Ky & I went to the GCS to pick up a check for the Pork chops, then over to the venue for the event. Winston & Sue Carter have a nice building that they built & are very kind to share it with many people! Some of the class came over & helped set up tables & chairs for the event! Went by G-ma Bridges to feed Kylie a bite and headed home. Cooked our food for the dinner, looks like we have sold around 300 tickets! Also had to do payroll!

09/05/07

Kylie & I went to Doctor. They said the Dr. in Blakley gave her the wrong type of ear drops, he should have given the suspension not the alkaline type. This is burning because of the tubes in her ears, you would think he would have known this since his girls had tubes!!! We now have 3 RX for her!!! Aunt Ca Ca came to Dr. office & helped us. You were glad to see her. You would open & close the door. Ca found a squirrel out the window for you to see! We left, got to Sam's & I realized we had left Bun Bun at Dr. office. I stayed at Sam's & you, Ca went back & got it! Got RX & items to cook for the Pork chop dinner. Ky feels a little better since we got home. We took her outside & let her play a little. She was taking her sunglasses on & off & blowing us good-bye kisses!!!Too Funny!!

09/04/07

We are the coordinators for a Pork chop dinner for Cayla's senior class. (We have done this for basketball teams that we coached years ago.) It is a great fund raiser, lot's of work, but good proceeds! I organize the event & Winston grills the chops! They are really good! This event is Friday & I am working on notifying parents of how much food to bring. This will consume most of my week! Kylie is still extremely ill with her ear, if not feeling better tomorrow we will go to dr.

09/07/2007 Grandparents Day

Today at Georgia Christian School was grandparent's Day! It is a day to honor & recognize the student's grandparent's! They have a breakfast for them & even took pictures, for a fee, this year! Of course, being grandparents, they were in attendance and proud as peacocks!!! How wonderful to know your grandparents! We missed out on this great relationship during our childhood, as our grandparents were deceased! I am so glad our children have been blessed with local grandparents! They have been so blessed by very supportive & loving grandparents!!! Thank-you grands for choosing to spend time with your grand children. We know now, that it was not always an easy job!!!! Pay back!! But it is GRAND!! Love you all!!!

       

