Just to show you that we are thrifty, we used the wedding chapel for our Court of Honor later that month.
This is a true pictureof the "Sanibel Bends", a strange condition that occurs whenever one visits Sanibel Island.
OK, I know it's been three months since we last "blogged you". It seemed that someone always beet us to whatever news we had to tell. Kate sent great pictures of Sara's and Chad's wedding, and Stephen blogged about Jackson so what's there for us to say.
Nothing hew has happened to us here, except we keep on working and Stephen, Beth and family have sold there house and moved in with us while they plan to work on the big house. Stephen calls it the 1869 house for the year it was built.
We took Mom and Paw to Florida for a week's vacation in August. We stayed at Point Santo in a ground floor beach front unit so we could see the ocean while we did everything.
The side of the unit faced the lake and pool area where Becky and I got Mom into the jacuzzi one night. We almost lost her there. She finally made her way out and stumbled back to the unit. Paw never made it.
Mom didn't get down to the beach until about Friday. She was a little reluctant to go down but after she made it down and back she wished she had gone sooner.
We had lunch at "Thistle Lodge" which is at the "Casa Ibell Resort" down a few doors from our condo.I found this good looking lady outside and took her picture. Isn't she pretty.
We couldn't talk any other of the clan to go with us down there but we had a great time anyway. Maybe next time.
I forgot to take any pictures but Becky and I got to go to Midledgeville to work on a house for a friend at church. We spent a week down there doing all sorts of things and got paid too. I'll try better if we get anoyher chance at some interesting jobs.
I enjoy seeing what is happening over there (where ever that is) and forget that you might want to know what is happening over here. I'll put it short and sweet. It's been hot and dry, very dry. They say if it doesn't start raining bu February, Lake Allatoona will be dry.
We are going to Mississippi the first weekend in November to see her and Chad and to see a dance she will be performing in. I will show you some pictures after that trip.
The Fair has come and gone, cool weather has finally moved in, the leaves may just turn brown and fall off bucause of the dry weather, the apples are in in Elijay but I understand they are not that good (guess why), life is good.
We have a new preacher, Dr. Bill Ross from First Baptist Church in Athens GA. I think he is great so far and think he will do a lot to get our church back on the right track. He seems very eager to get us together, working side by side to do what Gad wants us to do.
I'll colse now but will blog anain soon.
