A Brief Edisto Visit

Back in September, Big Mama rented a little beach on Edisto for a week. It's a special place for her, you know. She was all whipped up and excited about her beach vacation but as real life so often does you, most of us couldn't join her. She went down there and sat by herself anyway. (That's not true really. She had a sitcom cast of characters come in and out throughout the week.) I went for one day before I had to get back to wedding business but Ellen and Livy came through and we all had a beach day as a family. 

Chris and Nancy enjoy the beach. Don't they look like they're having fun?

In home news, Brett has had to go back to the office Monday through Wednesdays. The office has asked folks to work a majority of the week from the office, and lots of people just aren't doing it. Brett doesn't complain about much so I don't know how he really feels about it, but neither of us can imagine ignoring our bosses and staying home. It's made for interesting, dramatic times over at the engineering firm. 

As months of experimenting have passed, we've gotten Pips down to a low dose of medication that holds her platelets at a healthy level while still allowing her to enjoy her natural high. Though she can be a little standoffish at times, she's mostly back to blasting through her day and crapping out by bedtime. Here she is dozing off during the party. 

I've been hustling through the wedding season and can see the light at the end. After this month, I've just got three left for the year and it's perfect timing. I've got so many other things to do - I just don't have time for my job. More on that later. 

Here's Grace; just waiting for sweet release.
