more on vacation(with pictures)

Will try this again. Lost my entry this morning due to a goof I made not AOL.

 

We left from Connie's house to head to my niece's house. On the map it is really not all that far. It took about 2 hours to get there. We went through several small towns on our way there. We took the bypass around Athens where the University of Georgia is located. Go Dawgs!  

Finally we get close to their house and the GPS went crazy. Kept telling us we were not on a road. LOL There is new construction and it did not recognize the road yet. As we pull in their driveway thunder began booming and lightening flashing. It looked like the bottom was about to fall out of the sky. Liza told us that they really needed the rain. If it would then they would be able to not water for a day. No such luck, the rain passed by again.

Off we went for a quick tour of the farm We loaded up on a couple of John Deere Gators and took off. Over the hills we went boucing away. LOL It was fun. That evening we ate steaks from Omaha and Wilted Salad. After a late night of talking and watching movies we headed to bed. The next morning dawned clear and I went out and took pictures of trees, trees and more trees.

Picture #7 is Spooky. Spooky was my mama's cat that stayed in her lap after she died. Liza took him home with her at Mama's request. He seemed to remember me or maybe he thought I was Mama. I do sound like her and look a bit like her(actually a lot like her)

After a bit of fishing in the pond we headed out for the next part of our journey.

  2. My dad is from Athens, Ga - I always like hearing about the area. I haven't been there, just Atlanta and Marietta.

    There sure are a lot of trees there - they are really pretty.
