Lots of fun dow south!!

I had a WONDERFUL trip to Georgia. I flew down and spent Thursday evening with Annie..it was fun to be able to spend time with the kids and then Annie and I stayed up really late and talked. On Friday morning I slept in a little and then went and had a wonderful mani/pedi..after that I met back up with Annie and she took me out to Stonecrest to meet and have lunch with Linda. After that Linda took me for my Ross/Marshall's fix...didn't buy much but I love to dig thru those stores for bargains. The rest of the afternoon I stayed with Linda which was so great to have some "alone time" with her. On Friday evening we had 16 girls playing bunco....it was so great to see so many of the gals that I used to work with...I had some time to talk with all of them and get caught up on them and their kids and what they have been doing since I saw them last 2 years ago. I was a little nervous about seeing the group since I hate the way I look now but that went ok...I was finally able to just quit worrying about it and enjoy the evening. I worked a lot of years with many of these girls and have some wonderful memories of our relationships that we built over those years...some as many as 20 years....it was really nice to spend a fun evening with them. Of course, Linda and I stayed up too late and the roofers that are working on her house came really early so we got up and when Jamie came we left to go pick up Annie and head to the cabin in Ellijay. We did make 2 stops...I love Kickin chicken sandwiches at Zaxbys' so we ate there...then we stopped at a wonderful apple orchard..how many apples did I get....NONE! I didn't get any apples but we sure found an awesome apple caramel walnut apple pie to eat later that evening for dessert. The weather was perfect up in the mountains. We sat on the screech porch for hours just sipping cocktails and having snacks...when it was time for the sun to go down we all moved to the hot tub. It was so beautiful to sit in the warm water and see the stars, the milky way, and the moon. Out where we were you do not hear cars, you don't see street lights....it is just very quiet and peaceful....you hear the crickets off in the distance or squirrels playing in the trees. Having a chance to do something like this really is therapeutic....I just felt so relaxed and happy. I was glad to be able to see so many of my wonderful friends and to be in such a beautiful place that was so peaceful and relaxing. Once we finally got up and on the road this morning Linda was sweet enough to take me to a wonderful little bbq on our way out of town. The food was good but wow, did we see some interesting folks in there....our waitress had a habbit of taking her lower dentures and rolling them around in her mouth....EEK!!! That's a good ol' dose of backwoods Georgia for ya'all!!! We really did have a great time....thanks girls for putting aside the things that you needed to do this weekend to be able to spend time with me...you guys are the greatest!! I love you!~
