....And Then the Romance is Gone....

Morning!  It's December 1st and the real count down begins....24 more days till Christmas.  Now the twinkle lights can be turned on and the store decorations can go up.  Wait, What.....oooo yea all that started in October, and September in some places.  Anyway, as far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be until Thanksgiving weekend, specifically on Black Friday.

Speaking of Black Friday....for the first time in several years the women in our house stayed home.  However, some of our men went out on turkey day for the sales.  Yes, my friends it is 2014, the men stood in line for hours for the quest of gifts.  Now didn't that sound romantic....well maybe for a moment.  A moment that is, until you hear who they were buying gifts for, and then the romance is gone.....yet again.

Lil Ed, on a quest for an IPad.....yup you guessed it....for himself.  Nic and Robby stood in line for moral support, but some how both came home with an IPad too.  Then there was a phone call from Ed,  "mom, I can get a 50" TV for $200, should I get it?"   HAHAAHAHHAH

Yup, romance......up in smoke!  Let's face it, men would only stand in line for 4 hours, in the cold, on Thanksgiving.....for themselves!  And of course to buy electronics.  Now, I believe that to be true for the majority of men, however I have to give props to those FEW men out there that know how to make their ladies happy.  The ones that would stand in those lines with their lady or for their lady.  For they truly know the meaning of .....happy lady.....happy life!   LOL!

On Black Friday, I shopped for bout twenty minutes at Michaels.  Great coupons of course.  But then, Natalie, lil Ed and I headed to Columbia, South Carolina.  And no, we were not going to the doctor.  We were going to watch my "adopted" son Carson and his high school football team.  Carson is an assistant coach, and his team was playing for the SC AA State Title.  Yes, we froze....but it was well worth it for the Wolves were amazing and won the title.  Below is a picture of Carson, Natalie, Nic, Kendall (Carson's sister), dad Eric and mom Kim.



Natalie update....yea....I know....about time!  She and 6-8 of her new closest BFFs, continue to workout in the therapy pool at our YMCA.  Happy to say that her toe is moving, and she is walking pretty close to normal.  But she still has PT to go.  Her progress has been good, slow, but good.  She is looking forward to a day trip to New York next week....hint...hint.  More bout that in the near future!  Until then....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
