Sully Update

The Amazing Sully has moved to rehab! He has actually walked with some assistance. His sister spent the week with him . She flew up with Poppa to Baltimore from Atlanta to see her favorite brother. Her biggest worry was Sully's "bad" haircut. Keep the prayers flowing! .

Ready to say, "Whoa, Horsey!"

On Wednesday I went to Nashvegas to purchase a new to me car. You remember the September post where yours truly t-totaled the old Volvo wagon. Well, it is time for me to get out of the Mustang and give it back to CeCe. The Mustang is boss, but I was ready for a grown-up car. (Honestly, I grew quite tired of the deprecating looks from others indicating I must be going through a mid-life crisis.) Our new ride is a 2005 Volvo XC90. WooHoo!

One More Time Around the Loop

Today was another awesome day. The weather was, again, absolutely flawlessly beautiful. It was the perfect day to drive with the top down and the tunes up. After sleeping in to about 8:00 am, I decided to take a long hot shower and get ready for an event. The long anticipated arrival of this once in a lifetime event was just minutes away... and no one knew.

My daughter and I left the house and headed toward LBL. The art festival was still in full swing, but attending to this was more important. As I drove south toward LBL, I was smiling with delight. I turned right onto Kentucky Lake Scenic Drive and informed my daughter that she would be taking the wheel for her first hands-on driving lesson. She squealed in delight as I pulled over to relinquish to her the driver's seat. After adjusting the seat, mirrors, CD player, and her hair... in that order (she does have her priorities right). She asked me what to do next. I showed her how to use the blinker and shift into drive. We were rolling. She made it around the loop, twice, without incident. She informed me that this was the best day... EVER! She was even seen driving by a couple boys on her cross country team! Life is beautiful!
