Busy week with cleaning and repairs to the house.

The K family went home EARLY Sunday morning. It was so strange having the house empty after 16 days. We were invited to go on someone's boat to the eighteenth hole at the heritage golf tournament. Interesting, you are right there at the tournament but you can not see anything. View from the boat.
















We held off any cleaning to the house until all the kids visited. Monday we power washed the house. Tuesday we had the inside of the house painted. Thursday we had the windows, blinds and baseboards cleaned. Meanwhile the dishwasher broke. So we have a new one. We had the gas grill fixed. Friday was the carpets cleaned and an electrician to fix little things. Meanwhile the cable box on the HDTV broke and we had a repairman for that. Next week we are having the dock, deck etc stained.
I had a special tour of the SCAD college with Hadasah group. Very interesting to see all the old buildings that have been converted to classrooms. The first building we toured is a 1800 Bnai Brith building. The worship room is still there. They keep as much old as possible. We saw the new museum for black artists. It was fair. We ate lunch at a restaurant owned by SCAD. It was an old pharmacy with Tiffany glass.
Tuesday it took Kathy P to the airport where Bernie was life flighted to Pittsburgh. I hope he gets better soon.
Here is Ad looking like a model. She learned to say car and her name this week.

Laura,s visit, and Seder

We had the Passover Seder at our house with the David Pennock family, Eve and Laura's family. Kathy P came but Bernie was in the hospital with a gall bladder problem. Five pounds of matzoh was eaten with butter, jelly and salt. The house has crumbs all around. There were seven kids looking for the hidden matzoh. So we hid it seven times and gave out money seven times.








I thought jelly beans would be fun to eat. Here is everyone snacking on them. They had to eat one at a time and tell the flavor.




There were long bike rides, swims in heated pools. Thanks to the Pennocks for heating their pool. Fishing. Sand castles on the beach. Shrimp, steak, and lamb chop dinners. A birthday cake for Nathan 's upcoming seventh birthday.




















Super man ice cream.
























It is the heritage golf tournament this week. So Sea Pines is very crowded. We stayed close to home and all was well. There was the concert with Greg Russell. Mollie was so disappointed that she was not picked , she cried. We decided not to take her a second time. Could not stand to see the heart broken again. Even thought she loved the concert. Abe, Laura and Jack saw the Hunger games. We went to see the headliners concert at Sea Pines Center. No rain the entire visit. Laura and I had a quick run to Tanger Outlets for a little shopping.

All the kids visit over a two week period! Week one Eve and Ellen March 30

Ellen arrived on March 30 to celebrate my birthday. She brought a cake and I had made one for myself. On Saturday eve and family arrived. Sunday Ellen and family left for Disney, to return on Thursday.
It was a fabulous week. Maya is the junior MOM. Holden is in love with Adley and also helpful. Adley wants to be held, by Dave whenever he is in seeing distance. She will eat anything except cauliflower. The only issue with Adley is the sleeping. She still does not sleep all night. Many nights she ends up sleeping on her parents heads.
We had an open house for about forty people so everyone could meet Adley.
She was great with all the guests and it was a successful party.
We went to see Greg Russel and ate in Harbour town.


















































Emma got sick while in Disney. She did not seem to enjoy it. But she was not herself. The VH cames back to HHI on Thursday and stayed until Saturday. So with overlapped with Eve. Sadie is interested in art projects. Now she is crocheting. I took her to a store to buy more yarn and a nice women taught her a new stitch.






Emma has some funny ideas about sleeping attire. She sleeps in her winter boots and her Halloween costume. I remember when Sadie insisted on sleeping in a bathing suit under her PJs.

Home alone. March 25- 30

The company is gone and it is Sunday morning. The next group arrive in five days.
Soft shell crabs are in season. Sunday and Wednesday night I made them for dinner. They have a season of about one month to eat. So we are going to have them every night possible.
This is my birthday week. Tuesday night we went out to dinner with friends and we had a brownie ice cream dessert to celebrate.
The soft shell season lasted for a very short period.
