An Unwanted Birthday Surprise

On Wednesday, Colt's actual birthday, he wasn't feeling very well. I took him in to the Dr. and she said he had a bit of a throat infection and some sinus problems going on. She went ahead and gave him a couple of shots, just because usually if they don't, he's back in within a week even sicker. She also called him in some meds too. Well he was better until last night. He's a manager at a steakhouse in town. He called us and asked if we could come drive him home because he was so sick. We're pretty sure it's the flu....he's aching all over, with a bad headache, a fever of 101, head spinning, and even more cold-like symptoms. And he's one to never stop unless he's really sick. He just keeps on going...kind of like the energizer bunny! Since we were just in, I called his Dr. and from what I described, she was sure that was what he had and called him in Tamiflu.



Unfortunately, we are going to miss my Grandma's 91st birthday celebration today in Alabama. We had planned to get up really early this morning and be there for her party, then drive back home all in the same day so Colt could be back at work tonight to close. This changed those plans. Obviously, he can't go and we wouldn't want to pass this along to anyone else, especially my Grandma! We definitely didn't want to leave him home all alone and sick either! So we'll be staying home making sure he stays in bed resting so he can get over this nasty flu! Now hopefully, the rest of us won't get it!

And look what came in today's mail for me! I'm looking forward to sitting down and savoring every bit of it over the weekend!



And on top of that...you all know that Linda's home is featured and I can never get enough of looking at pictures of her home! I love all of these photos! I love they way they are presented in here and I keep noticing the smallest details!
