Fun Few Days

Hope y'all had a nice Memorial Day weekend.  I know we sure did!  Chris decided to head out to the golf course on Saturday...no surprises there. So, the girls and I figured we'd go on a little adventure.  We got lunch at Chick Fil-A, then drove over to Fort Yargo State Park.  We went on a walk, then got the urge to rent a canoe.  Ahh...we're such pros at that!  PIECE.OF.CAKE! 

There were 3 of us, but the only canoe they had available was for 2 people. So, Brittany ended up having to sit on the floor of the canoe in a big, puddle of water.  Not off to a good start. 



We, finally, made our way from the beach area, but we never went much farther.  Basically, we sat in the middle of the lake and went in 360 degree circles, over and over, again.  I think our paddles were defective! Boy, did we get in some good laughs...and I'm sure a lot of people who were watching us did, too!


We were somehow able to make it back to shore without the assistance of a rescue boat.  Felt good to be back on dry land, again! 

We decided to head back home since we were going to a baseball game that evening.  It's the minor league Braves team that plays close to where we live.

Here's the mascot, Chopper, who's always hamming it up for the crowd!




We topped off the night with a late-night trip to Sonic for a round of milkshakes. Worth every single calorie!  I'll be sure to post tomorrow about our Memorial Day and pictures of our house now that its covered in a fresh coat of paint.  Have a good one!




P.S.  I wanted to thank each of you for your words of encouragement and prayers regarding my GYN. procedure tomorrow. I made a mistake...I'm having a colposcopy, not a Cone biopsy.  I'm not sure why I got confused.  All I know for sure is that I'm ready to have it over and done with. Please keep those prayers coming!  THANK YOU!

Hey, Batter, Batter!

Hope y'all had a fun Memorial Day!  We enjoyed a nice relaxing day ourselves, then had a feast of BBQ ribs and corn-on-the-cob.  It really hit the spot!  Later on in the evening, we went to watch the minor league Braves play. We had great seats right off of 1st base and, thankfully, they were in the shade!  I can't think of anything that spells summertime FUN more than a game of baseball!


After the game ended, they had a spectacular fireworks show!  We all stood there and just took it all in!


We got home around a quarter till 11:00 PM, then the girls and I sat down to watch "The Bachelorette".  Are any of you tuning in?  I told myself I wouldn't watch one more episode, but I'm completely HOOKED!  The guy that wears the mask on his face needs to GO!  I'm sorry, but he leaves too many questions unanswered.  Mainly, I'd like to know what he's trying to hide.  Then, there's Bentley who's going to stir up BIG TROUBLE very soon. Yep...I'll definitely be watching, no matter how hard I try to fight it!

I hopped on the treadmill this morning to do my daily run.  I watched the Casey Anthony trial.  Oh, my word...I can't pry myself away from the TV long enough to accomplish much of anything.  The testimony of her mother was riveting!  I know some may not agree with me, but I think Casey is GUILTY as charged.  I'm not buying the whole idea of Caylee drowning in the family pool...just too many things indicate, otherwise. What are your thoughts?

After I got off the treadmill and watched some of the trial, Brittany asked me to go to the park and walk with her.  She took me down a ravine trail that ended up being a very strenous hike.  We probably walked just over 4 miles.  We saw a big, black snake on the way...'bout scared me to death!  I was so pooped when we finally made it back home.  In fact, Bella looks exactly like I feel!
 

Sorry I haven't had a chance to visit all of you like I have been, but my computer time is pretty limited because Chris is on it most of the day.  He has another interview tomorrow in Atlanta that he's really looking forward to,  so please say a prayer for him!  I promise to keep you updated on any new developments!
