The week between Jeff having the stent put in his leg and his bypass surgery, Boo called & said he felt called to come for a visit. He drove the four hours from Murrells Inlet, stopped at Momma’s house to take a nap for a couple of hours, and then came over to eat leftovers for supper with us and visit for a few hours, & then drove all the way back home. It meant so much that he did that. I got this picture of him & Jeff before he hit the road for home.

A couple of weeks ago Adam had qualified for the Upper State tourney, and it happened to be held here in Clover. Jeff was still in a lot of pain so didn’t go, but since it was right down the road at the high school I headed over. Adam did a great job – won his first four matches, and came up just short of qualifying to advance to state. We were so proud! Here are a couple of action shots.

When I was driving to Gran’s house a few weeks ago to work with Sherri on pictures and letters I happened to see Charlie in action when I was at the red light beside the car wash where he works. I loved that.

Just getting home from the hospital wore him out, and he said that night he wondered if he should have stayed another day, but it sure was good to have him back at the house again.

I didn’t take many pictures while Jeff was at the hospital at all – a couple to send the kids and his siblings – but did get this one when Andy & Amy came to spend the afternoon. I only had my phone, so of course it’s not very good, but it was so good to see them.

Charlie and his friend Wesley have started up a car detailing business, and I hired them to come over one day last month to get my car all cleaned up. Believe me, they earned their money that day. My camera was dead, but I did get this one picture with my phone. They did a great job – it looked fantastic.

A few weeks back I traveled with Addie and June to Mt Airy for a baby shower for Olivia and Taylor, and Baby Calloway who is due now in just over a month. I didn’t get many pictures at all, but did get this cute one of Addie with Baby Calloway’s cousin Frankie. So cute.

I don’t like undecorating after Christmas at all, and in fact Jeff mostly does it at our house, but I did go over the evening that we were working on it at church. We had tons of help, so it was a pretty smooth process. That’s Clara on the ladder and Lindee keeping a close eye on her while she gets the high ornaments and topper off the big Christmon tree in the lobby.

With Jeff being laid up we’ve spent a good deal of time working on jigsaw puzzles recently. This one as a challenge. When we got the bottom part with the lighthouse done Jeff said we ought to just stop there & not finish the sky, which did turn out be be pretty challenging. We persevered, though, and got ithe whole thing done.
