Just for kicks

I wish I had some deep, profound thoughts to share today but I don't. I'm distracted by all I have to do and all that I didn't do today. I guess it was a good day though. I began working on my tan. Sat in the sun and read for awhile. My arm and legs now a vibrant red color. It'll turn soon enough. I did wash the car and go to the office for a short while. So, I guess maybe it was more productive than I am giving myself credit for.

I thought I'd attach a few photos taken in recent months --just for kicks.

Georgia On My Mind....

Cute, huh?

What a great deck... where I spent most of my time.
Silly Faces- isn't she beautiful?
The "man" of the group - he turned four.

Do you know this song? I think Willie Nelson sang it. Anyway, it's always been very mellow, relaxing song and it's very fitting with the weekend I just had. I accompanied a friend to Atlanta for the weekend and had such a relaxing, restful time. I even read a book. I NEVER read a book; muchless a book in a weekend!

We went to my friend's parent's home and visited with her family. They have the most gorgeous backyard you've ever seen and it was the perfect spot for reading, napping, playing with the kids. We got there Friday afternoon and the three kids (my friend's nephew and two nieces) stayed with us Friday night. Despite a very restless night of sleep due to getting steam-rolled by a six year old little girl-she was all over the place. IT was a very relaxing evening. We ate delicious ribs, played hide-and-seek, and read. Saturday we went to a birthday party at this gymnastics place and ...well, let's just say they almost got charged for having three additional kids there because my friend, her sister and I were all over the trampoline. It was fun. Sunday was sleeping in, reading, and yet another cake and presents for the little guy that turned four. Big fun.

I returned to Nashville on Sunday and had the day off on Monday. Nice. Highly recommend sandwiching travel days with additional days off. And, today it was back to reality. Work. Busy day. The good news is that thought I dreaded the return this morning when I woke, by the time I got to the office, I was ready and happy to be back. It's good when you like your job.

So, below are a few pics of where I stayed. But prepare, it will make you want to vacation and do nothing at all.

Sunny Days

It was a gorgeous day here today... one of those 75 degree days, sunny, and slight breeze. You know the kind. Where whatever you do - you want to be outside. Sometimes I find myself looking for things to do outside just to enjoy the weather. Today I went and took some photos. I don't have a super snazy camera - just a simple digital camera, so don't be expecting some fantastic shots. But, I like them. It's a little reminder of why I like TN and what lured me here in the first place.
