Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine White Coat Ceremony Class of 2019



So on October 24, 2015 I was lucky enough to celebrate my son Alex's White Coat Ceremony. This blog post could be title "A mother's sob story" as I cried my EYES out!! It was an amazing ceremony with all the Pomp and Circumstance you could ever imagine! It was held at Twichell Auditorium at Converse College - beautiful venue!
What a great group of future doctors!

Here are a few pix for your viewing enjoyment!














Afterwards there was a great picnic back at the school! So proud of this great group -they are our future and it is looking bright!

Congrats to one and ALL!

A quick trip to Spartanburg for some mama lovin'


So y'all know I LOVE to visit this town right? It has everything going for it PLUS the added bonus of my baby boy living there while attending VCOM med school! YEAH!
Went for a quick trip last week for some mama items: laundry, sewing, groceries, cleaning, etc. (and an occasional hug!) and snagged a few pix for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy!



Scrubs after a midnight shift of studying!


 I do a LOT of walking while I am there -here is a glimpse of the neighborhood!






LOVE  meeting him at the Little River Coffee shop on  Main street for a quick caffeine hit and a PB&J snack!

           He had to go back for an afternoon of studying but I got to hang out for awhile!



I cannot say enough about this place -the weather is perfect, the people are as nice as can be and the sunsets are beautiful!






Working on the porch is also an added bonus!


I leave a little piece my heart here every time I leave!
See ya in a couple of months Spartanburg! :)

It's Fall Y'all!





Well it's another week of adventure..what can I tell ya? Fall in the Carolina Mountains is just.....well it's Fall Y'all!! I have a few photos from this past week and more to come!

View from our table with friends Mark and Barb from Naples! Had a wonderful lunch/afternoon hanging out at Chops on Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee, GA. I highly recommend!




We had a wonderful time -never get the time to chat and chill in Naples as all 4 of us are self employed and working hard! But give us a while to hang out in the mountains and we are happy!!

In other news I was hard at work again for the wonderful clients I serve!!




And dinner tonight was some amazing wings Dean made for himself -not me as I am a Vegetarian! He is rather enjoying them isn't he? haha!


And more photos from sporting clays with Dean and Alex..finally!!








They are too cute together - I keep score and they just LOVE to beat each other!! LOL!!



This has got Christmas picture written all over it right?? Amicalola Falls is a beautiful place to camp or spend the day - this is the middle Fall which not a lot of people go to - it was stunning!


Final morning at the cabin before we left for Spartanburg. It was so beautiful - view from the loft early in  the am - the mist was coming off the mountains and filling up the valley...hence the name "Misty Mountain Hideaway".
