THE MICROWAVE SAGA, THE POST REVIEW AND HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

Sign.....the kitchen remodel is on hold for a few more weeks.

We all discovered the new microwave we had selected was going

to require new electrical wiring as it ran on a higher current than

the existing ones.

This was proven to be a whole new ballgame when it came to

rewiring and dry wall damage and repair.....so......back went

this microwave and a trip to Lowe's to pick out a new one.

I will say, Lowe's was efficient and very helpful in solving the problem.

It was just fortunate for us that Kitchen Aid just recently came out

with a Black Stainless that is going to work beautifully!

Jenn and I made a quick dash through Target and would you believe

I only purchased one item...this adorable 

shadow box calender!

One item that was fun I should say.....

We enjoyed another very good movie this weekend....

THE POST 

The Post  tells the true story of publishing documents ,

known as the  infamous Pentagon Papers,

 during the 1971 Nixon Administration,  

which chronicled the government's study about the Vietnam War. 

Tom Hanks plays Ben Bradlee, Meryl Streep plays

Katherine Graham and Bruce Greenwood plays Robert McNamara.

I will say this was riveting and brought back well known

names and happenings to the darling and me.

Our son and daughter-in-law probably did not enjoy

this as much as we did, since the figures of the early 70's

were not familiar to them.

I would guess people in our age bracket are going

to find this a very thought-provoking movie!

Mae Mobley spent the weekend keeping a low profile

and watching Bo from a distance......

After the movie, we went to our favorite new area..

The Boardwalk over in The Colony!

It was a gorgeous evening, yet rather cold and brisk!

They are really creating a beautiful area to dine and relax!

I think as this area continues to grow.....

it's going to be super popular!

I was very glad to see the restaurants busy and people

visiting new businesses!

Hook, Line and Sinker was our chosen dinner destination...

the darling's favorite of fresh gulf seafood was going to make

him a happy camper!

My suggestion is that they improve their wine list.....

other than that....it was a good experience!

Oh Honey....now THAT'S a seafood boil!

Over in Atlanta......

The Divine Miss M and family met up 

with friends and it appeared that Luke the Duke, Izzy and Felicity

were quite entertaining while enjoying Pizza!

Gotta love it!!!!

IN MEMORIAM

Lastly, we remember Catherine's grandfather

who passed away on Thursday.

I took this photo of Bob out on Elizabeth's ranch

when we were visiting from Maine.

I love this photo...you can tell how much

he was enjoying the afternoon and this is how 

I choose to remember him......

How blessed he was.....always smiling and happy!

Bob was 92 years young and devoted to his wife Ann,

I would say that it was a life well lived.

They both managed to stay in their lovely home up until

late last year, when they moved to a beautiful

assisted living facility
Peace be with you Bob.......
