Busy as a Bee

It has been a few weeks since I have blogged. Sorry! It has been a crazy last couple of weeks. It all started at this beautiful plantation. I work for the local Historical Society and this is where they had their annual fundraising dinner. It was a true Southern Supper under the Oaks!

We had a fabulous time! Great dinner, wonderful bluegrass music, and a beautiful setting. The perfect Southern evening in Georgia!

Then this past weekend, Joseph and I ventured over to Jacksonville to stay with a friend of Joseph's from work. The company that Joseph works for has its main office in Jacksonville and when he has to go over there for business he always stays with Ken and his wife Terry. And they were so gracious to invite us over for a weekend of fun! They don't have children of their own, so I think that they have adopted Joseph as their surrogate child, which I think is so very sweet!

On Friday, we had tickets to the Jacksonville Pops Symphony. Let me just say how absolutely fabulous that was. They performed a great mixture of classical music and musical numbers, such as selections from Singing in the Rain and The King and I. To add to the performance, they had two very talented Broadway actors that danced and sang for us. Great! If you are in Jacksonville, go see them. Or if there is a Symphony in your area, please go support them. Its great entertainment and so very easy to appreciate the art of music.

Then on Saturday, we had a super busy day, starting with this:

Yep. A trip to the Zoo! I felt like a little kid again and I loved every minute of it. Speaking of being a kid, I even got a fabulous sno-cone and so did Joseph. Yum!

I took, what I know had to be 200 photos of all the animals. And seeing all the weird and fabulous creatures, you really get to see that God is so wondrous in his creations. Just look at these birds and their beauty.

And speaking of birds. They scare the begesus out of me. I hate a bird because they have these

And more importantly these

That's right folks, these little things just wait to peck your eyes out! I know I'm crazy, but I don't care!

Next up was an air show by the Blue Angels. Ken and Terry have a fabulous condo on the St. Johns River directly across from the Air Force base, so we got to relax and watch a great show.

 The glorious view of the river!

Finally, to round out the day was going to a dinner theater. We went to watch The King and I. Joseph had never watched the play before (or the movie for that matter!) but he absolutely loved it. We had dinner and enjoyed dessert while the play was going on. It was wonderful. It might have made a Musical lover out of Joseph after all!!

So this past weekend was really jam packed. It was good to get home and see my puppies. (and my Mimi as well!) My sweet, sweet, SWEET mother came and kept her grand-pups while we went to Jacksonville. The pups were greatly spoiled by their Mimi while we were away.

And on a different note: Hopefully I will have some exciting news, so stay tuned!!
