Anniversary Weekend on the Isle of Palms

Nora and I spent a wonderful weekend provided by the girls for our anniversary. We stayed in this beautiful house in Wild Dunes on the Isle of Palms, just north of Charleston this last weekend. Wonderful weather on a tremendous South Carolina beach was enjoyed, as well as the peace and tranquility.

We went on a short trip to Florida last week just in time for Alberto. We only got wet and it cleared up on the last 2 days. We dropped Tonia, Usher , and Journee in Tallahassee to vist the kid's aunt and grandmother. They had never seen Journie and hadn't seen Usher and Tonia in 7 years. They had a wonderful time while we went to Clearwater to see Nora's family. We stayed with my favorite Nun, Aunt Dolly, and spent time with Charlie, Janet, Uncle Joey, and Peggy. The picture of Nora and I is in Tarpon Springs while on a wonderful cruise out into the Gulf. Peggy gave us the grand tour with a great Greek lunch and a walk on Clearwater beach.

We Are Still Waiting !!!

Mary went into early labor last Saturday. The doctor was able to stop it and they have put her on bedrest. Her boss has been very kind and understanding, Mary is very bored but thankful for her companies insurance. The baby is about 2 pounds and we are not in that big of a rush. We will be spending the next weekend with her as Toby is out of town
Rachel is doing fine and she and Dave are working a Summer Beach Project at Myrtle Beach until early August. We will get to see her every two weeks because her doctor appointments are in Spartanburg.
