Fun Southern Style!


I spent a fun few days in Atlanta Georgia visiting Judy and David and kids! Here we are canoeing down the Chatahoochee River! Judy, David and Jonah were one rowing team and Eliza, Abigail and I were the other. We had a heated race back to the dock at the end. The 'Eliza- Abigail-Sherrie' team WON fair and square! "GIRLS RULE" !!! We were lucky enough to observe some river wild life. Two Beavers were gnawing on sticks on the riverside. We were close enough to hear the squeak of their teeth on the wood. Our guide said we were very fortunate to have experienced that. It was a beautiful, peaceful setting and a great experience. We even ate cattails! (They taste a lot like cucumbers!)

Horsing Around!

My friend, Lori, that I knew from Memphis, lives in Mission Viejo just an hour north of here. She has horses!! So, after hinting all year that I would LOVE to come and help her exercise her horses.... we finally did it! Only, this horse, Jimmy, didn't want to go for a ride and ended up dumping Lori into a gully and ran all the way back to the stables. My horse tried to do the same, but, I managed to keep him (Shilo) put and I jumped off before I fell off! It ended up being a short ride, but fun and certainly an adventure.
