**My Ass Hurts!**

Well Jackie and I were sitting in the den drinking our coffee this morning when suddenly all these deer started walking across the street. I grabbed my camera and took these photos. So I guess a nice flower bed is out of the question.

I didn't want to waste my weekends doing yard work so I bought a farm tractor. Got it for a good price and it comes with a mowing attachment. It's been lots of fun to play with!

We drove up to Virginia Sunday afternoon just for the heck of it. We stopped just across the border in VA at a restaurant called the "Memphis Grill". It looks like an old Denny's they converted into a diner. There's actually a life size Elvis standing in a corner. The place was full of old farmers and country music was playing over the speakers. Now Jackie was already grinning before we opened the menu. Get this....the menu had an "International" section which consisted of 2 items.....are you ready for this.....it was spaghetti and the other was stir fry. I was telling Jackie to shut it and not laugh but it was hard not to. Anyway I ordered the BBQ brisket and Jackie ordered the ribs. Let me tell you....that was some of the best BBQ I've had in a long time!!! So if you ever find yourself on I85 on the way to NC, you gotta stop at this place!

Well it's springtime in NC and all the trees are in bloom. We spent the whole weekend walking around the various parks in Durham. The weather is great and everything is flowering.

WOW...This is the 1st time I've been able to use my cruise control and high beams on my car since I bought it.
