None of my kids have been in a science fair recently nor have any been recognized on the school video system. Neither was called to the principal's office for a good thing. I haven't passed a major career exam. I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
But....... I did post some new pictures...!!!

Flash Update...!!!
Talked with Manchie last night as she was leaving the kid's science fair meeting at school. Seems we had a run of the Moore's outstanding science brilliance.
As a Lego group leader, Holly made a presentation and showed a video of her team's Lego challenge. She was also recognized by the principal for her involvement. Manchie said she did an excellent presentation.
Also.... here it comes..... Katy's and Hannah's science fair entries were selected to move on to the county science fair and Knox's made honorable mention. Ain't they smart...?!!?

Latest Moore News
Latest news flash.... Marissa and Jonathan came by this afternoon with Griffin so we could see the results of Griffin's first hair cut. He now looks like a boy. No more baby.
Frank, Manchie's dad, has been in the hospital in Mooresville since last Wednesday night. Manchie went over Thursday from Charlotte and came home today. He was running a fever so they have been giving him transfusions and trying to increase his strength. The doctors are talking to him about inserting a drain from his bladder. Marissa told us all the medical stuff about it and the different options while they were here. Frank is much better now, but he is almost 91 and beginning to act more his age. He has always been so active and still went to McDonalds for the men's coffee corral in the mornings. He'll probably be a few days before he gets back to doing that. Manchie will most likely be headed back to Mooresville this coming week.
Hannah has a swim meet that started yesterday, Friday, and runs through Sunday. This one is in town at the center near Furman used for all the county wide championships and classic meets, so I'll probably ride over tomorrow and check it out. Don't know any news about Knox, Katy or Macon that Holly hasn't covered on her blog.
For all who did not look at Jonathan's blog recently, he passed his CPA exam...!!
Manchie's reopening of the store at Palmetto Home & Garden here in town was official on March 1, even though some things had already sold before. Holly has got the business on PeachTree accounting system and has developed a website (manchiesplace.com). She has more to do, but it is looking good so far.
I'm going back to NY this week for my fourth time this year. Getting old... both the travel and me.

Home at last
Been keeping my travel plans posted as well as Manchie and Holly's Atlanta market plans. Time for an update. Manchie and I are back home... safe and sound. Think she and Holly had a productive and enjoyable trip to market. I'm sure they walked several miles. Manchie got a pedometer for Christmas and wore it while there, but I don't have the foggiest notion how many strides are in a mile.
Manchie is re-opening her "store" in Palmetto Home & Garden, the Greenville merchant mall she was in until a few months ago. The "new" owner lasted about 6 months and then sold it to a group made up of an employee and two merchants with their spouses. They called her and asked if she was interested in coming back. Holly is going to be in charge of that location.
I was in NY a couple of days the first week in January, in Fall River MA last week and then went straight over to NY last Saturday. Got home last night and am working from home today. I promise we are not avoiding meeting up with parts of the family.
Holly and her brood left this morning for Maryland to visit David's brother and his family. Don't think they listened to either the weather report or Manchie about making that trip. Hannah gave up competing in a swim meet for the trip and I don't think she was happy about that.
Manchie and I were going to visit with Marissa and Griffin today, but found out they went to Highlands to visit M's Dad and then are meeting Jonathan at the lake tomorrow. I haven't gotten to see Griffin walking yet. The last time I saw him he was just taking a step or two. Jonathan and I are making our annual visit to the car show here in town this Sunday. Maybe I can sneak a visit with Griffin then. Oh yeah, and with Marissa and Jonathan too.
P.S. Why duz speel chek think i mispeeled Manchie and foggiest?? (Changed because my sweet niece suggested a different spelling...... still comes up as mispelled)