08/29/-09/05-Labor Day Trip

Pa Pa, Kylie & me left for Lake Eufaula today around 1:30. We stopped in Moultrie at Wendys. Pa Pa went in & got our food & we sat in the car. We ate on the way. We stopped on the other side of Moultrie gassed up the car, was going to gas the boat, but to many people. We got back on the road, headed toward Camilla ate our food & watched Madagascar, Ky. favorite movie! Stopped in Camilla, gas boat, change diaper! Back on road. Ky. would mock her Pa Pa every time he would sneeze or cough!!! We lost cell phone signal around Leary. We will call the kids & give directions from rental house, I am typing directions in computer as we go. We stop in Fort Gaines to buy groceries! Ky. still has not gone to sleep!!! Arrive at rental, check phone, we can not dial out! Get back in car, drive to Bakers Landing to use pay phone, Ky. falls asleep. Pay phone will not work!!! Pa Pa goes in & uses their phone to call Cole...no answer! Call Casey...no answer...Pa Pa panicking. Go & unload boat from trailer. Nannie Ma & Ky. sit in car while she takes a nap. Pa Pa is not happy about the phone, he keeps trying. We unload car, Ky. wakes up after nap! Pa Pa goes back to store, Cole & Casey have called the store. Pa Pa calls them back, gives directions!!! Pa Pa tries to call the rental owners, he thinks. We have rented another house previously on Eufaula & I brought those directions because they were better than the ones we had from this rental. Pa Pa takes a paper goes back to store, calls that # to the last house we rented!!!HeHe! I did not know this of course. He comes back to house, did someone call you? & you tell them we were not having any problems? I said, no. Then it hit me....wrong #!!! Found the right #. Back to store, call the correct owners. He said he did not think they had a block on the phone. He will check on it. Cole arrives safely, Ky is happy to see him & her Pa Pa. Winston grills steaks, Ky plays with Uncle Cole. She went to sleep around 12:00!! 09/01/2007 Boy's are golfing @ Bagby State Park! I awoke around 8:00, made coffee & waited for Ky to wake. She wakes around 10:00, ate breakfast. Telephone man calls, finds out there is a lock code on phone!!!! Winston & Cole get back, we decide to go & eat at Bagby by boat. We load up & head out our canal, the water is extremely low!!! When we get to the big water the wind is blowing, it is a little cloudy, we also see people standing up in the middle of lake! Ky. does not like to go fast in the boat, either. We go back & go by car!!! We ate & Kylie was shivering, I thought...somethings up!! Back to house. Guys-golf!!! Ky. & I play & watch toons. Then she feels a bit warm. I took her temp. It is 100.7. Not very high, but will probably get worse. I go to the car, remembered I have some On Star minutes...duh!!!! Called & found the nearest emergency room. Blakely Ga! Wait a while & decide I should go on & get meds. Met Pa Pa & Uncle Cole on the way, Dr. Bridges thinks I am over reacting, she acts fine he said! I said, "O:k , but we will end up there tomorrow and I do not want to spend all day tomorrow there!!! Back to the house! We wait on Casey to arrive! Ky is playing! She likes climbing the stairs! Casey arrives after getting lost, we were getting worried! Grill! Ky has not had a nap. Nannie Ma is exhausted!!! 09/02/2007 We wake up late, went to bed late, Ky not feeling well. We take her to Blakely ER. See nurse, tell her what is going on, in comes Dr. He immediately begins to us about a child with tubes in their ears & how they will run a load grade fever & have ear drainage. (My observation with Ky. earlier was she was looking very weak in her eyes & not acting herself!) He has not even looked at her! He tells us that a low grade temp will not merit us any antibiotic, like we were hooked on them or something. I ask what exactly he thought was causing the low grade temp? Prob. an upper resp. inf. of some kind. Casey then tells him that her temp went to 102 last night....I did not know this & Ky. would not let her touch that ear!!! He said, well that will merit some meds. She may have swimmers ear. Now he looks in her ear....backs up & says,"I am sorry little one, you do have swimmers ear & your ear does hurt! We go to CVS & fill RX. Back to rental, eat, clean get ready to go home tomorrow. Pa Pa gets up & needs to head back, has employees working, we go & load boat, pack car. He leaves, I wait to ride with Casey & Ky. They slept in because of a sleepless night. We leave around 11:00. Ky. was good on the way home. Nice trip home. The house we stayed in was very nice, but needs a phone for emergency use!

Monday 08/27/2007

Kylie is a little ill today, wants me to stay beside her all day. We watched Madagascar, it was funny. Ate lunch and she finally fell asleep late afternoon. After her nap we went for a ride in the Hawg. Stopped at the barn and played awhile. Then Ky wanted to play in the mud, with her hew dora shoes on! Finally Pa Pa showed her a mud puddle and that was it, we took off the shoes and let her go. She really enjoyed it. As well as her Pa Pa!! See pictures!

Mom's Party 08/26/07

Went to church today, then to Garners and had a little surprise party for Mom. Her birthday is Tuesday 08/28. We had some ice cream cake and such. We all went in & gave her a digital picture frame, now all we need are the pictures to put on it!!! The Garner girls really enjoyed the party, especially the trick candles!!!

08/24/2007- The Farm

Want to know what is happening on the farm? Well, the fall crops are planted for the most part as you can tell from the pict. There are a lot of white flies so you see the sprayer going. You also see the workers putting sticks in. This is so we can tie the peppers & eggplants to the stake when they get larger. One picture is of the tractor hooked to a big trailer of stick....the little tractor kept rearing up from all the weight. It was funny, but scary. I called WB and told him, he sent Booda up to handle the task!!! They were all hooping & hollering in the field when it was popping up!!! They don't see the danger!!

08/22/07/Cayla 17th

Today Kylie & I went to town to get a b-day gift for Cayla & get groceries. We also stopped by Macado's , the dry cleaners, and several other places. Kylie was very good! At Publix she road in the cart that looks like a car, has a steering wheel!! She enjoyed that. She also wanted to eat everything in the cart!!! She was so friendly to everyone she saw!!! Today is Cayla's 17th b-day. I just can't believe it!!! We bought her a couple of pair of earrings, and a scrapbook for her Sr. Year. She also got a new bed spread earlier. We all went out to eat at Austin's for her b-day. Winston, Cole, Casey, Kylie, Cayla, Austin, Earl and myself. It was a nice night. Thanks goodness for ON STAR!!
