February is ending and this Leap Day creeped up on me far more quickly than I thought it would. I could have swore I had far more time to get this post and a few other things done. That is what happens when you are away from home for any length of time though.

I had a great time although there were a few hiccups along the way. I came back home ready to face a few things better. At least in a better frame of mind for them.  Which is important. While it was a full on vacation it was a nice couple of weeks away to break up the dreariness that is the winter. 

Although I must say I woke up this morning and discovered we had snow flurries earlier but by the time I woke they were gone. talk about being mad. We haven’t had any sort of snow in a couple of years and I miss snow. It was almost eighty degrees yesterday though so there is that. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain like it’s monsoon season.

Now to the pictures that I took over the course of the last month that are just sitting on my phone. As always they are random and I can’t always explain why I took the ones that I did.

Travel at Night

My brother came and got me this time around and it ended up being late on a Friday night that we were traveling through Atlanta. We made good time but at this point traffic was picking up and starting to stall out because of an accident further up the road.

Whataburger

I have never been to Whataburger! I live in Georgia and we just haven’t had the chance to go to one. This one was in Commerce, GA and I am so glad we ended up stopped here. My brother had wanted to go tot Krystal because he doesn’t get it that often. However, they were closed which seemed so weird to us. I didn’t think they closed until super late if at all.

It Was Good

I got this burger which was really good. It was almost too much with the fries and drink that I got as well. I wasn’t sure what to order. I told my brother to get me the same thing as him with a regular Coke. By this point I had to pee so bad and was so hungry I would have eaten a horse with a care.

Toy Truck

So, my sister in-law has a Honda Truck with a right hand drive. My brother drives it to work a lot but I have to tell you this thing was so much fun. You would not believe the looks we got anytime we were out and about in this thing.

Miles vs Kilometers

The only thing is her speedometer is in kilometers so she uses an app on her phone to do mph so she knows how fast she is going. I can not begin to tell you how hard I laughed at this.

What a Disappointment

This is the breakfast I get from a little place there in Anderson all the time. This was the first time that it was bad. I ordered a bowl of gravy but got grits. I dip the tater tots in the gravy. The grits didn’t work out as well. The country ham biscuit was so salty I couldn’t eat it. However, it was the Coke that upset me the most. They have the most perfect ice but the three times that I got a soda from them it was nothing but syrup. I mean I poured it out and it didn’t foam up at all.

No More T-shirts

Normally when my brother goes somewhere and I house sit he brings me back a t-shirt from wherever they went. The only thing is the t-shirts don’t always fit right. They noticed I was never wearing them so this trip they brought me back some magnets from Vegas. I like them much better.

Meet Harvey

Their dog had to be put down in September of last year. Turner was simply amazing and if you have been with me a while you know that I spent years house sitting because he had separation anxiety. He and I had a special bond.

He had gotten older and was having such a hard time just walking that the vet felt putting him down was the kindest thing they could do. He simply couldn’t move or function anymore. He wouldn’t eat or drink anything. It was bad! My brother FaceTimed me in tears so I could say goodbye.

Neither my brother or I were ready for a new puppy (and Turner wasn’t even mine) but my sister in-law brought Harvey home for Valentine’s Day. It took a few days but my brother has opened up to him more and more.

We Went to North Carolina

My brother and I took a trip to North Carolina one day. The drive was nice and we always enjoyed spending time together talking, laughing, and pretty whatever.

To Pickup the Jeep

Of course we went there to pick up his Jeep! He had some work done to it and it was time to pick it up. We got it loaded onto the trailer (that he bought just to haul his Jeep) and then had lunch before heading back to his house in South Carolina.

A Giant Peach

In Gaffney, South Carolina there is a giant peach. My brother said they are known for the peaches. This thing just amazed me for some reason so I had to snap a picture.

That was my month and as you can see it was a pretty good one. It was full and I enjoyed it as I said. Who knows what next month will bring but I will certainly enjoy every moment of it.

FYI

I just wanted to let y’all know that Friday Conversations will be back on March 8th.
