What a great day we had yesterday.  After working hard all week with 37 college students and trying to get a  Habitat house finished for dedication we took the day to go to Cuthberth,Georgia to have a "mini "class reunion of the 1962 Bainbridge High School class, along with friends from some of the other classes and also other schools. Stella and Tommy Barr were so gracious to host this event at their beautiful home.  It was built around 1842 by slaves for a man from Bedford County Virginia as a wedding present for his 15 year old bride, therefore called, Bedford House and later known as the Key property.
We just had a great day of fun, fellowship, reminiscing old times and talking about wrinkles, weight, aches and pains. I will post some pictures when I have a better wifi connection.
Today is catch up day and get ready for tomorrow however the weather does not look to promising for this week. We are hoping to get at least one of the houses under roof but we will just have to wait and see.  Had thunderstorms last night and more rain is coming today. We will be working until Friday if possible and then heading back to Virginia unless the snow continues up there and then I think we might stay a while longer. Ha Ha,  No we have to go home to have doctor appointments in order to get prescriptions for another year so we can TRAVEL again.

Later,

Catch Up Time 3-24-11

Sorry that I have not been able to get anything written for the Blog but without good cell coverage and internet access it is a little hard.
We spent March 13 thru 20th in Perry Georgia at the FMCA Convention with lots of other motorhomes.  Then we moved over to Plains Georgia to do another Habitat Build.  Things have been less than expected around here and that is a whole story within itself but just wanted to let you know we are fine and will be adding to this blog probably after we get back to Virginia.   Our plan now is to leave here on April 2 and stop over in Greer SC for a night to see Bill & Deb Dorris and then on to Virginia.
This weekend (26th) we are going to Cuthbreth georgia to Stella and Tommy Barr's house  for a group gathering of high school friends from mine and Larry's classes. I won't tell you how many years it has been since we were in high school.  It should be lots of fun.  We are looking forward to it.
Until later
I will post pictures of the build and our weekend later.

The Big A Bus arrived in Bainbridge, Georgia on March 1, 2011 to lots of fun and fellowship.  Larry had about had all the cousins he could handle for a while so he went off with Keith Newberry(who also happens to be a cousin) to a fish supper with the boys.  All the "girl" cousins got together for dinner, not much eating, just a lot of talking.  Then Dan was brave and came over to see everyone.  What a good time we had talking about the days when we were younger and what we did at Big Mama's house.
We have continued to catch up with people we have not seen in years.  Buddy and Janice Rich Rentz met us for dinner on Friday night along with Buddy's sister, Betty who I had not seen in many years.
Saturday night about 14 of us from the classes of 1959 thru 1963 got together at Ann Reynolds house for a night of good food and fellowship.  It must be our age as we just seem to want to reconnect with people from our high school days.
Today has been sort of a day of rest in lots of ways but I did go to the Nursing home to see Mrs. Gambrell who used to live out at Spring Creek.
We will be here until Thursday when we go to meet with some of our Discovery Club members in Colquitt Georgia.
