I had never heard of Stone Mountain, GA before we started planning this trip, but it was a place Mark wanted to see. It just so happened that I have another friend I had never met before who lives on the opposite side of Atlanta and he and his wife were free to meet us tonight. Here are today’s pictures: Continue reading
This being Thanksgiving, there wasn’t much traffic on the roads. I glory in the change of scenery and the warmth. This is the first Thanksgiving ever where I wore short sleeves and shorts to dinner! Continue reading
We crossed two state borders today, skipping over South Carolina. We will be back in a week or so, but we are in a hurry to spend Thanksgiving with my cousin and his family in Orlando tomorrow. By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I trust you will be with family and enjoying the food, the fellowship, and “the game” (whichever one you watch). Continue reading
I thought I should tell a little bit about what the others do around here since the season is winding down. Actually it isn’t going to feel much like it’s winding down this weekend because we have sixty three campers checking in for Labor Day weekend today. Continue reading
I was so extremely busy over the 4th of July weekend that there was no time to write. For one thing, Mark had an eye appointment in Greenbay on Thursday so that took the better part of the day (it’s a four hour drive round trip). We had a lot of campers over the holiday weekend so things were busy on the job. Also, every chance I had to get on my laptop I was working on the report for Mark’s second mock inspection. But there were also some fun activities and I got pictures. Continue reading
I’m not saying that it felt like summer today, but I had a bit of a glow on. I experienced some things today I’ve never experienced before…a turtle laying eggs and the burning of the winter witch! Continue reading
A couple days ago I went “visiting” to my new neighbors and co-workers. I got to go inside Judy’s and Susan’s RVs, and as I was leaving Susan’s she said she had to plant some flowers in her yard. I realized she was talking about the area outside her RV and I had an epiphany… Continue reading
I have always thought it would be romantic to take a horse-drawn carriage ride, and apparently a number of other people thought so too. Mark and I made a dress-up date for tonight to go into San Antonio and take a horse-drawn carriage tour of the city. Traffic was congested and we waited in line for nearly two hours, but we finally got our romantic ride in a Cinderella carriage! Here are some pictures from this evening: Continue reading
When my nephew, Nate, was young, my sister Lauryn decided to do the gift giving on New Years Eve so that the family could focus on Christ’s birth on Christmas. She figured it would be appropriate to start the New Year with new things, so the biggest family party of the year has ever since been New Years Eve with Lauryn as the hostess extraordinaire. The food was always fantastic, but the biggest event was the gift exchange, especially the white elephant exchange. Her parties were always the highlight of the year. Continue reading
Thank you to those of you who have sent us Christmas cards and newsletters (or in one case, a newspaper). I have been holding some of them till today so that I’d be in the Christmas spirit when I read them. Continue reading
