a hop and skip to Georgia

April 22

This past week, Carol and I caught a cheap flight to Georgia to visit Aaron, Michelle and Preston. The flight seemed short, but we've really spent a lot of time in airplanes lately............

It was great to see them all again.

We had the whole week to just enjoy the small town of Thomaston, do some work around their home, cook some meals for them and enjoy their company- all the things we like to do.

In their dining room, Aaron and I added ceiling moulding to their beautiful remodel job.

We started by going to dinner at La Fiesta, a great Mexican restaurant in town. Ray joined us and we got into the weekly trivia game which we would have won.......if only we would have listened to Preston on that last question!!

AJ had to do his paperwork and Michelle enjoyed the help in the kitchen.


The pecan tree in front of their house was just beginning to bloom. Its half the size it was a year ago, probably a good thing with the winter they had.

Their pool was beautiful as usual and Preston and I were the first ones in for the season. They spend a lot of time out there.......

Lacey and Cody are great pets and inseparable....

Carol and I love to drive around in the country. This is a favorite of ours, a country mill stream with a dam. This mother duck, with the male above watching out, paraded their ducklings around.

For our last day, we drove the countryside with Aaron and the three of us took Michelle out during her lunch time to a country buffet. It was Bulluchs Country Buffet in Warm Springs, the town where President Roosevelt had his summer White House in the 30's and 40's.

It was another great visit and we plan to do it at least yearly!!
