-12 i might..sleeping at night is kinda spotty...after a couple hours, I get sore, and really don’t like the buzz from the pain killers, so I try to skip them when I can...

-12 Thanks D coming out was ok....and so far, outside of being sore, everything’s is good... I haven’t found anything I can’t eat yet! And that’s a bonus!

-12 hey D!... popping in for a bit... Seems my gall bladder got a bit angry with me last week so , I had it out Friday... got to stay down for a bit, and I seem to remember teaching chicks how to count would pass time!

Hi!!! thats all.... seriously.. been extremely busy, both with work and play., and more importantly, still smoke free!! the work part sucks, but... it allows me to play! We were in Florida in March, the Outer Banks in May, and we are headed back to the OBX in 3 weeks. We stayed in Kitty Hawk in May, this time we have a house on Hatteras Island, in Rodanthe... we are just far enough North to be clear of all the flooding caused by Dorian. The farther South you go the more devastation there is. i see a lot of the old familiar faces, and quite a few new ones! i will need to check back in when I have a little more time and report on all the girls (and grandson!) i will also need to read up on how everyone here is doing.. i hope you are all ok and life is treating you good..

Have a great time, and don’t forget to relax!!

And we are here!! we arrived yesterday afternoon (Sat.)... unpacked, went to the local pub for some fresh seafood and cold drinks..came back and hung out on the deck with some cold local brews!... . The pic was taken when we first got there...we were a bit over dressed...lol....we left 50*and rainy Ohio, and arrived to sunny and 85*.... I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a good week!

We are good here. A week ago a tornado went through a little town just about an hour south of me ... Shelby Ohio ... as it turns out, when my GG grandfather got off the boat from England, that’s where he settled. (Kinda explains how I ended up in Ohio instead of along the beach somewhere.. lol) from what I understand, no deaths or major injuries, lots of destruction though... this time of year can turn ugly, real fast... pay attention and stay safe everyone!
