CLOSE-Ups .....

Today, Lamar was working outside (3rd day!). He's trying to sort/organize his tool shed and storage bldg. While out there chattin him up ~~ spotted a Chippie! That lil buggar was only a few short feet from me. I  did have the camera..ha! They go under the front porch, then back out, to hit the food on the ground ~ in the "garden". Chippie was standing up, trying to "figure out" if there was danger, and where. He never spotted me....ha!  I'm soooo close!  Searching for "danger" ...  in "holding" pattern...  Oops! Scampered off, heard something... back toward the house. Then......it was all over. Chippie proceeded to the food. Such  dang  FUN ~~ loved being soooooo close!

...All good things must end, sometime!! Today, we just cruised on ``slow``!!  Maxine"slept in" this morning. She is tired, so let her rest and get up at her own pace. We've just hung around here today.....being laaaaazy! (Preparing for her trip back home Wed.) Our only agenda for today ~~ supper w/Miss VICKIE. Ofcourse.... We  all love this place.!! We had a great time together. Food is always good... Wednesday will be a bittersweet day ~~ Maxine returns to her sweet family.  She will be missed.  Thanking GOD  for such a wonderful, sweet Friend as Maxine has always been.

MAXINE's "Vaca" -- Day Four

"Blue" Monday turned out to be quite fantastic for us! After the disappointment of finding zilch, nadda, nothing @ the flea market, --we hit the big WOW w/shopping.!!  LOL Our trip was to Rome....Maxine wanted to wander in MICHAELS...looking for a "project" item. Well. No luck. However, she was able to grab a few, nice items on her Christmas list. She was tickled. (I found a couple of neat things, too.) Then -- off to check out KMart. Yep. There is one in Rome. Nice store. JACKPOT!! It's the small "stuff" that makes us happy! Maxine found a couple of items she had been "searching" for, and so did I.  So. Go stuff it WalMart!!!  LOL We ate a quick lunch @ Steak n Shake (2nd time, but she loves it!) Next destination ~~Cedartown. We visited her Sister, Mary. They are a hoot the two of them! It had been a few yrs. since they had "eyes" on each other. They had fun, and I enjoy being w/sweet, dear Mary. I think Mary said she is 83,

MAXINE's "Vaca" ~~ Day Three

It's Sunday....and has been another "day-on-the-go". The 3 of us drove to Big D Flea Market in Dalton. We stopped for a biscuit @ Hardee's this morning. Here's Maxine w/her Coffee, still sippin after the food.....!! Was a very disappointing trip! I think Maxine spent $1 and I totalled out w/$3. Ugh. Well...ya never know if you'll find a treasure...esp. if you don't go!! It was HOT, but a nice breeze was around to help. We all were happy to be back home. The "HIT" of this day...... haha....Maxine finally GOT her biscuits! She was one happy woman.....hehehe Dang, those biscuits throw me Off any kinda diet ideas.!! It has been a good day. Time with a very SPECIAL friend, is always time well spent.

Maxine went with me today to the Pool! She loved it! People ~~ let me tell ya ~~that woman Swam frm one end, to the opposite end of that pool!!! She was amazing, to me. Maxine said she really enjoyed being in the water. She said it had been yrs. since her last swim! Took her to Lunch.....She realllly  enjoyed that! Everything was really good~~and she loved their biscuit! We came back here, got our tennis shoes and .....went to the Mall y'all !! Drove up to Canton...the new, BIG one!! However, we only hit 3 stores....spent too much time @ each one. HaHa I finally got to Kirklands (they moved long ago frm Kennesaw). Took on the  5 and Below  store ~~which we both love. Then on to  TJ Maxx.  We were malling 'bout 3hrs!!, and both enjoyed that trip. It was a good day, but we both were a bit tired. The Pool time helped us "get thru" such a busy, walking-type day. (LUV   that water thang!  haha)

MAXINE's "Vaca" ~~ Day One

Image
HAPPY time...picked up sweet Maxine yesterday. This was our "birthday" trip ~~which I'd been unable to pull off! (her b'day was July 27th, we just a bit late!!) Began trippin @ Barnsley Gardens. She had not been since it was "updated" to a resort. Was a loooong  walk, but, Maxine enjoyed sitting at the lake/pond, and just "being". It's a very serene, calming place to be. ...just contemplating space!! Then we got a bit "lost" ~~ a very sweet young man, Colin (sp?), stopped, & drove us back to the parking area in the golf cart. !! It was HOT, people, and we were both 'bout down to a frazzle when he rescued us 2 ol' women.! He even got 2 cups of ice & a bottled water for us. It was about 2:30pm when we left Barnsley. Maxine doesn't eat b'fast, so I took her to Stk n Shake for food! She said she's nevah eaten @ one before ~~she enjoyed the Garlic Dbl burger  + I told her about the great milkshak
