Summer Camp for Carol and Patsy

Carol & Patsy flew up to Atlanta from Lakeland last Friday, July 1st. We went shopping in Lilburn and to the Goodwill that afternoon. Rested the rest of the day. That night, Patsy, Carol and I joined Mary Sydney and her mother, Sydney Lines, and Phyllis for “Menopause” at the 14th Street Theatre. It was hillarious! Left for Birmingham Saturday morning, had lunch with Tempie, Lillian, Taylor and his girlfriend at Tempie’s house. Tempie drove us all over Birmingham that afternoon and showed us all of the new and old. We had wine at Lillians late in the afternoon, then went to Brio’s for dinner. Stayed over night at Comfort Inn. Sunday, we had complimentary breakfast at motel, went to Mass at Our Lady of Assumption (where dad and I got married), then drove to Pell City to see Horace and Frances. We ate at a great barbque place (The Golden Rule)in Pell City then went to Horace’s and Frances’ house and visited for a couple of hours and had dessert. Drove back to Atlanta. Carol went over to Bridget’s with Nancy while Patsy, Dad and I just relaxed that evening. Monday is written about on Nicole’s blog. Tuesday, we joined Kathy, Kelly and Claire and went to Helen, GA for lunch and tubing. It was a perfect day for tubing. So much fun. The only bad part was Kelly hurting herself going down one of the rapids. Got home about 6 p.m. We watched a video of our Windjammer Cruise in 1995. Carol & Patsy left on Wednesday, the 7th. I took them to the airport in the morning. It was a fun summer camp.
