have been AWOL...we were away..Aug 1-10..Outer Banks, NC....across the street from the beach...wonderful! beach,pool, kayak tour...didn't want to leave!


we got back Sun....then Mon-Tues we had the dgds...one, I needed to see them, I was having "dgd withdrawal" and,two, ds and dil were having carpet installed and needed to move furniture


Tues I took them to "Mommy and me"


while away I sent back photos each day for them with one of their favorite characters,Pablo, featured wherever we went. They loved it..especially Pablo in the pool and Pablo with the bowl of hushpuppies. (ds was afraid people would think his mom was nuts...so?...but everyone enjoyed it..even our companions got into it!)


seems this week was all washing, putting away,etc..also yard work..


dd is in CA...I was happy to hear from her! Sun and Thurs...having a great time..San Francisco, Yosemite, AND ..she brought a Pablo with her too!! just got the first pics today!!


today we are going for eye exams...


I find being back this week I feel "at loose ends"....not sure why


Sunday is dgs christening....


so far: no baby turtles


will try to catch up with you all


oh..BOb had knee surgery July 17, arthroscopic...was well enough to bike in NC!!

Oh man - I'm so jealous!!! :) We loved the time we got to spend in a beachhouse on Topsail Island on the outer banks of North Carolina several years ago now. We keep saying we'd like to go back, but just haven't done it yet...

I too am having a bit of G'baby withdrawal - this was supposed to be my weekend watching mine but w/the back spasms I'm still getting when I use my back muscles, the doc suggested I pass on this weekend until we can get things a little more under control or at least managed & figure out what I'm going to end up "just living with".

Have a good week, I'm sure the loose ends will tighten up fairly soon.

Glad to see Bobs surgery went well, sure dont want complications in that!


I know when I get home from being away, I feel a bit displaced... not sure what it is but
