Vacation-Day 3,4, and 5.

Monday, Day 3:

We deliberately made this a lazy day. We just hung out in the cabin and played games. I got the beating of my life in a game of Risk. I still think the game needs a nuclear option. We did go out for dinner at a place called Brothers Restaurant where I had one of the best prime rib cuts I've ever eaten!

Tuesday, Day 4:

We went to a flea market in the morning. There was one guy selling a bunch of old Beatles 45's. I so wanted to just buy them all up but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Getting around was a challenge, a couple of steep hills that I had to crutch my way down to get to the market. I gave in and let Jasmine go get the SUV to pick me up. I'm starting to understand why it's hard to let people do things for you all the time when you have an injury that limits your abilities. I don't like being a burden. I know it's my family, and they love me, and would do anything for me, but I still don't want them to change routines just because of me. After the flea market we went to a placed called Waffle King for breakfast. It was good, but nothing any better than you get at Waffle House which was just down the street. Something happened really nice while we were there. We got there and one table was available and a lady was getting ready to sit down in it and she saw me on my crutches. She insisted we take the table. That's one thing about the south I like, it tends to be more laid back, even in places like Texas, and you feel it. I get the feeling that wouldn't have happened in New York, or Chicago, but who knows, I'm sure there are nice people everywhere. We ended the day by going to this mountain are where there were alot of monuments dedicated to biblical themes; I looked, and was surprised that i found nobody from the ACLU protesting it's existence. I imagine they were too busy ensuring that a Mosque can be built near ground zero. Don't get me started.

Wednesday, Day 5:

Slept in late. Left for a large lake in nearby Georgia that we wanted to see. We spend some time there and let Hannah frolic in the water a bit. It was very pretty and i will try to post some photos later on. We had another nice down home cooked meal at a family style restaurant. Yummy! Well, except the fried pickles I tried, no so much. My leg, foot, and ankle, see to be doing better. I've been trying to go without my brace as much as I can when I'm in the cabin. My biggest worry is my knee, that's where some of the pain seems to be concentrated at even though they are telling me they don't think there is damage, time will tell. Ended the day with a game of clue which yours truly won. Mr Green, in the theater, with the pistol. I new it all along.

P.S. Over these three days, Brett Favre retired, then it was reported it wasn't a sure thing, then it was reported he will play if his doctor gives him the okay as it regards his ankle. Somethings never change. It really doesn't matter, my favorite quarterback Aaron Rodgers is going to lead the Packers to the Super Bowl anyway this year :).
