varices.  Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2.  It was sudden, shocking, and sad.  We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms.  Not sure if we will ever get another dog.  Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses.  She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home.  We think we may have finally found just the place.  Maybe som...

Some Things

NO SURGERY.  Yes, you got it Brad does not need surgery on his elbow. The MRI results showed no tears, breaks, pulls....no injury at all.  We are so happy about this especially since this surgery would have cost us $6,000 out of pocket.  Brad needs rehab to build strength.  He is working on pitching exercises provided by a sports trainer.  Currently, Brad is not playing baseball although he been asked to play with several travel ball teams.  We are looking at the possibility of hiring a pitching coach.  I know Brad is happy that he now has a good chance to get on the varsity baseball team next spring since he has no injury. I have been sick off and on for the last few weeks which is the reason for the lack of updates.  We have plenty of reasons to update.  Like, Ashley quit dance.  Not really. But kind of.  Ashley finished her last year competing in dance a couple Sunday's ago.  As stated before, this year in dance ha...
