.........goes to my sweet honeybunch! I got an early birthday present yesterday. I knew we were going out,but to where??? We got in the car around 4:30 and he told me we were going to dinner and a concert...my most favorite artist of all time. Neil Diamond!! Much to his dismay, I wasn't too excited. Good grief, Neil Diamond must be 70 something by now so I really wondered what kind of concert it would be. Well, first came dinner. For those of you that know Atlanta, we drove through our wonderful traffic to Norcross to eat at Pappadeux's. New Orleans style food. Rodg had to have his dozen raw oysters, of course, me...a dinner salad. We both had the same entree: Blackened Mahi Mahi smothered in monterey jack sherry sauce with mushrooms, crawfish, shrimp and spinach. (That was for you Nate!) Accompanied by dirty rice. OH MY GOODNESS! It was a plate of heaven! Wish I'd taken a picture of it........(for you Jess) on to the concert.......
We arrived a bit early, rushed through the parking lot in the rain. Rodg practically dragged me which is saying something with recent events! Found our seats and spent the next 45 minutes people watching. What an interesting crowd. I was beginning to think we were the youngest ones there. A few younger sat around us, which I was grateful for, but honestly this crowd was the geriatric one!! Right down to the walkers! And we didn't think it was going to be sold out with all the empty seats. With the late start, we decided it was to allow all those slow moving people time to get in their seats...and surprisingly, it was packed! Well, I've never seen Neil in concert after all these years and I've got to say once again...OH MY GOODNESS!! It was all I had ever hoped for and more. He sang all those oldies to ME and I LOVED it! Swaying in my seat for the longest time and finally couldn't stand it anymore with "Sweet Caroline", I was on my feet. Along with all those thousands of other retirees! I had to laugh out loud to see those oldsters dancing around their seats! And I was one of them!!! My favorite was "I Am, I Said" along with his encore of "They're Comin' to America". We really had a great time and all I can say is....Thank you dear, you're the BEST!

I LOVE my life
Kenda is helping me keep up with my blog so I'm going to try to get educated with this blogging world. I love reading everyone else's and especially appreciate my children posting their cute pictures...especially since we can't be there for all the fun events. Rodg and I are keeping busy with life. It's all good. Rodg feels good, better every day. I'm loving being a "Grammy"...Dade is SO dang CUTE! How I wish the others were nearby! But life is GOOD, the crisp fall days and beautiful state we live in reminds us each day how BLESSED we are. Now if we could only sell this house.............................HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!

Washington DC
Charlottesville, Virginia
We went to the town square not knowing it was UVA day.....all the students were coming back. It was CRAZY! People everywhere, funky smells, cool entertainment and a LOVELY evening. Only a LITTLE stressful for Rodg!
Monticello and Michie's Tavern
A Weary Traveler, our servers and Thomas Jefferson's amazing home. A true American!
Michie's Tavern was by far our favorite food stop!
Our Trip Continues.........
Finding our kids in Virginia and eating out...what more could we ask for!
Proving that fast food isn't necessry!
Rodg and I went to Virginia on a business trip determined to avoid fast food for the 10 days we were gone. We almost made it...only 3 times in 10 days....not bad! Besides, homemade chicken salad is WAY better at a nice rest stop!
The FAB Four!
Friends forever joined together for the last of the girls' wedding shower. Heather Wilcox tied the knot and we're all still the best of friends! I LOVE you guys!
