Happy Birthday to ME!

Well...as "strange" as the idea of turning 48 seemed to me...it was a great time. Life is moving at lightening speed...and my birthday weekend was no exception. After succumbing to pleas from my brother to meet him at his new (old) home to lend a hand with remoldeling..... I relunctantly canceled plans to spend two days as a recluse in an beautiful b&b in adams county with hubby...only one hour from Cincinnati. Instead...we left town at 3:00 after Wills lacrosse game...heading south to Vidalia Ga... Dalton GA was the scene for my birthday dinner ...waffle house was the place...we spent the night south of Atlanta and arrived in Vidalia early the next morning. After looking over the 4000 sq ft space...we finally found our focus and dug in...hoping to make a difference in our short time there. As night was falling i was anxious to move on to our next destination...Savannah...Eric and I love it there and had booked the Marshall House for the evening. Turns out we didn't realize how late it really was...arriving at our destination at 10:50 pm...we were determined to make the most of our precious time away...exhausted from all the driving was not going to deter us. "Our" restaurant across the street had closed...so we found a little market and made a few purchases. Marshall house supplied us with china and wine glasses...and we were all set to dine in our beautiful suite. We made it through dinner before crashing... and left out the next morning after breakfast on our private terrace....arriving back in Vidalia to spend the day painting and digging in the dirt...heading home late that night! Being there to support my brother as he embarks on this new stage in his life was totally worth it.
