Thursday in the Sunshine State
Today is our first look at Florida rain but it's supposed to be headed east in a couple of hours so I guess that means it's going to rain in the east in two hours. Or something. We thought about going to Daytona today to poke around Bike Week but we may wait a bit and check that out.Mike has a cough. I think he needs to see a doctor to get a puffer of some kind. The cough is getting worse and it's as though he is going to cough up his shoes. It may be a bit of a problem to find a local doc but I will be on the hunt today and will check with RBC insurance to determine what they will suggest. Then of course, we have to see what the PATIENT suggests. That could be another sotory.Sea World was lovely yesterday. It's our favorite park as you can do a tour in three hours and feel like you have seen something. It's always new. We left at noon and had wings for lunch and then came back here to the shed and napped for awhile. Part of whatever's going on with Mike: he gets tired. I do too and we needed a good rest up yesterday afternoon. He went to the pool for awhile, to read...not to swim. Will add some pics!!

IT'S A GIRL
I saw my first ultrasound yesterday and while three of the people in the room recognized everything they saw, I needed a bit of a tutorial. Essentially after checking all of the vital organs and bones and sizes, they started looking for something and when they didn't find it, the tech said "it looks like a girl to me!" and that was that. A baby sister for Jocelyn in twenty weeks. Very very exciting and we were so delighted to see this procedure. The baby is going to be called Bhreagh and that is so amazing since I hoped they would call her that, and NEVER SAID A WORD ABOUT MY NAME CHOICE!!! I just hoped Chris might think of it. GiGi said yesterday that she will spend her whole life spelling her name and I said...NOT SO..Ask anyone in Nova Scotia how to spell Bhreagh and they will do it correctly...especially all of those Cape Bretoners!!! That's the big news of the day...off to Sea World...thanks for popping in today!!

Strawberries and other things
My pictures need to be cropped to improve the look and I am not used to this computer and what it does; just for now, here is our strawberry girl!!
Hendrick Motorsports in Charlotte
Just to prove I was there!
Dale (SR) signed Jeff Gordon's car after his win at Daytona in 1999 (I believe). Each car in the Hendrick's museum is a winning car from a major race in a particular year. The building below is in Concord NC, the Museum at Hendrick. In between the two buildings you could walk up and watch the pit crews practice, which we did. 
Mike is in fine company here!!

NASCAR Hall of Fame
Glory Road, banked to simulate each of the different tracks.
Obviously this is outside looking up; the one above to the right is in the Hall of Honor. So much to see.A little shopping tour
A beautiful day today; we did a little shopping outing this morning but neither of us is really into it just yet. Lots of time and the list isn't that long.
Mike has a terrible cough and I am not sure if he is going to need a trip to the doc or not. He says no and I guess that's going to be the answer but if he isn't improving in a couple of days, we may have to bite the bullet and go. We both had colds before we left and mine is better now although I was still coughing when we were on the road but he seems worse in the last few days. It's a wait and see situation at this point.
Off to get Chris in an hour and then after the visit for the ultrasound we will likely have Shroves for supper. I offered to bring my box of pancake mix from Cracker Barrell but Chris informed me that's not the way they roll and he will be doing them from scratch!! I thought the mix was a pretty good idea but not for him.
All for now. I am going to read awhile while Mike is at the pool. We checked out the club house this morning and it's quite something with several exercise machines, a pool table and a huge entertainment space as well as the access to the pool and hot tub. There were oodles of people there this morning and apparently you should arrive early to get a chaise. Everyone was as brown as a chestnut...have they never heard of sun damage?! I will look like a sheet when I get there!
Enjoy your day; more when we know about baby!!
