Babysitting hasn't changed, the germs just got stronger!

What a wonderful weekend Miles and I had. That is until Sunday when we came down with a case of upset stomach, fever, and diarhea. Unbelievable. Yellow, runny water. Yuck! I know that's TMI but that was the most pleasant way to express what happened to us.

We had a very pleasant Saturday just playing around the house. On Sunday morning we went to church. I wanted to stay for 11:00 morning service because we had the Rev. Jesse Jackson preaching, but during Sunday School I started feeling discomforted and nauseous. Miles was having a good time playing Connect Four and he was enjoying the attention from the girls in our class. Thank goodness I decided to go home. We made it just in time. Both ends exploded, for both of us. As our bodies started making peculiar sounds and foul smells, we succumbed to the hideous nature of a stomach virus!! Then it wasn't just us. We spread it to Ryan and Melanie.

That nice weekend ended with disease!!

New Post, Old Skills

I'm back to post again but I haven't learned yet to add pictures to the blog. My DIL (daughter-in-law) told me the process but I need to see the process. I'm more of a tactile learner. I have a picture with Chef Irvine and I want it seen.

I'm preparing myself for a wonderful weekend with Miles. His Momma and Daddy are off for a romantic weekend and Miles and I will be enjoying a little time to ourselves. I'll have to stay at Miles' home because he can not come to mine. There's carpeting everywhere at my house and Miles and carpet fibers don't mix. I truly don't want him to have a reaction to my carpet fibers (aka dust mites) and spoil a weekend away for Ry and Mel. These parents need a little time together as man and wife, not just Dad and Mom.

Well I've been interrupted so I must stop. I'll be back.

Dinner Impossible, Dinner Delicious

Hello everyone, I'm back. It's been more than a year since I put the first message on this blog promising to add more words and pictures when I found the USB cord. Many things have happened since then. I located the cord, and loaned it to a friend, who promptly lost it. I ordered another and then misplaced the camera. Found the camera and got too busy to blog. Next I forgot how to use this blog. It took me several minutes to figure out how to post. I want to add a picture to this and I hope when I get to that point I'll have the skill. Here's my story.
Last night I had dinner with Robert Irvine, the chef from Dinner Impossible on the Food Network. Robert's staff prepared a meal for 75 Firefighters and he invited me to the dinner. I'm not kidding. He invited me. As the show was filming, Robert passed Ryan who was talking to me on the telephone. I was begging to come to the fire house and wait outside to see the chef. Ryan asked Robert to say hello to me which he did. He asked me what I was doing and said come on down for dinner. What a gentleman and what a chef! Robert made salmon and grits and a struedal with caramel sauce that was plate-lickin' good. Here are the pictures, I hope!!
