Whew, what a whirlwind couple of days we had last weekend. Our weekend started Saturday morning as we drove to Knoxville to celebrate alongside Helen and Mike as they got married. Helen and I worked together at LRK and she is such a sweet friend. We were supposed to meet Sally & Clarence to go camping/hiking in the Smokies after the wedding but we got a call before the wedding saying they wouldn't be able to make it because Clarence had fallen off his bike while riding 63(!) miles. By the time we were heading to the reception we found out that Clarence had broken his clavicle, broken a few ribs and injured a lung...much more serious than we originally thought. Jacob and I decided it would be best to go to Greenville and see him so we headed there after the wedding, arriving at the hospital around 12:30a.m. The next few days the cousins played while we made trips to the hospital to check on Papa. He was in great spirits despite his condition. Jacob was already scheduled to fly out of Greenville for a conference in Baltimore so I had planned on visiting my friends Joe & Meredith in Nashville on the way home. Their little girl Anna Beth was one of Dakota's good buddies when they lived in Memphis. Dakota was ecstatic to see her friend and I really enjoyed having some girl time with Mere. We stayed for 2 nights and then made it back to Memphis in time for me to finish up a sewing order that had to be delivered Wednesday evening. Whew. Yes it was a lot for one little weekend. Papa ended up spending almost a week in the hospital as they waited for the lung to recover and he is now facing a surgery tomorrow morning (10/19) to repair his broken clavicle. Please say a prayer for him as he still has quite a recovery period to undergo.
Things aren't going to slow down just yet...we've got a birthday to celebrate, Halloween, a craft show and then it seems like Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we can blink. I love a busy life though. Keeps me on my toes!
I was born in Knoxville just a few months prior to the World's Fair in 1982.
Helen & Mike asked me to make a monogrammed table runner for their cake to sit on.
Dakota was pretty stoked about her loot!
Chick-Fil-A is a good way to entertain little ones in a hospital waiting room!

We really enjoyed frozen yogurt at Sweet CeCe's in downtown Franklin. You get the yogurt and toppings by yourself and then pay by the ounce. Dakota was DONE taking pictures. Ha.
