This morning was sunny and warm enough to do coffee on my little deck. A big white egret paid a visit during my second cup. Between the egrets, herons, turtles, Wally and his buddy, at times it's a bit like a nature park out there. As they putted on by...the golfers were in shirt sleeves.

I read my favorite book, Philipians, and got a healthy dose of Vitamin D.

The high points of my day were calls from each of the girls. Sis and Aaron are doing great and were headed to a Mardi Gras party tonight and a Super Bowl party tomorrow. DanaMarie had just finished a meeting at the hospital. She starts her month in the neuro ICU. It's 24 on and 48 off....don't know how she does it. Bruce will call tomorrow. That has become such an important part of my week. He's a rock.

Hugs to you from the couch...........
Love, Sue

It was a beautiful day...I watched the sunshine from my view from the couch. Still dealing with the bug.

Finished reading Carol Kent's book, "A New Kind of Normal." Definitely recommend it. In 1999, Carol and her husband received a call informing them that their son, a graduate of the Naval Academy, had shot and killed his wife's first husband. She discusses the many challenges they faced in the midst of tremendous loss and pain. It's open, honest and surprisingly very hopeful. She also does an excellant job applying her experience to people dealing with virtually any type of loss or suffering.

All for now...........have a great weekend.
Love, Sue

It would seem to me that people with the flu should know to stay home. Not so at the Fresh Market...got the bug again. However, this time, rather than John Wayne-ing it...I threw in the towel and headed to the doc. A Z-pac, allegra and the couch are my companions for the rest of the day. !@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*()_+_)(%$#@!!! Am sure you can translate

Most unpleasssssssssant, especially considering it's a beautiful day and I'd love to be walking the beach.

STOP! Enough... sorry.

Talked with Sis. Aaron is home and in the midst of returning to life in the real world. He has mandatory meetings and about two weeks off to do what he needs to do and get his "stuff" reorganized. Can't wait to talk with him and hear the stories first hand.

Not wanting to spread the "bug" with the folks at Single Moms...I'll be home tonight.

The rest and the quiet feels good.
Take care...and beware of people with red noses.
Love...Sue

Though I'm only an hour away, I was waiting to explore Savannah with someone who knew their way around. It turns out that Janney has been there many many times with her family and knows Savannah very well. The architecture and gardens are gorgeous. As she showed me around, I felt like I was walking thru a Southern novel. It was a good day.

To Savannah/Hilton Head Intn'l for her 5:40 flight and then back to HHI.

Hope all is well in Ohio.
Much love, Sue

Aaron's home ...told Sis to have a nice weekend and give me a call whenever. I think Nick and Linda were leaving Norfolk today and heading back to Salem, IN.

Janney and I had a lovely day. Church this morning...a little more shopping at Shelter Cove Mall...and a nice beach walk. It was 61 and sunny today. We watched the Red Carpet and the SAG Awards.

To Savannah tomorrow. Janney is very familiar with the city...so she's going to show me the ropes. Her plane departs from Sav. at 5:30 p.m. It's been a great time.

Have a great day tomorrow.
Love, Sue
