EASTMAN, GEORGIA

We have now been in Eastman Georgia for 1 week doing the House Calls program.  We are staying at the Dodge Hill Inn, in one of their cottages called "Mary's Manor".  It is a cute little house and comfortable for us for the next couple of weeks.  See pictures below.

So far we've been to a state park nearby and rode our bikes and fished but didn't get anything!  We went to the town of Dublin, GA to look around.  We had an awesome lunch at a place called "Ole Time Country Cookin".  It was delicious!

Fruit cup for Breakfast!

Mary's Manor where we stayed

I'm "getting into" my job more and more.  I feel like these are "my" patients.  I do enjoy teaching one on one. I am scheduled for 8 patients daily but have had at least 1 or 2 "no shows" each day this week.  I was concerned that I would have all 8 patients and I would be out  driving around till 6pm especially when it gets dark early.  But if the future is like this past week, then maybe I won't have any difficulty with 6 or 7 members per day!

Rochelle, Abbeville, Pineview

These were the last 3 towns in Georgia that we just finished doing House Calls in.  Next week, we'll be on to Eastman, Ga for 2 weeks.  I've decided to go full time with benefits with Sunbelt Staffing/Care Improvement Plus.  Bob [and I] need health insurance coverage and they have a really good plan, plus the salary is pretty good. 
We'll be in Gainesville/Archer, FL till Sunday, August 22nd.  We may not be back to Florida till Thanksgiving but we'll see  how things go. 

Back in Gainesville

Back "home" for a few days.  Took Jazmin to Cedar Key yesterday.  They have a great playground next to the water.  But it sure was hot outside.  We ate some hot dogs for lunch and got wet in the outside shower and sat in as much shade as we could.  We did walk the beach trying to find shells for her mama.  There's not much of a beach there and the tide was low so we didn't go in the water much but we had fun anyway....
She was sure tired but didn't fall asleep in the car like we thought.  She got cranky later and when we took her home, she said she wanted to know if it was okay to "rest" her eyes!
It's tough work watching a 5 year old for 2 days in a row.  We feel like we have a day off today!
We got up to get some things out of storage to take with us a week from now when we go to stay in Georgia for several weeks.

Missouri & Lake of the Ozark's

Wow, how time does fly!  We've been to Missouri for 6 days and now back from seeing my brother Dan and family.  Had a really great time seeing all the nieces, nephew and grand-nieces and grand-nephews!  We went to Linda's family's Lake House on the Lake of the Ozarks---what beautiful grounds and house!  Brother Dan did the barbeque for the chicken---yum!
Now back in Gainesville for several days.  We will babysit Jazmin for 2 days then return to Cordele, GA next week and the week after for 2 and 1/2 days then return and watch Jazmin for 2 days each week until she goes to school on August 23rd!  Can't believe that she is in kindergarten this year.
After that we'll be headed back to Georgia to work in the Eastman, GA area.  We will stay at the Dodge Hill Inn, bed and breakfast but in a guest cottage that has a kitchen so we can cook some while we are in the area for 2 weeks.
