Yesterday, Allen & I took the metal canoe out to Lake Issaqueena....Allen has been chomping at the bit to get the boat wet. Mainly to see if he will be able to handle the boat with his foot or not. I am proud to say to he did fine.
We had a great time...the weather was nice.
We paddled around for a little while and when I say "we" I really mean Allen. I don't do hardly any of the paddling. It's just not my thing, not to mention that I have no upper body strength...so Allen gets to have all the fun. (hehe)
We did have a little scare once, we hit a tree stump that was under water and it made the boat almost tip over...I was afraid that we were going to get really wet.
I asked Allen if he thought that he'd still be able to swim now with his foot injury and he said that he's sure that he'd be able to safe himself, if he had to. I'm thankful for that.
Scott (Allen's brother from another mother) came and I let him have my place in the boat for a while. They seemed to have a good time. Although Scott caught a fish and Allen didn't.
I sat on the dock and enjoyed the quiet time. It was so relaxing....I needed that so much.
Hopefully we will go again really soon.

Mother's Day 2011
I had one of the best Mother's Day today.....It started out quiet and nice....I got up before Allen or Brandy....enjoyed a cup of coffe on the front porch with my dog, Buster....enjoyed listening to the birds singing....we had many of them, since I filled the feeders up on Saturday.
Then I cooked a light breakfast for Allen and myself and we ate on the porch.
It was nice to relax the morning away.
Then I got all dressed up and fixed my new hairdo (I got a new cut and color on Friday--treated myself).....Had a nice photo shoot at the house......then we went to lunch at The Main Street Diner of Easley....Nana, Clyde, Deneen and Billy joined us.
After in the afternoon, Brandy's friend, Ethan came and picked up Brandy and me, he took us to The Icecream Station in Easley and treated us to icecream.....from there we went down to the new gazebo/water fountain and enjoyed a few minutes there.
After Allen and I, Brandy and Ethan went out to eat at Michael's Pizzaria and had supper.
My Day was wonderfully spent with my family.
I asked for 2 more Knockout rose bushes to finish my flower bed and I picked them up Saturday and worked in the yard most of the day and got all of that finished...my yard is looking better and better as the season goes along.

Allen
sorry I was thinking only of myself earlier....here's an update on Allen:
Yesterday we went to a new doctor in Greer...a prothesis doctor. Allen really liked him and thought that he would see great results from him.
The doctor took molds of both of Allen's feet, the good one and bad one. He is going to make him show inserts for his regular boots and the one for the bad foot will be built up on the outside ankle side so that it will help stablize it so that there willnot be so much pain.
The past two to three weeks have been especially hard on him, since it's the busy season at the store, he is up on his feet almost the entire day.
I am praying that the inserts will be a miraclous fit and a fast relief for him.

ME
Not really sure what's going on lately....just a little bit emotional, I guess. I feel sometimes that I am invisable to the entire world, or at least to my family.
I feel so underappreciated and unloved right now.....I keep praying that this feeling will go away but so far it hasn't.
Maybe if I will continue to write it down, maybe in time it will go away and stay away.
