We took my parents to the Nationals game Saturday night. We sprung for PNC Club tickets and premier parking to celebrate my dad's 80th. It was a fun night.
Weeded the north 40 over the weekend and the yard looks good again. With all the rain we got while we were on vacation, the weeds took over and were yuge!
This will be a busy week with back-to-school prep and annual doctor appts for the boys. Crazy schedules!
Went with mom to her diabetic nutritional training class.
She was jovial and pleasant the whole class, got in the car and promptly stated she didn't like anything on the list of acceptable foods, the recipes were going to taste bad, and the meal plans are too confusing.
Then we went to the grocery store. Don't even ask.
Anyway, I'm finally back home, groceries put up, and I need a nap!
37 days til I'm on a beach.

My mother used to "poo poo" my recommendations regarding diabetes and diet. Until the doctor told her she would need to start shooting insulin. Now she is real good about eating healthier and has been able to keep her blood sugar down and stabilized. It was a wake up call.
Ho hum day. A woman was killed by an alligator on Hilton Head this morning. This is the first time something like this has happened since I moved here 21 years ago. Apparently it went after her dog and she was protecting it.
A bird flew in our house last night. DH opened the front door to bring the flag in. Went straight upstairs and landed in boys' bathroom. DH got the butterfly net out of garage and went up and caught it. We all slept through the entire fiasco.

You'd think that my mom would have become more open minded about it when she had to go on daily doses of insulin, but, no.
I hate to say it, but between the diabetes and her heart, she won't make it to 90.

GG is diabetic. He takes insulin. He is careful but if he wants fish and chips on a Saturday I don't stop him. He knows his levels.
And this, I get.

That's sad, but I'd probably end up dead too if an aligator came after Monster.
The place we stay in Myrtle Beach has warnings to check under cars and other outside items for aligators before approaching them.
Last time we were there, we had a notice slid under our door that one had been spotted on site.

I read that story. Awful.
I swam out to the anchored raft in front of the beach. Haven't done that since I was a teenager. About .25 miles. Easy on the way out since the tide was starting to go out. Harder on the way back. My hips and legs are a bit sore in a good way.
