3-11-17  a day in the cabin:

After a really mild winter, it decided to turn cold this weekend!  It actually worked out well, though.  We were able to really enjoy the hot tub, the fire pit, and even just hunkering down in the cabin all weekend.
We started today off with a great breakfast casserole and blueberry banana bread made by Carol. Then a lot of visiting.  Carol and I even spent a lot of time discussing the upcoming baby shower we're planning for Angie and Josh.  They have finally finished all the stuff to be approved for adopting a baby.  Now they have to wait for a baby to come available.  In the mean time, we figured we'd throw them a shower.  It'll be in St. Louis at the end of next month.  Yep, another trip to St. Louis is in my near future!
Even Max (Carol and Darryl's dog) joined in the visiting.

 I managed to get in the hot tub about 5 times in the 2 days we were there. 

3-10-17 on to Ellijay for the weekend:

A few months ago, Angie started planning a weekend to a cabin in Ellijay with Josh's folks and us.  We had gone with them once before (back when they lived here about 5 years ago) and looked forward to going again.  It was a fun weekend then, and it was a fun weekend this time.
So on the 10th, Ken and I took off early and enjoyed the ride through the countryside to the northwest Georgia area.
 One of the many horses we saw along the way.  There sure are a lot of horses in Georgia!  Wonder if this is a descendant of an Indians pinto horse.

 love seeing spring beginning to arrive.
