...

We had a decent day today... updates coming soon though!


 ... Team Edge, walking to the college, Ye-Ye's birthday, first time we saw Maddie's picture was eighteen years ago today, driving, groceries, free stuff from Kohl's, Boot Camp Set, Kentucky Derby (Mom = Commandment, Dad = Further Ado, Maddie = Incredibolt - Maddie wins today, although Golden Tempo was the actual winning horse), bison dogs, sushi, cool weather, prayer shawls for Mrs. Wheaton, still packing, BravesVision ... updates coming soon...




Making Adjustments


Off to the chiropractor late this morning, all three of us due for an adjustment here.  Maddie was ready for her back massage first, as always, and of course there was her visit with Doc Williams that always - always - gets her cracking up!



We had a rather routine sort of trip over to Cumming, all of it starting out with the adjustment of course, and then it was time to eat!  Mom had a gift card to Texas Roadhouse, so why not head over there?



Yeah, we were right there with the dancing this time around!  Anyway, Maddie was happy to order a steak, of course.  Mom and Maddie get the six ounce sirloin, while I had a great steak salad.  Maddie doesn't like the chicken here, but has started recently really liking a good piece of steak.


Okay, so after that we went over to Belk to do some shopping for the girls.  Maddie spotted this little combo here hanging up - apparently for a big "Minions" fan:



And one more stop right there:  we went to the Hallmark store there, and we just love that place for a few reasons.  One of them is chocolate!  We always go to the chocolates, these really rich and delicious candies behind the glass, just like in a chocolate shop.  Oh, look at this elaborate card we spotted:


Mom has written on the calendar "Batman Day!"  I had my Batman socks on today, but that was about it - other than the fact that tonight we were watching the baseball bats with the Braves.  But more on that later.  For now, let's talk Christmas ornaments:  yes, we got some.  Why wouldn't we?  They were $1.99 each!  We picked up a few that hadn't sold out yet, including a Sadness ornament from "Inside Out, and some Mandalorian ones too.  We got a few Haunted Mansion ornaments for October, and a funny one we'll use for a white elephant gift exchange.  It was a fun trip.

We got home, rested a bit, and pretty much got out the door for taekwondo after that. 



Maddie was doing well there and having fun - I was working on a Summer Xtreme booklet for later in July, and a few other things too.  I sit there at the desk, reading, updating, and all kinds of things.  There was Team Edge practice afterwards, so things were a little longer tonight.  


But look who's driving to and fro!  Maddie's been driving the car to taekwondo and getting better and better with her skills there.

We got home tonight in time to watch the latest Braves game on BravesVision, and what a game that was.  This was the one where the Rockies were up 6-0, and then 6-2.  And then late in the game, the comeback!  What a game - Dubon got a huge triple with three RBIs, and then Riley tied things up with a sacrifice fly.  Then Michael Harris III came up to bat again, and what a moment that was as he slammed a two-run homer.  Braves win 8-6 with the best comeback yet.

We read tonight, and after that it was time for prayers, and then time for some rest.
