Realized I never posted this… This month I was happy about: that Drew was able to have the opportunity of a life time to go to Philmont. This month I was sad about: having Drew gone for over 1/2 a month. Something I accomplished this month was: not a whole lot of anything really… Something… Read More »
This month I was happy about: vacationing in the mountains. This month I was sad that: the passing of Rob’s Grandmother. Somethings I accomplished this month were: 2 steps forward, 1 step back to getting the house as clean as I would like it. Something new I did was: go see Aerosmith in concert. Books… Read More »
I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever! I am so far behind and with each passing day, I get farther and farther behind. It’s so frustrating, but life has been so busy. Although, it’s summer, it sure doesn’t feel like except for the HEAT outside. Sometimes I think life would be easier if we… Read More »

Sunday we headed out to the Track Rock Gap Archaeological Area to see petroglyphs made by Native Americans. Most of them were so weather-warn you could hardly make out the shapes, but I just stood there closed my eyes and imagined the Natives pounding away at the rocks to make those carvings. Amazing! We left… Read More »
Saturday was kind of a lazy day, much to Rob’s chagrin. He and my FIL, David, ended up going to the store for steaks and also to check out a couple spots. After they got back we ate lunch and decided to go tubing at Pappy’s. Every time we left the cabin, we passed this… Read More »
Friday we got up, had a quick breakfast, and headed out to see if we could get any fish to bite. Since we needed to find out a good place to fish and get some bait, so we stopped at Paradise Bait and Tackle. We saw signs for it as we drove toward the river.… Read More »
Atlanta Braves Welcome Legends of the Game for Third Annual Alumni Weekend Alumni Softball Game (1992 Braves vs. Braves Alumni) So cool I got this shot.

Our first day in the mountains, we were busy unpacking, grocery shopping, and enjoying the 4th of July festivities.

The greased pole competition was… Read More »

Warm Fuzzies A tall, tough looking guy walks up to the desk with a pile of big books. He places them on the desk and as he does so I see the forehead, eyes, and nose of a little girl as she peeks over the top of the desk trying to see. The little girl… Read More »

A few weeks ago, we were traveling somewhere and Alex was “playing a game” with Drew, where he would hide the folded-up straw wrapper and Drew would have to guess where it was. Alex had a brilliant place to put it. See the pic below. I wasn’t aware of what was going on in the… Read More »

A list of 10 old TV shows you’d like to make a comeback. Ok, so when I first read this prompt, I was thinking that this was asking for shows that I wanted to see reruns of…but then I realized. NO, what shows could/should be remade today. So here goes (in no particular order) 1.… Read More »
Drew got his braces today! He just got the top set today along with ‘stuff’ on the bottom teeth (which you can’t see unless he opens his mouth) so that his mouth can’t close all the way, which allows room for the adjustments to take place. Dr. T says that he’s trying to correct the… Read More »
For the Cub Scouts Summer Trip, we went to Lake Winfield Scott. It’s about 85 north of Atlanta in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. It was a really great place to camp regardless of age. Hiking trails, swimming, canoeing, fishing, and lots of wild life lurking in the woods. Camp is set up. The boys playing… Read More »
