What I Did After My Late Summer Vacation:
I drove my husband to the ER on Sunday night after he crawled to the car, unable to stand or walk. Yeah, he threw his back out while doing some yard work. There was talk of doing an MRI today, but his doctor settled for an x-ray. It showed no damage to the disks or vertebrae, so we're calling it muscle strain for now. He's all dopey on Vicodin and Flexeril, the lucky dawg.

We did have a marvelous time with The Gang at the beach. My sister Kay and her kiddos Josh and Beth were there, along with my Mom ... Adam & Brandy, Emilie & Jud, and me & Jimmy made up the rest of the crowd. We all took turns cooking and cleaning the kitchen, which made for a really nice vacation. The weather was perfect, cool and comfortable humidity ... except for the day of rain on Thursday. And some of us even claimed to enjoy the forced "stay inside and do nothing" of that whole business, although I was not one of them. I totally enjoyed the sunshine! The beach was uncrowded, the house was huge, and the company made me smile all week long.
Oh here, let me let the pictures do the talking ...
First evening ... everybody (except the photographer and Beth (who was probably off sending a vital text message) outside on the main level porch/deck: 
On the first evening, the house next door was the site of a beach wedding. My goofball husband pretended he was the Secret Wedding Photographer and hid in the sea oats for a few snapshots of strangers:

Thanks for the memories, y'all.

Thanks for calling and letting somebody know Dad went to the ER. Just for that, we're not gonna call when we go into labor.
It looks like you guys had a very nice time at the beach. I am jealous. I love all the great pictures. Can't wait to see you this Sunday, have a safe trip up.
I'm so jealous Dawn. Your pictures are gorgeous. Sorry you had to come home to reality.

Thanks for sharing the pics Dawn! How did you get them all throughout your blog? I tried to add some from my cruise to mine, but it wants to put them all at the beginning....LOL!
Rebecca, I imagine there might be an easier way ... and every time I add pictures, I end up grumbling about what a pain it is ... but the only way I know is to "drag" them to where you want them to be placed in the body of your post. When you upload them, they'll start out at the top. Then you have to click on the picture, hold it, and drag it to where you want it. Hope that helps!
