Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Parental Unit Sighting

By Abby at 11:42 am on Monday, June 23, 2008

I’ve been blog-neglectful as of late. Starting a private practice is hard work! And lots of other things have been going on, too. Most notably, I’ve seen my parents three times in the last 10 days. They stopped in Raleigh for a few days on their way to vacation in the Outer Banks (Duck, NC), which was great. They got to see my photo at Rebus Works, meet some of my friends, and share a few meals with me. It was really nice after a fairly hellish food-poisoning trip home at Christmas.

Drew and My Parents at Katy's Flag Day Party

Mom and Rich

Mom’s recovering from double knee-replacement surgery and Dad is definitely down in the back, so they were both a bit hobbly, but hopefully that is a very temporary situation. Hot tubs at their hotel here and at the beach were certainly appreciated, although the long drive wasn’t exactly therapeutic.

On Friday, I went to the beach for a quick 24-hour visit and saw them along with their friends they’ve been traveling with for 30+ years. That was a nice break from Raleigh. I had some hot tub time, a nice walk on the beach, some group puzzle solving, a new location to photograph, and shared a wonderful meal with the group.

Dinner Almost Ready

Spotted on my beach walk. The creators were nowhere nearby, but I was still impressed!

Then on their drive back to North Georgia, they stopped for lunch as well. Hooray for great parental visits, and we spaced it out enough that noone drove anyone crazy. Double score!
