Savannah trip

Here is Andrew and Taylor's house. We had a great time but the cold that I had was really bronchitis and strep throat so I have been down for the count. Here are a few more pictures, when my head is not so fuzzy, I'll put up more.
Here are the trees at AUBURN that some rabid alabama fan poisoned on the day of the IRON BOWL. I wanted to see what they looked like. Here they are.

There were lots of folks there with us taking pictures. It was sad. I am looking forward to seeing what all good comes out of this because I am sure it will!

Connections!

KimT said to me one day, a few years ago "You need to write a blog. You need to document all the things that happen to you." That got me thinking about it. Not long after that LindaG told me that she read a blog that she thought I would like. That's how I found Anne. I have never met her but feel like I know her. We share many thing in common- AUBURN, PCA churches, home schooling, reading etc. On Anne's blogroll I found Laura. The name of her blog caught my eye- Lines in Pleasant Places- because I love that verse. Laura is a reader, home schooler and I enjoy her outlook on life.

A few years ago, when we went to AUBURN, Laura saw my pictures and told me to let her know when we plan to be there again and she would meet us.

We spent spring break with Andrew and Taylor in Savannah. We planned to go home through AUBURN. I contacted Laura, our meeting was set up and then I got a terrible cold. I didn't want Laura to get this. It is still rough. I contacted Laura again and she suggested that we pull off the highway and into her driveway so we could at least wave at each other. I was so touched that she still wanted to meet. So I called her when we left AUBURN and we pulled in her driveway about 20 minutes later. Carl, Kaitlin and I jumped out to meet her. I handed Carl the camera and here we are.

What a delightful visit! She also met her husband at AUBURN and goes to a PCA church. We saw her sewing place and her beautiful yard. I felt like I had know her for years. I do hope we can meet up again soon for a long visit over a meal!

I hope to one day meet Anne!

KimT is now saying she wants me to write a book. Kaitlin has the name already "Hamsters in the bath tub." I'll keep you posted.

Back to my cold. I am moving slowly and not thinking too quickly but wanted to let you know a little more about our trip so here are a few shots from Kaitlin. It is an amazing blessing to have a professional photographer in the family.



We ate our way through Savannah. Lots of funny stories- I'll try to remember to tell you about me at the Beer Parlor!?! More tomorrow, I hope!

161 days!

Plan your vacations here is your AUBURN schedule

Do you have a bubba?

I had to start out with this picture because it is so funny to me. My brother and his wife are two of the happiest folks I know but when I held up the camera on Sunday at lunch they didn't respond like usual.
Ahhh Here is how I know them anyhooooo
After church on Sunday, Andrew suggested that we go to Uncle Bubba's for lunch. Uncle Bubba is Paula Dean's brother.
Look who greeted us at the door...why that is Bubba himself
Here is a picture of our happy group minus Carl and me in the front. Andrew wasn't too keen on the waitress taking a group shot

Let's start with dessert first. Some of the best pecan pie ever
Oysters, Carl and Andrew enjoyed them.
I got Low County boil. Yum yum
Andrew got shrimp and grits. It was wonderful.

Bubba was back up front when we left so Kaitlin and I got our picture made with him.
I would highly recommend his restaurant and hope we go back!

I found some of you!

One of the blogs on my blogroll had a post on Spokeo . You need to read it and follow the instructions because I did and I typed in some of you and found you.
