trying to get back on track. It’s really funny how having so much weather has really knocked all energy out of me. I am just appalled at the pictures I am seeing from so many friends. I have no clue why I didn’t really think of getting out my own camera. We were cut off from so many people we know. I had to run to my doctor’s office the other day to get a prescription and had to drive through some pretty deep water, this is scary to me that the way to the hospital was difficult to get through. On my way there, I wasn’t really thinking about the flooding and turned the way I usually go only to find myself surrounded all over the place by deep, deep water. I finally found a way out of it but then to find it at the bottom of “hospital hill”. Not fun. People we knew got stranded in weird places. I was happy that I didn’t know Ben had gone to rescue Brittany and her friend until it was all over. They closed the roads right after that.

Anyway…yesterday was Ben’s birthday and look what he got!

Bad picture, I took it with my phone…but beautiful bass!

Rhianna and Kyle missed their flight in Atlanta yesterday due to air traffic. Because it wasn’t the airlines’ fault, they didn’t get much help and had to get a room. There is only one flight a day to Lynchburg but they recommended the kids get a flight to Roanoke and drive to Lynchburg. They did this this morning at 3 a.m. our time (6 east coast time) and got their rental. When they arrived in Lynchburg, they were not thrilled to find out that their luggage was still in Atlanta! They spent the day with next to nothing in their possession. They had a little bit of extra stuff for Mayah and nothing for themselves. Packing for a baby takes up all the space you’d use for essentials. They managed, though.

Little missy needed some new hats because she is growing so fast.. I didn’t ever get good pictures of the first one I made because I just needed to get it to them and forgot. Rhianna sent me a picture today by text message, though.

It’s the same as the pink/brown one.

I am working on an earflap hat, too, and will mail it to them.

It will have pom poms on the ear flaps. The color is way off, it’s fuschia.

Today Ben was in a wedding. I am so happy the wedding even happened with all the flooding. The poor bride’s house was cut off from everything this week! I can’t even imagine. Here are some bad quality phone pics….

We sat upstairs. Kenny was running sound right next to us.

Yes, he’s way out there! He’s 3rd from the right.

And this was what I saw next to me….

I have to tell on Becca. I wanted to get a picture but didn’t get a chance. She couldn’t decide what dress to wear so she put on one, then put on another over the first one. When she came, I thought she looked just adorable with boots and a cute dress and sweater. On the way to the wedding, she was in the back finishing getting ready. (nightmare phone call…..I was at the shop and had a customer. I was teaching a fellow to purl and had another customer and 2 friends hanging out. Kenny calls to say that the wedding isn’t at 1:30 it’s at 1! This is at 12:15. I called Brittany who was getting dropped off for me to take her to the wedding and Rebecca who was meeting us there….neither were ready!) Anyway, as we drive, Rebecca asked if we thought she’d look better in the pink dress…because she could alter what she was wearing while riding in the car by pulling off the top dress! We laughed so hard. She is like that, always full of fun surprises. I said partway through the reception she should make a quick change. You would never guess by looking at her, by the way, that she had 2 dresses on!

I didn’t get to go to the reception and had a very busy afternoon. I am so excited….3 young girls have been hanging out with me in the afternoon knitting. Today 2 of them were there along with 2 other friends. We had a great time.

Busy, busy day tomorrow and Monday we begin therapy again. I’ll try to do better again. I won’t get to have any mac/blogging lessons, though, until Rhianna gets back. Either I will figure it out or just stumble along.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
