Spelling Bee

December 4, 2023

Spencer made it to the school spelling bee and I am so proud of him! He was really nervous to stand up in front of all of the people. His face has a tendency to get red when he’s in front of a large crowd and he was not looking forward to the spelling bee. But, he got up there and spoke slowly and clearly for his practice word and his first round word and I was super impressed with his confidence up there!! Go Spencer Go!!

He got out on the word superior – I think nerves got him and he left out the “er” in the middle. No worries though, I still think he’s superior for getting up there at all!!

Friday in the mountains

November 30, 2023

Friday was a rough start for Maxwell. He had been fighting some fever and a nasty cough all week and he was not better Friday morning. I took him into town and we found some meds and just let him rest. Robert met up with Patrick while I just sat around with GJ and the others. Maxwell perked up a little after lunch and made it out to play some golf with the boys! Hooray!

GJ, Samantha, and I decided we couldn’t sit around anymore so we hiked up to Sunset Rock! Great views!

GJ wasn’t quite so sure of all those rocks with her knee so she took in the views from up there!

That night we had a drink at the club where we had some Shirley Temples…

and got lots of great pics in front of the tree.

After that we had a nice dinner at On the Verandah. Thanks Lulu and Granddaddy! Unfortunately, Maxwell kept not feeling well at all – and not sleeping – so we packed up and headed home Saturday morning. We made it home just in time for the Iron Bowl. What a game – 4th and 31!! Roll Tide! We also got Maxwell up to the doctor to get some antibiotics for an ear infection and doctor’s orders to rest for a respiratory virus. Poor guy.

Overall it was a great Thanksgiving in the mountains!

Thanksgiving

November 29, 2023

We headed up to the mountains last week and had a great Thanksgiving break in Highlands! We had an uneventful drive up Wednesday and were happy to meet not only Lulu and Grandaddy up there, but GJ as well! She came along this year to see what Highlands was all about! We did our traditional hike of Whiteside Mountain Thursday morning and the weather could not have been better!!

It was the perfect way to start Thanksgiving day….even if Samantha did put her hand in a booger on a rock! hahahaha! She was none too pleased…

We then got back to the house and whipped up a fantastic Thanksgiving feast that we all enjoyed! It was such a beautiful day we walked off our turkey on the golf course after…

After the walk it was time for pie…it was Thanksgiving after all! That night Robert and I drove over to Cashiers to see my high school friend, Frank, and his wife Anjuli at High Hampton. It was great to catch up on all things Little Rock!

A great day all around!
