Been awhile...I know! January has came & gone. Now February is here. A lot has gone on this past month.
   Robin celebrated her 50th birthday. She was not in a partying mood as she was to start her 2nd round of chemo a few days later. And this round was not as kind to her. She ended up being treated for the flu & just as she has just started to feel some what better, chemo starts again next week. #3. Half way done. Please continue to keep her your prayers, her liver enzymes have been elevated every time she's gone & if they have gone up again this time then treatment will have to stop. She been doing a lot of thing to flush & better the liver naturally so I'm hoping everything will check out good.

  Tyler's sister Ashley birthday is the day after Robins & the Poole siblings, Granny, kids & all headed to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. What a BEAUTIFUL weekend it was too. We swam & sat on the beach, ATE .... 70+ degrees, it was so nice, oh except for the fact that our room's AC didn't work for a whole day! We asked for a late check out & none of us wanted to leave! We had a good time!

  Next up lil Miss Sassy's 3rd birthday. 3 years has gone by fast. We didn't make it to her party, because too much was going on at home, but Ashley gave her a cute lil ART party & she had lots of lil friends there. All the friends were asked to bring some sort of Art supplies & the next day they sorted the donations & took them to some needy children. What a great idea! Can never start too early in teaching our children to give back. Good job Ashley!

      The 30th was Tyler's dad's birthday & Tyler was in Raleigh & went to dinner & spent time with him. Happy Birthday Dewey!

  A sad ending came to an end for the Poole family. The cottage in Oriental has been sold so we headed up on a Saturday to get some of our things. Didn't think we would get so emotional. Cameron & myself walked that beach for the last time & lots of memories flooded my mind. My babies ran that beach naked, watched them fish & lots of good times with friends. Cameron tuned up & said that was where he first learned to fish & if he ever made enough money, he would buy it back , LOL ! Ive walked that beach a many of hours looking for sea glass &  which now that I have in bowl as one of my treasures. It is for the best but the finality sure didn't make it easy. 

   The 31st we headed to Greensboro for dinner with a coworker of Tyler's & the headed to The Lupers mountain house in West Jefferson, NC. Anyone that knows me, knows I DO NOT like the mountains. EVERY TIME I've been I get sick & this time was no exception. I started with a headache but made it thru the first night but by the next morning well ... first I thought maybe I was just hungover but then it didn't get better & puking began & I was in the bed the whole day. Miserable. Doped my self up good for the ride home & by 6 Sunday was sick again & all day Monday. I don't know if I had a bug but after looking things up on the internet, there is such a thing called altitude sickness & can take 3 to 5 days to get over & I had all the symptoms. I talked with Tyler & there has never been a time I had not got sick , even when I was young going on ski trips, I got sick. So probably no mountains for me anymore. My lil Cameron has never been so, whoever would like to take him, please feel free. Beside from the puking, I  enjoyed my time & so blessed to have the friendships that we have. Thank you Allen & Jenny for the hospitality. Oh & it snowed & it was BEAUTIFUL! 

   So as you can see January has been busy. I subbed a lot that month & we are getting adjusted to Tyler's new traveling schedule, which has been a lot but that is how it is. Oh & Tyler's mom went to work for Baker Roofing as lead specialist & she is KILLING it ! Keep it it up Granny thats more trips for us to take ! Please continue to keep Robin in your prayers as well as Ty. Nothing serious with him, he just having some DRAMA & only he is gonna be able to figure it out . Makes this mommas heart hurt for him though! So until next time ....
