Well this week is almost spent and gone, its been a pretty productive one on my end. I'm debating on whether I should take my last year of schooling now or wait just a bit longer. I vote wait.....
The ladies in the office are once more at odds, kid trouble I suspect. Diane has her way of raising kids and Cari hers. Its sort of comical they always rub each other wrong about 3 times a year and this time its coming a little early. I know its going on when I suggest one of them pair up with the other on a budget or project and they roll their eyes. Girls.........
Mom is doing well these days, I've been asked a few times how she is doing. She had a little problem with her blood pressure bouncing around there for a week or two but I suspect it was from all the tension with my G. Women........
Speaking of G she dropped in to see me after her antibiotics IV for the morning, yes, shes still having to go every morning for those treatments, so much for a few visits. She and PG has a little time to waste before she had her next heart doctors visit and instead of traveling home and back again she spent a little time with me, arranging my desk..... Women.......
Luke is still snowed in and in a grumpy mood from being in cased in his house all week long by the mini blizzard in Atalanta. He was complaining that the Weather Channel reporter standing on the streets of New York would be cleared in the Am for the kids to go to school. “What an idiot, Id like to kick him in jingly jewels right now” Atlanta's last snow of any real measurable about was back in the 70s. How would it benefit a city to invest in snow removal equipment and use it every ten years or so.
Lori is jealous and wants to trot up for a visit to play in it. Hopefully by the weekend I might start a slow melt. I told her to be happy its just rain here and a little cool. Shes planning on a spend the night party at the house, apparently there's a lot of new boys in her class so the girls need a gossip home base to talk to them and what not. Girls.......
Jacks is in the same predicament with the snow and ice and lack of snow equipment to remove it as well. He's had the good common sense to get out and enjoy it all week long. I guess they allow 4 wheelers on the streets when its bad there. I asked him how his better half is and he said “Who?” Apparently they haven't had time together since the holidays. Girls.......
PG and I are planning on trip up to Charleston either this weekend or the next to see some family. I don't want to make any plans on travel till the roads are semi clear. I really despise driving in ice or snow. I remember when we were all younger my mom was in Nashville driving home from a nail appointment or something of the sort. It was a light snow on the ground and we three sat in the back seat of the car play fighting with our G I Joe figures when the car started spinning around. I guess mom had to find a patch of ice and lost control. We of course were on one of the many hills in town and the car banged into the side of the mountain with the front two wheels hanging off into a ditch. We weren't going any where after that.

New Years and beyond.....
Well that first of last night of the year has come and gone. (According to “The prediction” just one more New Year to go.) I've been pretty busy these last few days working on budgets and plans for the coming season. The cafe needs upgrading with more tables and seating areas, also the green house requires new products to present.
Its funny how the market shifts, at first landscaping was the main part of our business but it appears that the do-it-yourself folks are out in masses and swarming the greenhouse. Luckily we still have our contract with the city to keep us busy on the landscaping end.
Our new year night was up to par, everyone drank in excess but chose to stay at the hotel. I like that hotels here have packages you can purchase for that holiday so you have your party, party items, liquor, entertainment and room right there in one building, so no driving. I missed having Trace and Michelle out with us this go round but since she is expecting they decided to stay home and bring in the year there.
Just like every year since I was eight or so my grandfather taught us to reflect on the past year and think the best way to improve the new one to come. My mission is to get along with my father, this will be a huge task.(I've tried this before) Jacks says I'm an idiot for even approaching the idea, he and good old dad are still at odds with each other. Partly because Jacks still refuses to go to work for him, at times I think its a good opportunity for Jacks. Since dad is moving along in his business and branching out not only in commercial development but residential. I have a feeling that keeping your sanity is higher on priority line to Jacks.
Luke called me the other day wanting to go on a bike ride this summer. He rarely has the time to do something on his own. This apparently was his Christmas gift from Julie, she received a 10 day cruise. I jumped on the chance, soon we will plot out our course, I've been wanting to go out west and so has he. Watch out Alamo!
His brood is growing and prowling around. Kyle has the motorcycle itch just like his dad. I guess they have something called Tot bikers or something like that, for the younger set -- 6 year old and older kids with their parents. Julie isn't a fan of the idea but of course Luke is excited as well as Kyle. I think its better plan than what we did as kids with hopping on a bike and just going. Sorry Tennessee for all the damaged trees, barns, fences and sides of houses we caused.
Mom is doing well, she plans on getting the shopping Mondays up and running again. This means my nice quiet first day of the week is about to go into full force of bag carrying and door opening once more (not that I'm complaining). G is still disgusted with the staph infection in the incision of her chest and slight case she had where they harvested the vein in her leg. She says its improving but the doctor popped her with a new antibiotic which is making her sick.
