We went to Atlanta over the weekend. It was a great trip until we got to Locust Grove. Then, Holy Moly! The traffic was bumper to bumper. It took an hour to get to Mom & Dad's house. This pic was in South Georgia where the traffic was much better.


When we got there the roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, corn on the cob, pecan pie, carrot cake, and cherry cheese cake were ready and calling our names. We always eat like piggies when we go to mom & dad's. Saturday morning we had bacon and eggs, homemade biscuits and bulldog gravy, OJ and coffee. Everyone came over Saturday afternoon and we had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, pan gravy, biscuits, corn on the cob, green beans, baked beans and the same desserts. Then Sunday we had sausage, eggs, bulldog gravy, OJ and coffee. How's that for adding a few more pounds to the rear end? It's all their fault!


We looked at Rachel's pictures of her month long visit to Africa. How awesome! I want to go so bad. However, I'd be afraid of bumping into naked boy in the desert!





Dad has been working in the yard. It's hard work, especially with that red clay. But the results are great. Steve brought over some cuttings from a flowering bush (I don't remember the name) and Dad planted these twigs around the perimeter of the back yard. Now they are twigs with some green leaves. We are going to take pictures of these twigs every time we go up so we can document their progress. Here is one shot of them (you have to look very close).









Also, here is a picture of mom and dad sitting by some of his gardening handy work.
Aren't the flowers beautiful?
