Fourth of July 2008 in Georgia! The family met at my sister-in-law’s house and had some good eats! Katherine made a Key Lime pie as featured below:
Later that night, we went to Historic Lawrenceville, GA to see the fireworks show. Here is a picture (taken by Katherine) of that very show:
Lily really had a good time watching the fireworks from start to finish. We’re sure to be back next year!
Hello All, this is our trip to Gatlinburg, TN. We stayed at the below cabin:
Which was on the below creek:
Then, we went to DollyWood where Lily had fun riding on various rides as pointed out below:
Check out Lily when she’s flying high with daddy:
And finally, we have mother and baby on top of Ober Gatlinburg:
Well, this past Saturday we had a yard sale. Brought in $54. I had a guy interested in one of my motorcycles too, but he may have decided to pass on the idea. Too bad it was a drizzly day at times and the early afternoon brought in a steady shower. We ended up donating alot of clothes to GoodWill. We’ll have another yard sale this fall and I’ll try to take off a Friday so we can have it Friday and Saturday as long as the weather permits. Trying to get everything set up at like 7 in the morning on a Saturday is a bad idea. Especially when the vultures start landing that early in the morning. We will be going on vacation this Wednesday so now prepping for that will start.
Yup, tomorrow I’ll be celebrating Father’s Day for the 2nd year! We’re having a BBQ over at our house. I’m going to grill up some alligator and Katherine is making crabby patties. Katherine’s father will be cooking either lamb chops or steaks. We received our economic stimulus payment check – that will come in handy especially since we’re going out of town in a couple of weeks and need to get the a/c checked out in Volvo. Last weekend we went out to an Indian restaurant which had a really good buffet. Next weekend we plan on having a driveway sale on Saturday so hopefully we’ll be able to get rid of some unused items.
I guess I’ve been slacking off the past month with the posts. We’ve done a bunch, but I didn’t want to make you go to sleep just with writing. We’ve done a bunch and HAVE taken pictures but it’s not my camera and the little one keeps the big one busy so I can’t always get the files when I would like. Anyways, since last writing, we’ve gone to the Inman Park Festival and had some fun walking around intown Atlanta for a couple of hours. We even bought a little $5 oven mitt holder that mounts on the wall from some French speaking guy. Note to self – don’t buy the Polish Sausage sandwiches from the food vendors – they have some kind of crazy herbs in them – totally unacceptable! We’ve also gone fishing back at Dockery Lake. I didn’t catch a thing. I think I’m going to give in to my wife’s father’s method of utilizing a Carolina Rig. We’ve eaten one Sunday lunch at an Indian buffet which was pretty good, although for some reason or another, I completely threw up when we got back to the car in the parking lot just feet away from the restaurant. Wasn’t worth $12.50 or something to barf it all up. I must have put too many different things on my plate. We also had a chance to get up to Helen, GA via a Bonsai Store one Saturday afternoon. Katherine had some work to do on one of her Bonsai’s so we went there and said why not just go to Helen since it’s 30 minutes away! Again, pictures will come soon. Hell, I may as well start an album just for this blog. Oh, and by the way, to make sure we don’t get into any more picture troubles, I bought a Chinese MP4 (yes, that’s one better than MP3) player direct from Hong Kong. It cost a total of US $67.99 and it can play MP3 audio, MP4 video (320×240), take 1.3 Megapixel pictures, take 320×240 videos, play FM stations, record FM stations, record voice, show pictures, dang, the list goes on! My main purpose of getting one was so that I can play back 45-60 minutes episodes of CBS Radio Mystery Theater when we’re camping or taking a car-car (baby talk) trip. But the luxury of having SpongeBob shows on this little baby is more than enough reason y’all should get one. E-mail me on the details! Well, I gotta try to beat some pictures out of Katherine so you guys be cool!
