The Halles, family friends, came visit Keith and I today. They went to Savannah to go eat at Paula Deen's restaurant and drove the two hours to spend the day with us. We went eat downtown, showed Mr. Halle the ship at Patriot's Point and

went to the beach. Our time was to short but we really enjoyed being with them. Hopefully, they will come back another day for a longer visit. We miss you, Halles!

These pics are attached to the blog below. I wanted to show everyone that was there with us on Sunday.

Keith and I just spent a week down in Lafayette and Houston. Though we did lots of stuff I only took pics of Brandy's birthday party. Happy Birthday, Brandy Anne!

I was lucky enough to spend her actual birthday with her as well as our Sunday lunch to celebrate!

Look how great Christine looks after just having a baby and not sleeping at night!

Here they are eating Daddy's barbeque which was fabulous. Daddy does not cook his barbeque enough so it was a real treat to have it. Thanks again, Daddy for the dinner!

Brandy is wrapped in the quilt I made her for her birthday. I had such a good time making this quilt for her cause I got to use all kinds of fun fabrics. I miss everyone already and hope to make it back soon!

Kyle came for a visit last week and we had a fun time. We spent lots of time at the beach and Kyle spent most of his time skimboarding. Here is one video of many. We miss you, Kyle. Hope you had a great first day of school!

Keith and I went to Gatlinburg with Michelle and John recently. We had a great time hanging out with them. Michelle and Keith are posing in downtown Gatlinburg with a bear that we all new MaB would love.

Here we are at Clingman's Dome which is high up in the mountains. It is the second highest point east of the Mississippi. My friend, Pam told me about this and even warned me of the walk up but I couldn''t imagine how hard the walk would be until I did it. And I can't even say I did it since Keith pushed me up almost the whole half mile. It was cool to be up there even though you can see how thick the fog was.

We stopped by a stream on the side of the road and took some pics. I love this one of Michelle.

There are lots of little country stores along the way and it was fun to take pics of Michelle and John like this! Michelle really went with it.

The best part of the trip for me was the white water rafting. I just love doing that and we all had a really good time. The trip was fun and I can't wait to do it again. I miss Michelle and John and am hoping to see them again soon. Love yall!

Here is an old reunion picture from around1973 based on the facts that Christine and Neal are not in it so therefore, not born yet. Those were fun reunions with lots of good barbeque.

While I was in Lafayette, we had a family reunion. We had not had one of these in over 15 years so this was lots of fun. Though I don't know everyone, it was fun to see some of the people that I do know. Everyone looked great and I hope to do this again next year.
