Beginning of September....

Last weekend was Labor Day and the beginning of September. There was beach time (Norah and I), creek time (Norah and Jeff), house chores (it never ends), dinner with awesome friends (why did I not take pics? Always a good time with the Keith Family!), and the start of football season! There is still lots of UNO playing going on in the Hoppe house as well and I must say that it is a really fun game.

That was the laundry I put up last weekend...the red circle is Darcy just watching! We are a family of three and laundry never ends...I cannot imagine the laundry that larger families have on a daily basis...you should get an award!


Norah has been doing swim lessons so that she can be on the swim team. She is loving it! And of course she always has time for a little iPad action.



So Monday (Labor Day) came and I was unloading the dishwasher when my back had a shooting pain and went out. I hit the floor and could not move. (I know, I know, the most random stuff has happened since living here) Long story short. Back in bad, bad pain...went to doctor, nothing broken, loads of drugs, feeling sick and loopy...made it through. Still having some back issues so will have to go to the Orthopaedic doctor or chiropractor maybe? But feeling better at least (medicine made me yucky!) Any advice on a bad back...I'm all ears as this is new for me.

So I took it easy this weekend...lots of football watching and staying around the house. I did go to the movies with Amanda to see "The Hundred-Foot Journey" and must say that I really liked it. There is no action, special effects, etc. just a good ole' story about family and food. It was a simple, feel good movie with fabulous scenes, wonderful characters, and the food...wow!


I feel like I cooked a lot more and experimented with new recipes a good bit in Charlotte but haven't done that here as much. I feel like I cook the same thing here over and over again. I wonder if it is because you are limited to what ingredients you can get in Pawleys Island? But after seeing a movie like that...it makes me want to try some stuff out. I think THESE might be a good place to start. Also I think Amanda and I might need to travel to Charleston soon to taste some more exotic food or maybe a trip to ATL is in order! (MB I know you could point us to some good ethnic restaurants!!)

Well today is more football and gearing up for the week. I love the Fall season! And I have to give Jeff a big thanks for stepping it up last week while I was out of it...thanks Hop!
