PLAYHOUSE







Well, the last windows and the door got hung around 2 pm today (6/19) and our "butts" are dragging. Larry and I have worked well together, me being more of the gopher but he needed me to do that. I did help build and set walls. Pounding nails is getting to be "old hat".
I will post some pictures when we have time or have the energy to get them off the camara onto the computer. Larry starting priming the trim this afternoon and we will continue to paint tomorrow and Monday.
The girls and Ally are thrilled with the playhouse and Noah is already talking to Papa about wanting an addition on to his treehouse next summer.
The girls are sleeping in the MH tonight. Noah went to a baseball game with some friends and Ally and Doug are out to dinner with the Hedrick clan.
Thought I better let you guys know we were still kicking but NOT very high.
Oh I forgot we went to see Jersey Boys last night and it was Wonderful.

Indianapolis, Indiana 6-13-10

We left North Georgia on Friday morning around 9 am and had a great day of traveling. Not much traffic and just a little thunderstorm but we made a long day of it and arrive in Florence Ky, just south of the Cinninati Ohio area around 7 pm and found a wonderful Wal Mart to stay overnight in. Got up and on the road around 9 am on Saturday for the 2 1/2 hour drive to Indy which took a little longer due to RAIN and more RAIN. Arrived around noon and then it was time to hussle to a baseball game for Noah. He has grown so much and is doing a great job with baseball. His team won and then we were off to see another friend play soccer for a little while. Had dinner at the local Mexican restaurant and then had quite the thunderstorm. There were tornado warnings south of here but we just got wind, rain and lots of lightening and thunder. Larry and I said goodnite to the kids and came to the "bus" and crashed.
We are up and heading to church this morning and then who knows what the afternoon will bring. Hoping to go to Lowes to get the materials for the playhouse.

Updates on travels in North Georgia







These are some pictures of Anna Ruby Falls. Two creeks come together at this point. It was a nice "little" hike up to the falls but I made it.
Today, Thursday, all of us ladies (16) to be exact had a girls day out and went shopping, looking, shopping, had lunch and are now back resting until we get our next round of food. Seems most all of these Rally include food, food and more food. I did really well though, only bought Christmas ornaments for the grandchildren for the next 2 years.
We will be leaving tomorrow heading somewhere in between here and Indiana.

Monday 6-7-10

We had a good day exploring the mountains of North Georgia. I thought on the drive from Hiawassee to Helen that we were back in Virginia on Skyline Drive. There were some curves ad more curves. As far as the little town of Helen, I was disappointed. Once you have been to Frankenmuth, Michigan there is no comparison.
Tomorrow we are doing a day trip to Anna Ruby Falls. I am told this is a wonderful place to see. May check out the Cabbage Patch Doll Factory in Cleveland, Georgia but just will wait and see.
We love being with the Discovery Club friends .

On the Road Again 6-5-10

The Big A Bus is back on the road. We left Virginia on Saturday 6-5-10 with Donna and Chuck Tolson, heading to a Discovery Rally in Hiawassee, Georgia. Now this is a part of north georgia that Larry and I have not explored so this should be fun. Tomorrow we are going into Helen, Georgia which I understand is like an Alpine Village. We will be here until Friday and then we travel to Indianapolis, Indiana to visit Ally and family and build a playhouse for the grandaughters. I had one when I was a "little" girl, which was many years ago so I am excited about helping Larry build one for them. He has already built the door and windows before we left Virginia. I will update this later and hope to post one pictures.
