Wow! I can post again....

I don't know why I haven't been able to get my posts to post for most of the summer, but things seem okay for now.

Still on Dauphin Island. The weather's a bit cooler and I'm loving it! October is my favorite beach month - November is close behind. Surfers have started appearing and it's fun to watch them. The Island's laid back so my life's quite laid back at the moment - until we go home on the weekends. Then it's catch-up time. We stayed here last weekend and rode the ferry to Orange Beach to see J's uncle. It was an eventful day - J's aunt's mom went into cardiac arrest (she's fine for now), and J dropped his cell phone in the bay while helping get the boat out. So....off we went to Pensacola for a new phone. ....Don't ask me why we headed the opposite way (east) instead of backtracking to an AT&T store nearer our rental. We like to do things the hard way I guess - and paid for it because we didn't make the return ferry. Lost a few bucks on that. At least we got a good meal at the Fish House.

So we have now both joined the times with our smart phones - Android for me, iPhone for J. J is not a patient person and it's funny watching as his phone continues to outsmart him. Gotta take your pleasure where you can. I admit my Droid was/is plenty smarter than me.

Son #3 had to make an emergency trip to the dentist today. He's blessed with bad English teeth like his mom. He's been having trouble for a while and I've been telling him and telling him to go the dentist, but..he didn't. Now he has to have one tooth removed and a root canal on another one - after the antibiodics do their job. I find myself asking myself :/ why I continue trying to cut back on things here and there. It's like one step forward - two steps backward. Maybe it evens out.

Well, I'm off. Woot is having a woot-off today and I've got to check on what's on offer. So much for that cutting back....
