On weekdays, nothing is more tempting than staying in bed a little longer.  It's still weekend, so I should be in bed late, but it's not happening.  I woke up before 6 and couldn't go back to sleep.  I finally got up an hour later and here I am.  I will sort some pictures, free some space on the memory card and maybe make a back up copy of the ones I saved in the computer.

Yesterday, we went boating with Patty and her family in Black Creek and St. Johns River.  We were in the river for about 4 hours.  I took pictures and posted them here-

We took a break from sun's heat and played in the water for a little while we consumed the fruits and snacks that Patty brought.  We watched boats passing by, occasionally, we saw some pulling skiers.  The weather was perfect, it was not a scorcher! 

We went to The Pig next with the boat still in tow and had a late lunch/early dinner. We did not have problem parking the vehicle and the boat as there are still no tenants on the building next to the Pig.  The building was built shortly after we moved to Middleburg, but the economy took a different turn that up to this time, they do not have takers yet.   We had barbecued ribs and chicken, Emily had a cheeseburger.  Side order included collard greens, corn, green beans, coleslaw and baked beans and I almost forgot, french fries!  After we ate. we headed home and Patty and them went home shortly after.

Today, is for doing the laundry.  We'll visit my mother later on.  Yesterday. my sister video taped my Mom singing a song in dialect-

"...ammok ti Dios iturong nak, idalan nak..." which means "I know God, He'll show and lead me the way..."  She was singing the song while she was in ICU.  Also, while she was in ICU, she told my brother and sister in-law that my brother Carl was there too.  She also said that she talked to my father.

I guess I don't really have time for sorting and saving the pictures now.  I am hungry- I will do scrambled egg with tomatoes, and onions, not quite an omellete.  We still have the blueberry muffins and banana bread that Patty brought over yesterday.  I should have taken my thyroid pill when I got up so I can have a coffee now.  I have to wait for 30 minutes before I can drink or eat anything after I take the pill- bummer!

Hope your weekend is going great!
